    Thanks Tahllulah.

    Back from Cub camp a little bit rosier cheeked than I expected to be so here's 2 days of positives!

    Saturday
    1) I got some sleep...even if not very much and even though I did keep sliding down my roll mat!!
    2) I cuddled the most adorable baby barn owl and stroked an adult
    3) Despite the torrential rain we had a fab day!

    Sunday
    1) I've had a go at bellboating and didn't fall in the water!
    2) The sun shone
    3) I've met some great people!
    4) There are some very tempting bubbles in the bath!!

    I've been a bit busy this week writing reports and have barely been on the internet other than to check emails and use assessment data. So a few happy things for this week...
    1) I've done well over half my reports now!
    2) Had a lovely meal out with OH and friends last night.
    3) Junior church anniversary service went well this morning
    4) I stayed awake on the bus long enough to finish my book this week! (random I know but I've had problems keeping my eyes open on the way home!)
    5) Had a decent night's sleep last night.
    6) Made successful fairy cakes on Friday with my class (tasty even if they did all sink in the middle!)

    I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now! Head is trying to get into planning mode!

    Despite only having 4 days with children this week, and a training day, it's felt like a really long one! Didn't get a job I had an interview for so have sent off a load more applications and now have fingers crossed! Tomorrow will be another busy day of reports.

    Today's happy thoughts:

    1) A lovely day out with my mum shopping for wedding shoes (for my brother's wedding)
    2) I'm sat curled up watching Criminal Minds
    3) The sun is still shining and I've got all my washing dry outside today :)

    Whoops again I've been AWOL and busy with paper work and applying for jobs. but that's all done for the year now (just about anyway!) so the main positive things about the last few days...

    1) I've got a new job! Starting in September I will not be unemployed but working with a reception class in a school in bradford
    2) I've had a great 2 days watching the Tour in Yorkshire.
    3) this is the first evening in ages I haven't done any work for school or planning for interviews so I'm going to have a bath and curl up with a film!

    It's been a while again, partly because I've been doing something similar on faceb00k but I'm back with good things from the day...

    1)A trip to the baths for Aqua Zumba for the first time in a while. Need to swim more often.
    2)A lovely lunch with my SIL to be (healthy as well!)
    3)Mortgage in principle agreed so now we can buy a house...shame the one we liked has sold in the past week!
