    Woo he got two medals! He got bronze for patterns and silver for sparring. His teacher watched the sparring and was unhappy Connor was not picked as winner as he won that, but cos he got a penalty never got picked. Truly shameful but he done amazing and so proud! He is off to school with his medals to show them :)!

    3 days to payday and no more to my mum and dad :D cannot wait!

    I did not spend all my money in Carlisle so today will be getting my friends we boys first birthday present and drop that off tonight. Only need to get my dad (Friday yikes! but amazon voucher so all good lol!) and my other friends we boy and sorted! I also still have money left from this months wages so can get final things in for communion :)

    Thats about it really. Hope all are well xxx

    Yay for pay rise (and we should get a smidge of an increase again due to tax code changes on the end of april wage)
