Moving on

Cherryfudge

A quiet afternoon! I was up till about one preparing stuff for the kids this morning, but for the first time only one child came! I think a lot are already away. Poor lad, stuck with three adults, and we got through the planned activities quickly. I told the other helpers they could go if they wanted, but they didn't want to interrupt the service by going back in so they watched online and I played football with the little lad!

DN had the option of what to do with the morning so she stayed in the service with DH and he thinks she quite enjoyed it. She's just back from a faith-based creative arts camp so it's not a new experience for her. We also gave her some cash to cover her train fare as she's not yet got a job and we have.

DH had dinner nearly ready so we ate before my niece went to catch her train. It's been good to get to know her a bit better as she's generally with her parents. We were tired by the time we'd dropped her off: I had a snooze for an hour and as it's been raining again, I've spent the rest of the day indoors.

We did the vegan tikka again so there's quite a bit left for weekdays meals: there's also a lot of other food needing to be eaten despite having given DN the gluten-free things we'd bought for her.

The dishwasher has stopped working, or at least has stopped moving through the programmes, so one of us needs to investigate if it can be repaired. We ran the washing machine to check if the problem was in the (shared) water supply, so there's a load of laundry on the airer.

Time to map out the week:
Monday - afternoon: meeting with others from the course for peer support. Later - work
Tuesday - child care
Wednesday - morning: meeting with client at Wednesday job. Afternoon: both of us church cleaning. Later - work.
Thursday - not sure but possibly Toddler group (last of term). Later - work.
Friday - am - cleaning at church if not already done. Afternoon: meeting with mentor. Later - work.
Saturday - no plans, possibly car boot sale.
Sunday - morning: children's session.

Looking at that, there's not a proper slot to prepare for mentoring or for the kids' session on Sunday. This evening I'm doing more planning for the year ahead for the kids' group. I'll fit it in somewhere!
