continuing admin

The last few days have been busy, I've accpeted the offer from Greenwich, there seems to be loads of admin. and not all for my course. I've applied for a student loan and completed Beth's EMA,grr they calculate that on the previous year's income so no chance of more money there then, still got to do child tax, sort out money and credit cards etc etc. so little time, so much to do, had a good weekend, Sat had a day with Ann & Paul and fish & chip lunch, scrummy. went swimming yesterday gr8, Aidan with Beth today hope they get on OK and no time for stitch.... and work is busy too, loads of emails to deal with and so can't get the archiving done moan moan, but on the plus side only 8 more days here, yipee!

i did it!


hooray, I've been offered 2 PGCE places in 24 hours, now I have a dilemma and I know the next year will be difficult. what ever I decide but just may be I'll get to be a textile teacher 1 day, lol, so its either textiles and RM at Greenwich which is easier to get to or textiles and food at UWE, decisions, decisions.
take a look at Aidan having a great time playing with the hose yesterday, as you can see he got soaked, how lovely to be so carefree when its really hot!

here we go again



I'm still trying to get onto a PGCE course, my boss is gloomy about the prospect, but i am ever the optimist and if that does not work then it's carry on as i am for 1 year and re-apply next year and get more expereince in schools meanwhile and do level 3. i've just had lunch with a friend from asru and it was good to catch up, I've ticked her off my list and will contact some more friends tomorrow. i attach a photo of my kids and a dalek - Aidan was really scared, it was real to him as is all Dr Who and also a photo of Beth with one of the kittens being hand reared, need to think of some names that my Dad will approve of!
