Morning Louise
I hope you're ok today. I've been up a while, looking at your photos on website. They're really good, everyone is so happy. How many are in your class? I bet they were so excited about the easter holidays. Who is having cuddles and joe during the break?? My great nephew’s class has a teddy that everyone takes in turns to take home with them. We had him with us 2 years ago for a week when we all went to Barnsdale Lodge in Rutland. We went swimming most days but the first day we had to take ted with us !!! I can remember my niece having to take his photo sitting by the pool in his swimming trunks to prove he had come with us, it was quite comical. Happy memories.
Morning Karen
Sorry I didn’t get back yesterday, my hubby came in and closed all my stuff down without realising I had things still open, then I got doing washing etc.
I'm glad you got on ok at the docs and hope the tablets help you, did you get any sleep last night? I don’t blame you for not going to the interview, an hour is a long way to go. Wow, £2000, I didn’t realise they cost so much. Will you still go for it? The home carer job sounds good, and your Mum would be well chuffed at you going for it. Funnily enough there was an advert in our paper this week for a company called Claimar Care Group, I cut it out to phone them up for some more info. There were a few jobs I fancied this week, various types. One of them is for (don’t laugh) a trainee funeral arranger, 20 hrs per week, so I phoned up for an application form.
So you're off on hol as well for easter, I think I’ll be on my own here by the look of it. its good that everyone is getting away, a well deserved break for you all. I've never been to Norfolk, we had booked to go last year, the last week of June, but I'd already guessed we wouldn’t make it because Mum was coming with us to dorset in april, and she wasn’t well enough for that, so knew that the june hol wouldn’t happen. I never thought that she would leave us the last week of june though. She actually said to me while she was in the hospice ‘what a shame, I've spoilt your holiday haven’t I ‘ !!! how could she even think like that, its beyond me, bless her.
Morning Liz
How are you today after your scary driving lesson. I admire anyone who can drive round London, it must be quite a challenge, especially during rush hour.
Morning Marie
Hi again Louise
As I said, I usually get up early, once I'm awake I just can't lay there. My back is still hurting and its quite uncomfortable laying down, so better off up. The knee is ok now I think, thanks for asking. I'm sorry you're still not feeling so good, and like you say, maybe over the hols you will feel better, I hope so. It must be really strange to have some quiet time to yourself after being with all those chatty little ones. It did look cold on the photos. I knew I'd probably got the name wrong of Lawrie, sorry. I thought it was funny, I played it back 3 times to listen to him again, bless him. Kids make me laugh, especially when they don’t know you're listening to them, some of the things they come out with are so funny.
No, the docs job isn't my own surgery, I'd thought the same as you Louise, I'm not sure they would allow that but it would be great to get preferential treatment wouldn’t it, I could book myself in whenever I wanted to. Its not far from where I used to work, so only about 10 or 15 mins drive, although it’s the busiest part of this area traffic wise, but I'm looking forward to going. I haven’t heard from the other one yet, but decided that I couldn’t work there, I didn’t like the feel of the place.
I'm not sure about the freesias lasting outside, I've never had any outside before so I can't answer that one, sorry. I'm glad it’s a lovely day for you to go to take your flowers to Mum and Dad, it looks like the sun is trying its best here, so maybe get the lawn cut later. My Mum would like that. My husband cuts the grass here far more than he ever used to at our house. I think he feels guilty, and that Mum is watching so has to do it for her. I don’t know if theres any football or rugby on today, but he will be watching it if there is. He used to watch it with my Mum, they loved it.
