Disappointed that for the 3rd year running the staff at child 1s care home haven't bothered with me for Mothers Day or my birthday and Christmas has been just a tin of biscuits. I rarely get a card. They go all out for Peter though. I guess being her step mum for 24 years counts for nothing in their eyes.
I decided to rearrange the loft rooms. They are full sized rooms we converted when we had 5 kids living at home. I was using the larger room for my crafting, but the smaller room was so full that I was finding it difficult to sort through what we had, so I've swopped the use of the rooms around and can now access suitcases, Christmas decorations and camping gear with ease and I've enough room, with a table to use, to finish sorting through my dads stamps and go through all the kids stuff and things left over from the kitchen. My new crafting room is also better organised and I can access everything with ease.
I've had an issue with a teacher at work who has taken great offence and has insinuated that I lack training and knowledge to be in a 6th form lesson, it's all resolved now but the audacity of the woman to corner me was unfair. I haven't taken offence, she has no idea about my background and experiences and I have nothing to prove to her or to the senior staff who have backed me.
78 Sunday Early morning walk with Bob to the coffee shop, a food shop, then home to do some sewing, put several loads of washing on, bath the dog, iron, bake some cakes and watch TV. Phone call with child 3 in Australia to plan our trip there this summer.
The hills are such a fantastic backdrop
79 Monday Home from work, popped to the supermarket to get tea, afternoon and evening spent in front of the TV, bath and bed by 9pm.
Hmmmmmm
80 Tuesday Home from work and afternoon/evening spent in the loft rooms, swopping the storage room and my craft room round. I've moved my craft/sewing etc into the smaller room so I can actually use the larger room to sort through things and have space to store all my material and sewing machines.
Can't wait till we can actually use this room.
81 Wednesday Peter brought Bob to work at 3pm, then went home. Bob and I walked into town, had a coffee then home. More time spent rearranging the loft.

84 Saturday Popped into Ross-on-Wye for a wander and a coffee. Peter continued in the garden in the afternoon with the patio he's been working on all week. I watched some TV, walked the dog and wrote some letters.
