I went into work today and my Manager said she had made a mistake and couldn't offer me the hours on Thursday that she first thought. After some shuffling about we've agreed for me to work Friday 10am-1.30pm. It's not ideal as Andy finishes work at 12pm on a Friday and it would have been nice to have had some time together but hopefully we can review them and see how it goes.

Arrrrgggghhhh......
Just had a phone call from St Martins to say that Matt can't go to Alton Towers tomorrow cos he drew 'male genitalia' on the board and we lose our sodding money in the bargain!
I understand it's not a great thing for him to have done but who's not drawn something they shouldn't on the board over the years? I think it's a complete overreaction and I told her so (Mrs Carson).
Apparently the over-head projector was showing a picture of a man and a woman onto the white board and some of the kids decided to draw on the images which was fair enough giving the woman a moustache etc but Matthew decided to give her a willy!
I said it was a big thing for us to let him go as we couldn't really afford it being so close to our holiday and I'm not at all happy about the money just being wasted.
Honestly I could sodding scream - at Matt for being a prat but at the bloody school for being arseholes. They'd just been praising him and telling how amazing he was cos he played his guitar at someone's wake yesterday.
It goes from one extreme to another. Give me a break!!!!

Finally got my new hours at work!!
After weeks of waiting I finally got my new working hours. I applied to get them changed when Andy was first ill and it's taken this long for the hours to become available.
I'll be working Monday 9.15am-3.15pm, Thursday 11.30am-3pm and Saturday will be the same 2pm-6pm. It will suit family life much better.
The only slight fly in the ointment is the fact that Isobel will finish school at 3pm and the fact that I'll have to work bank holidays but hopefully Katherine or Mark's schedule might make it possible for one of them to collect Isobel and I'll just have to get organised and book some of the bank holidays as holiday.

Had a lovely weekend away
Andy and I had our first weekend (well overnight) away since we had the children!! We went to stay with my sister Jane and her partner Lyn. We had a great time.
Jane cooked a gorgeous meal for us on Saturday evening and even baked bread! Lyn did a gorgeous dessert out of the Asda brochure.
We had a very relaxing evening and a good nights sleep.
The next morning we had a cup of tea brought to us in bed and a bacon buttie. We went for a mooch around Arnold and bought some bits for the kids as we didn't like to go home empty handed.
Lyn treated us to lunch and it was the most amazing all you can eat chinese buffet. It was really delicious. Andy was impressed with the spare ribs, he said he was the best he'd ever tasted!
The kids had a fab time. On Saturday afternoon my parents took them to Foxton locks and they went on a boat trip! Then on the way home they stopped at the Lime Kilns pub for tea.
Mark came to stay overnight and they were all fine. They ordered pizza in even after having eaten out!
The next morning they all got up early, Katherine cooked scrambled eggs for everyone for breakfast and they all walked up to church as youth band were leading the service.
In the afternoon Mum took Katherine and Isobel to Bosworth show and Matthew and Mark stayed here playing guitar all afternoon.
We arrived home around 6pm after a well needed break together.

Had a good week
It's been a busy week but a good week. Andy has been great, he really seems to be getting there now. He's much more his old self which is great news.
I did 3 hours at JCC on Wednesday morning and I'm back to my normal shifts at work.
I've won a few bits and pieces off ebay for our holiday. It's sooo much cheaper to buy from there if it's good quality second hand stuff. We've also been selling some bits too to make some money for our holiday!
I can't believe that we are going away next week, I'm so excited! I know my Mum is excited too. I ordered the holiday shopping from Tesco online so that will be delivered when we arrive at our lodge on Saturday - can't wait!
