My life

Today we went to the steamer for a Chinese followed by half a lager shandy. Then we went to the cinema and saw limitless a very good film about a man who is given a pill that can access and use all of his brain and what you do with it the sky is the limit. It also has consequences as taking accesive amounts can kill you. After that came home and played csi on my ps3 then watched tv. This week is parenting week and I have been listening to the radio today it was about divorce and how it can damage your children how to avoid it. Being married myself with 3 children even though 2 of them are grown up and Robert my eldest is about to leave home shortly to start a new life in another country. We all have our ups and downs in life and being a parent is far from easy but as long as you love your children and let them know that they are loved unconditional love and support them no matter what they do in life.

Dentist

Had a dentist appointment today for both me and Joe when we got their I had to fill out a form she said it was for nhs after the treatment I did not have to pay yes free treatment no more costly dentist bills. Poor Joe has to have braces. Now watching one born every minute. Parenting week listening to the radio on discussion on what it is like to be a parent

My life

Yesterday i got up early and made a cake from my Jamie Oliver cook book although I did make a couple of alteration no almond and no poppy seed lemon drizzle cake I brought a baking set rescenly silicon cake moulds found it quite odd as they are very floppy. And quite difficult to remove I used 3 plates and a cooling rack just to get the cake out of the cake mould. Taking it out of the oven I thought I was going to drop it, and the cake stuck to the bottom. Then I had to heat sugar and lemon in a frying pan then prick holes in the cake and pour the syrup over the cake leave to cool then ice the cake with lemon icing taste really nice and moist.after that I spent the afternoon listening to adele what an amazing singer. This morning went to my mums for lunch then came back played on ps3 for a while and made sure Joe did his homework then had pasta and cheese cake for dinner. Now listening to top 40 on radio me and Joe have dentist appointment tomorrow not keen.

My life

Had quite a good day today got up early and went to town did some shopping brought new shoes for work. Brought my mum a really nice money pot for mothers day as she puts her money in a jar, brought a nice picture frame for lees 21st. Had McDonalds went round travel agent picked up some brosures and a new game, came home had pizza. Joe came home from school and said he wanted to change schools said said other kids are picking on him and calling him names tried to to explain that he can't just swap schools their is nothing wrong with the school I've spoken to his teacher.

My life

Oh dear Joe is going to be in so much trouble when he get home, the time is 6pm and he has not come home from school. The school are having a disco this evening and he has been told not to go as he played truant last week, I bet he has gone to his friends their will be trouble when he get home silly boy because he thinks he can do what ever he want consequences. His class is going to thorp park soon you can bet he won't be going.

My life

This morning had to go to the school and talk to joes teacher as he is struggling a bit the weather has been quite warm. Then had to go down to the dump clearing out the loft of unwanted junk went to Morrison played virtual tennis on ps3 now watching ER on sky

Listen to the radio

Sitting here listening to the radio, Tony Blackburn pick of the pops the year 1972 god it takes you back to your youth sweet, David Cassidy, slade, even Gilbert osulivan, it really does take you back to your youth because I have been converted from a radio 1 listener to radio 2 which play a wider range of music. I was a big David Cassidy fan posters on the wall if only you could turn back the clock, just turn on the radio Saturday afternoons and imagine that you are back in the 1970s it's funny how music can do that to you. Then you are back to present day sitting on that sofa. In your dull and uninteresting life, just waiting for the inevitable.

Flying the nest

Reading an article in the newspaper the other day about mothers having to say goodbye as their children leave home to start their new lives which reminded me of my own child who is moving to holland in may. I have been trying not to think about it even though I know it will be here very soon because he is moving so far away, iknow that I still have the Internet facebook skype and ping chat but it is still not the same knowing he is only upstairs and not thousands of miles away. Still I have plenty of tissues ready and tub of ice cream comfort food what would we do with out it.

Recycling

We now have been given new bins for our recycling now we are forced to recycle, spending all morning having to go through all the bins and separate into the three bin. Why do we have to because of saving the planet for the future in millions of years when we are not even going to be here. Now Melvyn and the kids keep asking me what goes in each bin it is starting to be annoying because we now have two bin in our kitchen one for food one for plastic how difficult is that. I thought this was quite a good idea and it save having to keep going out side every time you need to keep going outside to the dustbins why can't we just do what we did before and put all rubbish in one bin.

Kids behaving badly

Yesterday I went to the job fair with my son just to look around, while iwas their I bumped into 2 people from work not a good sign when three people from the same place all want to leave. My tickets for Bon jovi arrived this morning this morning I got a text message from joes school saying he did not register, anyway 5. 40 Joe late yet again asked him if he went to school he said no. Joe and his friend went down the park, while they were down the park they were spotted by two community cops and took them to school. Joe said his teacher had a talk with them, both and he has promised not to do it again. So he had his dinner had a bath then sent to bed. He told me they went to the park after school because they were scared to go home of getting into trouble. Kids will be kids boys will be boys.

My life

I recently had a bit of a crisis my last period was January I missed my last period so a couple of days go I started bleed,as I was sterilised about 7years ago I thought there was no way I could be pregnant even so I still did a test and the test was negative what a relief. I know it is probably due to my age but I still needed to put my mind at rest even the doctors say it's impossible to get pregnant once you have been sterilised but you do here stories of women falling pregnant years later. Today I went training all day diet and nutrition plus challenging behaviour, then having a test at the end brain work. Now at home listening to radio.

My life

It was my wedding anniversary yesterday married 17 years. We went to the cinema and saw I am number 4 quite a good film it made me jump in parts their are some monsters in it but still enjoyed the movie.

Going to work in a couple of hours, a break for all this tension.
