Round Up

I've fallen a bit behind but as I am still determined to try and keep blogging regularly this year, I am doing a round up.

The Easter holidays were absolutely lovely. For the last 7 years I haven't paid any attention to the school holidays but of course now I am back at school (college really) I have no choice! We didn't really "do" much, lovely walks at the Lakes, the woods, around the village, fimo-ing Easter stuff, a visit to Merry and the girls which was just lovely, very late nights sat in my bed cuddled up watching DVDs, lots of pottering around and baking and my birthday and that was about it. But it really was lovely just to spend time with my boy again. I had finished all my assignments long before the end of term so I had absolutely no work to do, meaning it really was just time for us.

I've been back at college for two weeks now, with three more weeks until half term and then four weeks after that until it is all over. I cannot wait to be finished. I am so far ahead with my work that I only have  three assignments to do altogether whilst everyone else has about 6 or so to do. There is one maths exam left and two more pieces of maths coursework but I'm not worried about those anymore.

Last week I looked after my friend's two year for five days and it was lovely. I had forgotten how "physical" looking after little ones is though! All the lifting on and off the toilet, lifting in to and out of the bath, in to and out of his cot etc etc! Charlie absolutely loved it, predictably so.

My back has "gone" again, so I am taking most of this next week off and going in to see the GP to try and get referred for another xray or MRI to see if there has been any more degeneration in my spine as it has been 7 years since the last one I think and I haven't had a flare up like this for a very long time.
