Hi all! I havent been on here for quite a while I see! I have been very busy trying to figure out what I am going to do. I have three weeks until my job ends and then nothing.... well I am going away for two weeks with little madam to visit Auntie L and then onto Cheltenham for a bit. But yeah as of the 24th I have no job... :-( I have also been busy looking after little madam because her cyst on her face keeps weeping :-( The doctor tells me that he doesnt think she is in pain with it but I know that she is. It's really frustrating and I find the whole situation really emotional and upsetting but I think little madam is coping brilliantly. I am so proud of her. We had the kids for the weekend, the next time they come down it will be for a week for Easter. I am very organised this year and have all their eggs ready as well as bunny masks etc ready for their Easter egg hunt, I even have little coloured baskets! I don't know when I will next have money so I have decided to make the most of my last pay cheque, I also bought DIY stuff to sort out little madam's bedroom as wel as the train tickets for the end of the month so I can go away for a bit and have a break from all the stress. This whole situation has put a massive strain on me and the other half but through all our bickering we always managed to have a cuddle and tell each other how much we love one another. I have had a really nice Mother's Day today, not the traditional day where I would have put my feet up and have a nice meal cooked for me. Instead I was up by 10am, got dressed and took a trip out to B&Q whilst the other half steamed off the old wall paper. I spent a good 20 minutes trying to find out if B&Q did curtains long enough in the width to find out that no they didn't! After that I went back home with paint, rollers, tape and wall paper etc... and then cooked a fabulous roast! Once the kids went home and little madam went to bed we made a start on the rubble in the garden but stopped when we realised just how big a job this is going to be :-( But yeah overall I am very happy with my beautiful card, box of choccies, lovely flowers and Michael McIntyre autobiography :D I have been reading a lot lately actually, I now make weekly trips up to the local library and constantly order in books that I want to read and go up again once I receive my email telling me that it's arrived :D I also get little madam lots of books to bring home to look at, she loves them :-) Once her room is complete I want to make her a little library of her own. We have now come up with our 'official' plan (lol) for upstairs... Little madam is to have her OWN room but her sister will sleep in her room when they are down. The bigger bedroom will be split into two rooms. At the end will be for the other half and I, and the 'box' room will be for little miss K and J to play in and have a desk and wardrobe so that they have a space of their own and little madam won't be able to wreck their stuff. We figured that since they aren't down permenantly it is not essential that they have to sleep in a seperate room.
