We are now halfway through the year! Can you believe it? I know that I am going to sound old, but time really does speed up the older I get. June has been a lovely month and just when I was about to give up on summer, the sun came out. I don’t know about you, but I find that the sunshine really does lift my mood so I am feeling pretty good right now. Anyway, I digress! Here is[Read more]
Here is my news for the month of May 2019. It has been a quiet month, but I still have a bit of news to share! Weight loss I have managed to lose 9.5lbs this month so I am really pleased. My goal for the month was to lose 6lbs or more. I didn’t weigh in last week as my training and assessment clashed with my weight watcher meeting. Losing weight is never easy (in my experience anyway!) but I[Read more]

Sadly my blog is suffering with very minimal posting as I just can not fit everything in. I am enjoying my work placement though, which is good. It is reminding me why I decided to study social[Read more]
I know that I must sound like a broken record but September seems to have flown by! This month has been mega busy with everyone back at school, uni and work. The long lazy days of the summer holiday’s seem like a lifetime ago and our holiday in Spain last June is only now a distant memory! I do like the routine and structure that this time of year brings though and the months of October to December are my[Read more]
For us, August has mostly been a month of relaxing. FJ is now of the age where she is greatly in demand, so has spent a lot of time sleeping over at her friend’s houses and going on day trips with her grandad. When she has been at home we have mostly been watching movies, playing Minecraft and visiting family. I know that I say it all the time, but I just cannot believe how fast these summer holidays have[Read more]

I have also had my last student social work placement confirmed which I am very excited about. I will be starting in September and if all goes to plan I[Read more]
