God I'm slacking, but I am genuinly busy!

Just a quick blog to say sorry again for not updating for ages. Caiden was 1 on the 20th and we had a few people here for a little party. I've put a picture of him on after blowing out his bday cake candles. I'm still working at the same school, for my sins! Very tough and hard work, but good experience. I will try to update more often and take some more pictures.

Sorry blog fans

Just a very quick post to say big sorry to those who check the blog and have seen nothing for ages. two things really. Firstly for those who don't know I have a job! I'm teaching full time at a 'lovely' school in Abbey Hulton in Stoke. Those of you who know Abbey Hulton will know why the lovely is in inverted commas! Also we have computer issues so we're only online via Rob's laptop which my camera is not installed on so bit of a pain for uploading pictures. Anyway, hope you're all well and I'll try to get some blogging done in the hols.

Just News Again

Well after 5 days of my new full time job in Abbey Hulton I'm off for the rest of this week as Caiden is still not better and has been advised to stay away from nursery for the week. He's still got an awful cough and another cold on top. He'll hopefully be feeling better soon with some days at home. I've put a picture on of half a plate of the Tunisian meal from yesterday. It was an egg based beef and bean pie kind of thing with spicy parsnips. Very yummy actually. We forgot to take a picture until half way through.

Quickie Bloggie

Just a very quick update. My teaching post is a bit pants as the school is poo and the kids are bloody awful, and that's being kind. Caiden's not doing brilliantly so far full time at nursery. Getting quite weepy and not settling, but I'm sure he'll be fine after a week or so. Landy is back in the drive now and the posh VW suv has gone back. I've put a picture on today of Caiden before his first day at nursery with his Balamory bag (Ebay bargain) and one of my first Mother's Day card with Caiden's hand prints that he's made at nursery. Last day of the week at school tomorrow thank God. Can't wait for the weekend.

Things on the up, I hope!

I've put a picture on of Rob with the Landy as it was being fixed at the Land Rover garage in Llanfair. The guy here has said the limited damage will cost about £600 to repair, the insurance company said £3600! Slight difference. He also said though that he was sure that no one had even attempted to open the bonnet so their quote was based on no evidence. We'll hopefully have it back next week some time, all mended and back on the drive.
Caiden is feeling much better after his cold and throat infection. Finally, I've been offered a long term supply teaching post in Stoke. It's not at a very good school and is year one but still, should be a good experience. Will hopefully start on Tuesday depending on Caiden's nursery place being sorted. Had a good weekend in Wales despite the poo weather. We'll hopefully be popping up there for Matthew's birthday in early March too.

Bits and Bobs

Still no end to Landy situation so will update on that when I know more. Caiden's been poorly again with more tonsillitis, he ended up seeing a paediatrician yesterday and has full strength penicillin, which is already working. I've put two pictures up today, one of Suzy in the cabinet drawer and one of our Mauritius meal of chicken with mint, ginger and various other bits, a Mauritian salad and some rice. We're mid way through a house re-wire, hence the mess in the Suzy picture, but its going well and should be done by Friday hopefully.
