Decisions, decisions, do I take the boat or the bike out??

Nope, I'm here in school, finishing off year end stuff and making sure all the budgets are in place for the new financial year.

But hey ho, that's me done and now I'm off to enjoy the remainder of the holidays, just over a week...

...bike or boat, bike or boat....

The eldest is still here as well. Despite the fact that I pay the rent on her place in Leeds where she lives at best 2 days a week.

At least the middle one has gone. but turns up when she wants a decent meal, borrow money, needs a sitter etc. My experience of kids is the older they get the more expensive they become

My eldest son fell in love, thought with his little head, and made me a grandmother last year. He lives with his partner and daughter about a mile from where I live.

My younger son went off to Newport Uni, fell in love, and now lives in Leek about three miles from his partners parents.

My daughter I did actually have to legally evict. A long, unpleasant story that I won't go into here, but it got to the stage where if she didn't leave things would become unbearable. Since she left we have actually got on much better, and having to stand on her own two feet has been the making of her. Sometimes they jump before they are pushed. Sometimes, for their own good and yours, you have to push.

Well Lucy took Sophie swimming today. Shame she's not available till next Wednesday.

Oh and Lou M, I hate you

kids are always ruddy off aint they? didnt seem that way when i was at skool.
