Where does the time go??

Well, another long time in between posts!
I am struggling to remember what has happened in the past couple of weeks, apart from being ill :-(, according to the practice nurse on the phone i had a viral infection.......wasn't she good diagnosing that over the phone! needless to say they couldn't give me anything for it, so I have been dosing up on co-codomal, ibuprofen and cough lintcus!, but the cough is still persisting two weeks later! :-(
Well we had the car MOT'd and after finding that the advisory notice was as long as the A4 sheet of paper we decided to sell and buy something smaller, now with 4 and sometimes 6 children here that would seem a foolish thing to do, get rid of a 7 seater and purchase a 5 seater.......but i think that i can count on one hand the number of times that the 7 seater has been full over the last year, so put that with the cost of petrol, insurance and road tax for such a big car we sold it and bought a little 5 door Fiesta, nicknamed Florence :-) - she is a zippy little thing and comes with a cd player...woo hoo! feels like a luxury...lol

Over the half term, i took the boys and step daughter to a soft play centre and met an old work colleague with her 3 girls, had lunch,chat and the kids played - nice afternoon :-)

I was supposed to be going to the cinema with a friend from our HE days and then back to their house for some yummy food -which is what we always get when we go there! - if i was married to the man i would weigh at least 20 stone....it is soo good, anyways, this was suppposed to happen on the Wednesday and i sold the car on the Tuesday, so had to go car hunting instead, though the youngest went to a friends for a sleepover and eldest boy went to the said friends and cinema...etc and had a great time.

Went to Stockport to return step daughter and met my sister there, her youngest and step daughter are the same age and love each other :-), we went to the hat museum and they had a great time dressing up with all the clothes...just wished i had taken my camera, then i would have had something good to put on here, i will remember it in future....i will remember it future....note to self!, then we went for a lovely chinese banquet ...yum ...yum.

Had a late night on Saturday..went to see some friends in Morecambe and stayed a little longer than was planned, didn't get home till 545am!!!! i felt like a teenager again...lol, though the roads from Morecambe to home are very quiet at the time of the morning...it was a lovely fast drive :-)

Well it was back to work yesterday and doesnt even seem like i have been away...lol

i am sooo far behind on my Spanish course, with being ill and unmotivated!, i have an assignment due in on Monday, thankfully my tutor has given me a weeks grace, but i have to admit that i am lacking inspiration.....i really wish i knew how to conjugate verbs properly...! also i seem to slip into French so easily it's annoying!

well that's it for now
