Catching up

Well, the last time I sat to write my Blog my lovely computer decided to crash on me…. After a good kicking it seems to be ok, so I thought I’d give it another go.

It’s been rather a while since I last blogged and much has happened in that time. My relationship with Robin has gone from strength to strength and we have settled into a comfortable routine. The summer holidays have been and gone, one child was late back to school as she developed a nasty ear infection the day before they were due to return and I've put stacks of weight on. I have decided to do something about the latter and have signed up for the Bradford Beep program to help with fitness and exercise.... should be interesting!

Robin is working away at the moment, so he is down near London during the week and then home with the girls and me at the weekend. It is a lot of driving and to be honest I worry about how he is coping with the isolation of being by yourself all the time during the week. I know I find it hard, but at least I can pick up the phone and chat with people or converse with the other mums at school

On a different track I’ve found an MA course that I like the look of at Huddersfield University and I’m really tempted. It is on Religion and Education In Contemporary Society and follows on really well from my degree with an idea of going into teaching at A level or above. The only problem is that it costs more than I have got at the moment. So I need to decide if I think I can scrape enough money together by January and do it a bit out of sync or to wait till next September which is a year away, but by then I should have the money saved and Robin might be working locally which would make the child care issues much easier – or it might be a different night every other fortnight rather than a Wednesday which is choir night as it stands. Decisions decisions… I’m hopeless at them and I hate making them.

Anyway, I’m off to savour my newly discovered pleasure – “Silent Witness” and put my feet up for a bit. Tomorrow is the first session in the beep plan – should be a laugh if nothing else!
