It’s 25 days since the youngest keeled over. Seems it was just a faint but worrying nonetheless. We’ve told just to monitor it but will pop into school to let them know what happened.
The eldest has finished her NCS course apart from Sunday’s through September when she’s planning and carrying out an activity day in an Inner City Nursery. It’s left her wildly enthused about life, jobs and the future. Which is nice. To a point. She’s produced and distributed a pile of CV’s but doesn’t seem overly concerned about the lack of replies.
As yet she isn’t enthused about housework, cooking or shopping, mores the pity.
Her GCSE results came out today (16yo) and, yes, they were what she wanted. Tomorrow she’s going into the local college to sign up for a level 3 child care course (16-18) which will see her getting a job as a teaching assistant in two years time. She has a pile of paperwork to do before she goes in including police check forms and we will have to dig out her passport too.
Jo (14) is busy making a popular nail varnish website. She has a thousand followers and receives samples from an American company which she applies and posts pictures of. I’ve told her she should find a way to make it profitable as well as popular. Could be a good little earner.
Ashley is now taking Acetretin which is doing a great job of easing his Psoriasis. At its worst it was caked on his face.
Thankfully, much of this has gone now and he may be clear for his return to school in September.
Mum is a worry. She’s convinced her roof is leaking and affecting the electrics. In reality she hasn’t got used to the new Eco bulbs which flicker at first and are slow to get lighter. Also, her TV has gone wrong so many times we are convinced she’s pulling the wires out to get us to come visit.
Last week we were let down by an odd job man who said he’d clear our back yard. We got it all near the back gate and then he didn’t show! So now it looks like a scrap yard out there. Maybe he’ll turn up this week….
Only three days to work then I have a two week break around Ashley’s birthday, big 10, and Back To School.
What fun, eh?
