clever boy Zak!!

Zak started his swimmng lessons here in Rugby in September. When he first started going, he would hardly leave the steps, and if he did he had to be holding onto the rail. Well today he gained his 'Octopus2' swimming badge and did really well at swimming with no swimming aids- he is going to try for his 5 meters on Thursday when he swims with School. I am so proud of him, and thankful for such a lovely swimming teacher.

Ive got a busy time leading upto Easter. Two big Easter assemblies for primary schools in Church, planning for a new lunch time Club we are going to do in a primary school, rotas to organise etc etc. Lets hope we dont get ill and I can be part of it all (not like Christmas when we missed everything from being ill!!)

Maisey gets her free Nursery places after Easter (2 1/2 hours a day) so she will be going a lot more, we will continue to pay what we pay now but with the free hours she will be there a lot more. At the moment she is there two days from 8.30 - 12.45. After Easter she will be doing two days 8.30-3.15. And two days 1 - 3.15. I have mixed feelings about it. At the moment Maisey comes into the office with me when I am working and she is not at Nursery, but its becoming hard to work with her around now, so really I have to make use of the more free hours we will get. But then I think is she going into Nursery too much and I feel a bit guilty about her being there for so many hours, especially as Zak didnt go to Nursery until his pre-school year. Then I think its not fair on Zak as Maisey might achieve quicker than Zak as she will have been in stuff for longer. Oh well ho hum!!

I have come out in these horrible bumps all over my face, neck, one ear and other random bits on my body. The only thing I can think of is that I used a bit of a free sample of Boots 'repair and protect' cream and that has done it. It's the only thing I have used differently. Good job I didnt buy a huge pot of it as it is expensive. Its horrid though all itchy and Jon says my skin looks like I had really bad acne as a teenager. Its horrid, when I wash my face its just covered in bumps!!! Hoping it will go soon, it came on last night. I have been taking antihistamines to calm the itchyness down.

Right I think 24 is nearly downloaded so Jon and I are going to sit down and watch the latest episode.

Take care
