Hi folks,
So much has been happening, the build up to Christmas is insane as we all know.
So heres my update.
Work, well, its work, but the next few weeks are pretty horrific. We are closed for 2.5 weeks over Christmas which I love, and have planned a camping trip…..Christmas on the river, Brea and Cam are coming as well as our brother and sister in law and whoever else wants to rock up! I’m so looking forward to it, I need this break and we always have a wonderful time.
There is however, so much to organise before we leave and I always seem to procrastinate (out of sheer panic I’m sure!)
My youngest, Harry is starting high school next year, and the cost is phenomenal. Its a state school, and I cant quite believe what I have to pay. I am heading over there this morning to make arrangements for that so hopefully we can come to a mutual agreement as Dames work is still not solid but we are doing ok!
Christmas has always been a time for me to reflect on what is, what was and hopefully what will be. The years of no money, gambling escalating out of panic and worry, the barest of presents for the kids, and everyone else. What a terrible time it was.
Its a relief to know that my shopping is done, there is money away for our trip the bills will be paid and I can truly enjoy a relaxing holiday.
My last and absolute best news I have saved for last. As you know my daughter was married 2 years ago. She is now going to be a mother!!!!! I cant believe I’m going to be a Granny!!!!! I have been already buying things online like a crazy woman, I am so so so so so excited I can hardly contain myself. Her due date is 14th June, 2017. What a blessing!!!!! That baby is not going to know what hit it when it arrives, lol.
So, in ending, life is pretty good, Lots to look forward to, lots of reasons to keep my resolve, to stay strong and fight for this life that I am finally starting to truly enjoy.
I wish you all a happy holiday season.
Merry Christmas my friends.
Love K xxxxx
