Last Night.....

Yesterday evening was Parents evening at the childrens school ~ and I am pleased to report that they both got really good reports. Lauren is doing great with her reading and writing and the teacher said that she is a little chatter box (wonder where she gets that from???) ~ and a pleasure to teach. Daniel is really improving his literacy skills, although his handwriting does need some work still ~ he is coming on really well and his teacher said that he has a wonderful sense of humour and has settled into his last year at Primary school really well.

I was very proud of them both and have promised them a treat at the weekend ~ for getting such good reports (not sure what it will be yet!!).

We were very late back ~ as usual these Parent and Teacher evenings never run to plan and we didn't get home until 7.20pm ~ after a visit to the local Fish and Chip shop for the children ~ where they had their favourite ~ fishcake and chips ~ and I had.........NOTHING!!! (damn diet!!).

I had lots of plans for yesterday evening and for once I actually felt that I achieved something!
Daniel has to have a shirt and school tie to wear with his uniform for Fridays visit to London ~ and I made sure that he had fresh trousers and shirt and his jumper was pressed ~ his shoes are all cleaned and I think he is ready to go ~ I have told him he wil have to have an early night tomorrow night ~ as the coach for London is leaving his school at 7.30am on Friday morning.

I managed to complete a 2 hour Food handling and hygiene course last night ~ on line ~ so I was pleased that I have got that under my belt! I should have the certificate in a few days which I can display in my kitchen with pride ha ha !!!

I have booked the other courses ~ child protection and another one that is relevant to the new government legislation that covers chidminders ~ called the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). I am going to tackle these 2 next week ~ as they are alot longer and will be more intensive ~ so I will spread them over a few evenings I think. My poor brain has been overworked this past week ~ but unfortunately it has to be done tee hee!!

Tonight I intend to do nothing ~ and I think I will have an evening sitting on the sofa (with my feet up ~ ha ha!), reading and catching up with the blogs that I usually follow ~ I haven't had a chance to check in with everyone recently ~ but I should catch up tonight!!

I have my weigh in later ~ so I will update you with any loss (or not!!) ~ either later on or tomorrow!
