Wet thursday

 

I love snowglobes there's so much fun...This year i bought gift tags that are snowglobe type :o) ...As if i don't have enough already like...I have at least 3 rolls of stick on christmas labels and goodness knows how many packets...Had them for years and every year i can never find them so buy more <ggg> ...These snowglobe type ones are for special pressies though...We don't have any snow though we have pouring down rain instead...Am way behind this year as i have done NO christmas shopping at all...I do have a pressie for each of the kids but they are going to be from my mum...I usually end up buying something now and she pays me back...It's easier for her as console games or dvd's are alien to her...She's giving K a compact dvd player so she can plug it into tv in the lounge, they are allowed to she checked :o) ...So a nice small one she can carry with her instead of the huge one she got years ago when they were big.

My meeting this morning was non existant...Only one other person turned up so we didn't bother...It's disheartening when no-one seems interested :o(  ...I've booked the room for a date in january and hopefully some will actually come along...So i went and paid some bills (being the 1st) and checked out prices in some of the games shops...Went to the DSS as i have stuff i need sorted out so got an appointment first thing tomorrow...Hate that place it's always full of junkies :o( ...Hope it's not too bad tomorrow...Had a letter from G's school when i got home...It's from the learning support department about the arrangements for his exams...His prelims are right after the christmas holidays...He has to sign agreement and so do i...So i phoned the base and spoke to the deputy there...I'll sign my bit tonight and he can take it in tomorrow and they will talk over it with him :o) ...Hopefully once he realises he is going to get extra time, room on his own, someone to prompt him, use of his lappy for the english essay and his work transcribed he will feel more at ease...M was a right moody so n so this morning same as yesterday...All the upheaval of preparing for christmas at school gets to him...He is excited about the show and he does like practising for it but it throws his regular routine right out of the window...Both himand G aren't very good at coping with change and they need as much routine as possible in order to cope with life in general...Also this year M is doing so much in the show am not sure if he can cope with the pressure...He must do or the school wouldn't be getting him to do it all...It's called X factorate...He's a joker in Dr Who bit his class are doing...He's singing a solo (robbie of course LOL) for the X factor bit, the song i wrote about with some others AND accompanying the music teacher on the drums.

Oh did i remember to say last week that M passed his wheelchair test??? If i did i do apologise...It's part of his prefects dutys...He's not so bossy at home this year as he was last year when he was a prefect...Last year as he hadn't been one before he had to fill in a proper job application form...There was bits he had to tick if he felt he fitted the criteria eg: responsible...K was watching him at the time and said are you ticking all those boxes...M turned round and said 'yes of course' <bless> ...Then they had a job interview...I thought this was a really good way of teaching them a little bit about job application process...This year as he'd been one before he just carried on...Last january i saw his old headmaster and he asked how M was doing...I took great pleasure in politely informing him that M was doing sqa access courses and also he was prefect...Ok i was being a smug git about it but after the way they treated him as some thicko who wouldn't get anywhere, i let myself off <ggg> Am off to have a coffee and as you can hear i got my music to work...I am not going to apologise to stuart who doesn't like music on journals :o) ...The code i was sent, big thank yous sara, i eventually realised was aol.com and not aol.co.uk...Changed it and hey presto we have festive music :o) I only have one other festive song that is under 1mb so i can't play you fairytale of new york by the pogues & kirsty mccoll which i love...My favourite christmas hymn is 'oh little town of bethlehem' ...Am off for a coffee before the boys get home and all hell breaks loose LOL...Toodle pip tc xx
