Trials and Tribulations Of A Single Mum

I cannot believe it! After 5 years of constant phonecalls and letters and general pestering I have finally been given a flat in my hometown! I have been on the list for a house for so long I thought I had no chance but this week I had the most amazing letter offering me a two bedroom flat 5 minutes walk away from my dad and my brothers! I am sooooooo excited - yay!
Only problem is I have to now move 250 miles away! So very soon I will no longer be in the North but back in my hometown in the South! Oh normality!!!!!!! So far I have been given an estimatated move date of the end of June, beginning of July - the reason for such a vague date?? Well its brand spanking new - OMG! I am not only moving but moving to a brand new flat!! It just gets better!
Please excuse me while I run around my living room screaming with excitement! (Hmm better not do it too long else my neighbours will ring the men in white coats!)

Once I've calmed down I will post a bit more!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive been trying to work out why I decided to create a blog and apart from my friends saying Id be good at it and needing somewhere to post my thoughts (annonomously) so that they are not circling in my head and driving me insane I really couldnt come up with any explanations...I seem to read other peoples and have realised they all seem so much more interesting than mine so I apologise now to all of you that I have bored to death, then again why am I apologising? After all if I've bored you to death then you wont be reading this will you!?

After the last couple of days of amazing weather I am starting to get a bit of colour on my pasty skin, but I need much much more yet! I have just been sat in my garden for half an hour but its turned cooler and although not cold its not warm enough to sit in at the moment Why is it that I have spent the last few days tidying and weeding the garden to get it to look nice and now I dont want to sit out there!? I really must learn to prioritise - tan first, work later Well a girls gotta have her pleasures in life hasnt she after all they are few and far between!

Sorry I've not updated this for a while, things have taken a while to get back to normal since my stay in Hotel NHS. Im Ok during the day but by about 7pm my back hurts and the painkillers the hospital have given me knock me out, so much so that the other night I awoke at 1am to find myself on the sofa and freezing cold! And that did my back the world of good I can tell you - NOT!
Thank goodness the weather is improving, I have been in the garden starting to sort things out (some friends of mine got me started and gave me the inspiration - thanks guys - you know who you are!) - I cant wait until I get a day where I can just sit out and relax - I love being in the sunshine it lifts my whole spirit and I seem to get so much more done, if I didnt know better I'd seriously think I have a case of S.A.D. but I know I just have lazyitis which unfortunatly there is no treatment for...Its just so nice even to be indoors with all the windows and doors open, the washing on the line and all the fresh air flowing through, I'll enjoy it while I can because it wont be long until my hayfever kicks in and Im wanting to close them all! I have to admit I am a little concerned with just how much I love line dried washing -so much so that I seem to be looking for laundry just so that I can hang it out and dry it! Weird I know but then I never have been normal in any sense or shape.

I am looking forward to this Bank Holiday as it will be the first once since I have given up working and I shall be able to really relax and ejoy some quality time with my son instead of having to view it as an opportunity to get things done that don't normally get done becuase of work commitments. Fingers crossed the weather stays good - if not we have a Playstation and some goodies that will no doubt keep my son engrossed and me wishing I knew where all the buttons were on the control without having to look down at it every 5 seconds and invariably failing/losing the game I am playing!
