I thought it was about time I sat down and typed something - even Ian has been moaning at me. I have to say blogging is so low on my list of things to do of an evening.

So, where to begin...
Work is good - I am actually enjoying it at the moment which is great. On Friday a colleague and I had to take one of the children we support to the local hospital for a CAT scan and a MRI scan - 'why' is too long a story - needless to say she was fantastic. When we went into the CAT scan the radiographer asked Ellie (name changed) if "Joanne should have a go to see what it's like". Well thanks a bloody lot. I couldn't very well say no thanks. So on the bed I lay, smiling on the outside, telling Ellie what fun it was when all I could really think was O.M.G I don't like this. Ellie thought it was great that I was on it. Then it was her turn. A little unsure at first but was a little star and stayed very still clinging hold of my hand through out the whole thing.

The kids are fine - Heather is very nicely developing her independence and the use of the word NO :) Matthew is great, for the last week he has had to decorate and look after a hard boiled egg. The idea being take it to school and home every day and get people to sponsor you. There was a competition at the end of the week to see who has survived and for the best decorated. Matthew won ! He got an Easter egg as his prize and hie egg has been entered into the final.

We went into Liverpool on Saturday hunting for a suit for Matthew's holy communion. I think we went into every clothes shop in Liverpool and unless we wont to pay the earth for something that will be worn for a couple of hours we had no luck. We got a rather nice shirt and waist coat. Still hunting for a suit although I may just get a pair of pants.

I finished work on Friday for two weeks, Matthew is still in until Wednesday.
Things are going pretty well at the moment I have managed at long last to make every single speck of my bathroom go 'ding' as you walk in, plus our bedroom has been de cluttered and we have a floor now so I have been a busy bee lately. On Saturday we ordered a new dining table and chairs so that should be with us the next few days.

My sister who looks after Heather for us whilst I am in work told me within the next few months she will no longer will be looking after Heather. Her long term boyfriend is moving in with her and she is going to get a job. I am pissed off but equally wish them both good luck.
