Update

Ok so i havent been the best blogger for posting or visiting …..but think i will just give a little update. So whats changed ? Not a lot. But ive had a much better year so far than the last couple.

This year for the first time ever i left my kids for a weekend , yes a whole weekend(and they survived without me!) and i went to northern ireland with 20 girls i dont know (from a forum i go on) and we had a great time. Absolutely brilliant time actually!

The picture in my header is from my recent trip and is of Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge …..which i crossed and although the scenery was stunning i dont know why people are so scared of crossing this bridge. The weather forecast was bad …luckily the weather people got it totally wrong and it was clear enough to see scotland.We also went to the giants causeway andi was surprised by how small it was. Still a lovely place to be.

Other things ,my youngest son has got his statement of educational needs(will find link later) and despite being told we wouldnt get it and that we wold have to appeal we applied ….filed lots of reports ….and hey presto my son will get 18 hours of help. I am happyand relieved that that is one less thing to worry about.  My older son is back in mainstream school and is doing better than expected but we still have many hurdles to cross such as applying for a statement for him  and then in september looking at secondary schools.

The New house  is just brilliant and the kids have settled in brilliantly….am now hoping and praying that we can get to stay here for a while. My boys attend a special needs swimming club and have both just reached level 2 and level 4 in swimming so im very proud of them.

So far this year we have  been out loads ,Howlettes zoo, Whipsnade zoo, Brighton, Ramsgate, Herne bay, and ive even managed the cinema with all the kids. I dont know  if its just the change of house but life seems better…so much better. Even though my health isnt great and there are still plenty of things to worry about ….maybe its just knowing i can get into a bed every night. Well if anyone stops by hope i havent bored you too much.

Im not going to promise to blog regular but who knows i might…… and there will be NO crusading about housing.
