Decided a blog was easier than writing individually!

As many of you know I have been very close to my cousin Louise since living in Cardiff (4 years), seeing her at least once a week - well, she has now moved to start a fresh life for her and the kids near retford - 3 hours away on a good day  so I currently feel like part of my life is missing.

I am trying to be positive - she's doing the right thing and I can go and visit - in fact I am in a couple of weeks - although I know I won't be able to keep going up due to the cost and also having to visit other people too! The positive is there's less distractions in Cardiff so Ben and I can finally spend some more time together (hopefully).

I did my pilates theory exam on Friday and had my Viva (aural exam) on my coursework - should find out in a few weeks about the coursework, but not sure about the exam as it goes off to be marked externally. Now I only have my video to do next Sunday evening. So long as it's ok it will get sent off and all I'll  have to do is wait for the results to come in - no more courses for me for a while - I have very little leave from work not allocated due to my 2 weeks in Cyprus in Oct and then 10 days in Cornwall for Xmas. So I am much happier to know the end is in sight - it was harder/more work than I'd realised - but also very good, enjoyable and I've got to know one of my class very well and have really seen a difference in her posture in the few weeks I've taught her!

So it's been an emotional time of late - Gareth is settling into Cornwall life ok, although I'm not sure about work - he's definitely enjoying his leisure time!!!!

Mum and Dad are back this week - no crocs for me, but hopefully some origins smellies as they are much cheaper over there! I'll have to keep an eye out for those Sea Blue Baya (kids) and now I have to wait for the kids to get the new mint and electric blue too - adults are on Sweetfeetshoes with 15% off!

Chimney is finally being taken down this week! so we can then dry the loft out and put boards down to store more stuff up there!

Really don't have much other news......
