Hi Everyone,
Huge apologies for not posting for so long. Life has been absolutely manic and I have had no time for myself at all.
I started my new job in Social Services two weeks ago. We look after all the children in care as well as those going for fostering and adoption. Its a really busy office and I still have soooo much to learn but I'm really enjoying it. It can be very hard at times especially when you read about some of the things that have happened to these kids but I hopefully make a difference and help in some way.
Working full-time as well is taking some getting used to. I still have to remind myself that I don't work Saturdays anymore. I'm also having to do a lot more to keep on top of everything. I can't let the washing and ironing build up and I try to get the ironing done at the weekend for the week because I really don't want to be doing it through the week. However, when Friday comes round I tend to find that I'm absolutely shattered and can't wait til Sunday when I can have a huge sleep in. On a Saturday I make sure I get up with Trace at 4.45am to see her off to work and then start tackling the housework so when she comes home at two we can spend the weekend together without being bogged down with housework.
We also have a new addition to our family (photos to follow). Her name is Tink and shes a lovely little black in white kitten. A friend that my Mother-in-law works with got her but her dog did not like her at all so my MIL contacted us to see if we would like her. We said no because with the new job I was starting I wasn't sure it would be fair and we also weren't sure that Utah would get on with her but then she sent through a picture on her phone and we just could resist. We introduced Utah and Tink to see if they would get on and after a little bit of upset in the beginning they now play together and get on quite well. Utah still likes her own space sometimes though but she'll let Tink know when she's had enough ~ usually with a tap on the head! LOL
Nevertheless, I'm hoping to get some crafty time tomorrow if I get all the housework done today. I've really missed my crafty time and I've got a few things on my to-do list. I'll post tomorrow as to how I got on and include any pictures to things I've made. In the meantime, have a nice weekend all. Take care. x x
