Sit tight, this could take some time...
Summer was a bit poop. We had practically no money, so couldn't take our kids on days out. But they didn't really mind, they went swimming lots, and had a weeks worth of free lessons, which has really boosted their confidence in the water.
I stopped working for Alan doing the news-writing, but have started working for a website called Zemandi.com. They essentially e-mail me articles to write on different subjects. So far, I have written about books, cosmetics and perfumes...and they're only what I can remember off the top of my head. Hehe. The pay isn't too bad. At the minute, I am earning $1.25 each article. As I write for them longer, the pay will gradually increase, capping at $15 per article.
Shannon is now 7, and Katelyn is now 5! We took them to Build A Bear in Liverpool One on the 25th August for a Birthday party. We invited Lindsey along with Ellie and Libby. It was a really good day. All 6 kids got a teddy with lots of ribbons. Shannon and Katelyn have got a special bear which they have to share, everyone else wrote a Birthday message on this bear for the girls.
Katelyns Birthday was on Bank Holiday Monday, so Anne-Marie and Cherrie brought their kids round for a tea party. Pity Dave and Cherrie had to leave early, Col got making some rather tasty cocktails. Yum, yum,yum. Me and Anne-Marie, rather drunk had a play on our trampoline outside in the dark! Was hilarious!!
Kids have returned to school. Rumours went around that Monksdown wouldn't be open until October sometime, luckily they were only rumours!
My lovely Big Col has had a number of job interviews, and is still waiting for an actual job offer. Hopefully, he'll be offered the job with HP, working for the MOD! Think this is the job he'd far prefer..even if he can't tell anyone about the work.
Well, Halloween next...
