You've Started School

-

Lilly,

   I don't quite know what to say apart from I miss you. You have started your new adventure as a school child and I couldn't be more proud of you. I have seriously felt lost these past couple of days and the days seem to have dragged so badly for me. 

   Your first day was yesterday and you seemed to do so well, you made friends, smiled when you came out and even ate some of the school dinner that you were given (cheesy potato hotpot). You looked so smart in you uniform but it's still only a 3-4 size jumper (so tiny).

  Your teacher is Mrs Goodchild and she seems so nice, you said you liked her which has made me happy. Your teaching assistant is Miss Hardcastle, she is lovely and has been so helpful already, I just hope no-one makes you cry or hurts you.

   I have so many anxious feelings right now and even more so yesterday but I know in the back of my mind I shouldn't as I know you have been ready for this move for so long. You love reading and writing and are even slowly getting into your numbers.

   I just worry whether you will actually eat lunch, whether you will ask to go to the toilet, whether you will be able to change from you uniform to your PE kit easily, whether you will be kind or behave and weather you will miss me and Daddy.

  Good luck my girl, you make us so proud and I just hope you have a great time in your first year. 

      Mummy and Daddy. X

    Aww, what a sweet note to Lilly. I always imagine how worrying it must be for a mother to see their child going to school for the first time, such a change for both parent and child. Over time she will definitely find her footing and flourish in school and you'll have no worries x

    My son also started school this year, and so far he has lost a jumper, eaten his glasses and ruined every item of clothing in the space of a week! He loves it though, so that's all that matters! :)

    It must be so nerve-wracking when your children start school. I hope Lilly enjoys her first year!

    Oh bless her, she looks so tiny in her uniform. It's so hard to let go of them when they start school, she will love it though.

    Ahh I'm glad she has settled in well. I would feel lost too without the little man by my side

    What a beautiful note to Lilly :) Is she still enjoying it? My youngest started reception a few weeks and he absolutely hates it. He screams none stop all night because he doesn't want to go. It breaks my heart.

BHP Show 2016 • Lydden Hill

-

The last time I visited the BHP show I was pregnant with Lil's and it was only a one day event. This year I got to take my baby back to see it for herself and enjoy two days there instead, including a COLD night of camping.  The BHP show is (I believe) a yearly event which takes place at Lydden Hill Race Circuit. This is about 1 hour and a half drive from our house so not too far for us to go, Lilly was as good as gold travelling both there and back, but then again she slept the whole way back.  The show wasn't as good as back in 2012 due to the lack of demo's but the Drift Allstars team were amazing and made Lilly scream with joy after a silly 5 minutes of being scared.  On the Sunday we took a look around the pits, that's a big reason why we like Lydden hill is because of the open pits. There were so many nice cars both drift cars and track day cars too. Lilly was very excited especially aboutt the purple one pictured below.  There was a gia...

Abnormal cells • Smear test • My treatment

Following in from my The importance of a smear test  I wanted to share what happened next. I believe this is also as inportant as the first part and the more unknown. I recieved a letter about two weeks after my smear saying that I had borderline cell changes and that I would be booked in for a colposcopy. This was horrible, the worst kept going through my mind, the C word.  I then waited a further week for an appointment for the clinic which was 3 weeks wait again, this also made me a little more nervous.  Well today I arrived at the clinic full of butterflies. My name was called and I went into the room. At first a nurse went through what she was going to do and asked a few questions, I was then asked to get ready.  The colposcopy was a little uncomfortable, just like the smear and was a little longer. She then gave me the news that everything looks clear but would take a biopsy to confirm her investigation, this was the worst bit, it felt l...

Being a carer for my parents

-
Image
Both my parents have mobility issues and are bithnow in wheelchairs. Since I can remember my Mum has been in a wheelchair due to have a very worn hip joint which she was born with.  When I was in year 9 my Dad's back started to hurt and progressivly got worse to the point where he struggled to get out of bed. I am now classed as a carer to my mum which is important for me, my mum is very stubborn and sometime I have to have a little nag to get her to do things. I don't see my parents in any other way than just my parents, if that makes sense. My Mum is an amazing person who makss me proud every day. Due her lack of mobility she also has other health problems which she can control with tablets and lifestyle changes.  My Dad is still constantly on the go with his veterans and the local carnival which he does every year using his mobility scooter as his base for his structure. He does feel it after he compeltes things but I think it gives him motivation to...
