A day for sharing…..

As we all know today is Valentines day, a day for all us lovers to express our love, with cards flowers and chocolate.

Many Blogger’s have shared there valentines posts with us…

Crushed by Ingsoc had this to say

Over at The pedalogue Leslie brought tears to my  eyes

While Corine made me sigh and Mutley made me laugh.

Being a big romantic at heart I could not let the day pass with out sending my loved one something special.

I made him a card.. it was not perfect but it was hand made just for him,I forgot to take a photo 🙁

As for a  gift well its not about money or expense, it about thought and this said it all……

Now its time for you to share… and tell us what you gave your loved one ?????

Half Term….

No massage class tonight as its half term.

So not to miss out on a practice,I drove into Downham Market and gave a friend a massage.

She really enjoyed it and as she works with me at Tesco I am hoping she will spread the word about how good it was.

Next week we start our assessments at college and begin to learn all about the lymphatic system.

My Swedish massage page is now up on my blog too.

Signing on….

Tomorrow my son has an appointment at the job center…..

When we returned from our holiday he went to work to discover they had decided to let him go, so was sent home with a weeks wages.

Naturally I was very upset as I know its going to be very hard for him to find another job.

Once again I thought please can this family just have a few months where nothing goes wrong….

Typically, being young and naive he said don’t worry I will soon find another job.

Three weeks later no job and now no money,I think he’s beginning to realize its not going to be that easy.

He was doing so well with his driving, passing his theory first time,but now its all come to a stand still.

One thing that has not suffered is his fitness as he now has more time to spend down the gym 🙂

As for me well I sit and hope,trying not to stress out about the whole thing.

Keep smiling… that’s my motto !!

Setting the wheels in motion….

While in Cambridge yesterday I took Matthew’s application form to the Army careers office.

By the time I arrived home Sgt John Chivers had phoned,asking me to ring him back to arrange for Matthew to go for his entrance test’s.

He is now all booked in for Thursday at 1.30 and can expect to be there for about 3 hours.

He should have no problem with these test’s but getting his fitness up to standard is another matter.

I paid for his gym membership and we have been going 3 times a week, his brother helps push him but at the end of the day he has to do it himself.

This is where he really could do with his Dad, who was very fit and would soon knock him into shape.

He has to run a mile and a half aiming for 10mins.. yesterday on the running machine it took him 14 min’s. I wish he would run outside but I cannot talk him into it yet !!

Press ups will be the biggest challenge , 44 in 2 min’s, he can barely do 10 but I did ask the army guys for advise yesterday, they say I have to get him to work till his arms drop then rest a min then work till arms drop again repeating this for about 20mins.

99% of the time I think the foundation college at Harrogate will be fantastic for Matthew , give him opportunities he would never get if he stayed here.

The other 1% of me is scared,scared of being left here on my own……… but don’t tell anyone that as I would never admit to it.
