Learning - Saturday

Lottie had her friend (my sister in laws dog) Molly round to play, they went for a walk together and Lottie got very dirty. It was time for Lottie to have her first bath, not something I was looking forward to....
we didn't take photos of the event as I didn't think it would be a wise time to take photos...but who would have guess, she was fine. The bath went well and very little mess :)
She took some drying though, good job we had the fire going.

I know she doesn't look very happy- but this is a normal look, lol

Learning - Friday

I learnt to make bread for the first time today- I thought it was going horribly wrong as it was very very sticky

Before it went in the oven and when it came out...

it wasn't actually too bad....apparently, according to DH it needed more salt, but it was edible, so that's a start. I don't think I will be in a rush to make it again though as my arm was aching, lol

It seems The Open University likes to play a little trick on us, after yesterdays email to say our result would be delayed, I saw on facebook this morning others saying they had got there result. I logged onto the website....


So I got 49% in my exam, I needed 40% to pass, so I was pleased I passed but disappointed it brought my overall module grade to a pass 4, with the assignments being a 78%- grade 2 pass....but its a pass which I wasn't expected after the exam, so onwards and upwards!

learning- Thursday

Today I have learnt to be patient, our module results should have been available tomorrow, but this morning I received this email....the results have been delayed, so I will have to wait a little longer now to see how I did in the exam that seems ages ago now.

Learning - Wednesday

I learnt today that the minimum wage rose in October, it will be a small difference in our pay packets :)

Thank you for all your lovely comments and welcoming me back.

Tuesday

learn-



I go out to work this afternoon and a small two year old can empty a toy box, into a neat pile on top of a bean bag....why?, because he can :)

Quote week with Lynne

Monday- When its cold outside, its lovely to be sat inside knitting in front of a warm fire.

AWOL & No Limits

Sorry I have been away for sometime from blogland. No good excuse just life getting in the way. I had the childhood module exam, starting a new module of equality, participation and inclusion, a car breaking down and without it for 4 weeks and the usual child chaos!!

I am still waiting for my exam results and this is certainly  case of no limits, I hate exams but managed to go through with it- as for each course getting myself nearer to a degree, most days I am struggling at the moment.
The car had a computer (ecu) fault and once we got it back I just wanted rid of it, I crashed it last year and I had fallen out of love with it. I was very stressed trying to find another car- our budget was poor and I wanted a decent car. In the end I found a Hyundai i30, its a little small for 3 kids but will be ok when Harry goes into the next stage car seat....so once the car problem was solved I felt a little better.

As for Annes, no limits, I do put limits onto myself and its silly really, we can do most things when we put our selves out of our comfort zone. I am enjoying my knitting still and managed to make a hat with a simple two colour pattern, I surprised myself how much I enjoyed it. I now want to have a go at spinning yarn, but that will have to wait until after Christmas.
