Work!!

Well, one more day done and finished at work out of the 10 that I have to do per year!.  To be honest I think I enjoyed it there and managed to surprise myself with how much I remembered!  I do forget alot of the time that their is a small (very small) brain inside my head that knows stuff.  Feel I was quite helpful too as I managed to get a fair amount of work done.

Just sitting here preparing for Brownies tonight.  I took over officially at the beginning of January and have had a really good time and have found it to be a learning experience for me too.  I have surprised myself with just how much patience I have with the girls and it would seem that my perserverance with the changes I have made is starting to pay off.  One girl is moving up to Guides tonight so I've got her leaving certificate sorted out (feeling exceptionally smug as I have managed to do it on the computer) even managed to find a Brownies leaving badge at the depot on Tuesday night so I can give that to her too.  My mentor is coming along tonight to see how I'm doing with my course so hopefully she will be able to sign a load of my stuff 'off' which I think will leave me with not very much else to do!!

One of my best friends - Tanya has volunteered to start helping out at Sam (her son's) Beaver group once a month.  I got a text on Tuesday night after her first help session saying how much she had enjoyed it!  I challenge you now Tanya to not help out more often than once a month! it does become addictive!

Tonigh we are making self portraits on paper plates in preparation for our world thinking day service on Sunday in Shiremoor.  Should be interesting although I don't want to spend too long doing that as we've got other things to do too.

Wish oranges from our Chinese New Year celebrations!

A couple of pictures to update from this winter

Wish I knew how to rotate this one!!
