Emma Surtees: oops!

Oh man, I've done it again!!! I don't mean to do this but I forget! right lets update again from March.

Toddle Waddle was very successful, we managed to raise a total of £420.10! so very pleased that we got over the £400 mark. It makes all the stress worth it,especially when I think of all the support that The Meningitis Trust will be able to give to families who have been affected by meningitis, purely from that £400. The last update I got was that so far they had received over £100,000.

I have finally passed my Leadership for Brownies and I'm now officially Guider in Charge or a fully fledged Brown Owl!

I'm currently wondering if there is an app for this that I can use on my phone that would be so convenient, then I'd be able to update A LOT MORE OFTEN!

I had a lovely birthday and was thoroughly spoiled, as well as having celebrated my 8th wedding anniversary and more recently Michael's birthday!

So, what did I decide about teaching? well, I've decided to wait until Andrew is in full time school before I can commit to a full time teaching course. In the meantime, Shannon has asked if I would like to help teach Sing and Sign. Of course, I've said yes!! hopefully Sasha Felix will too when she sees my audition tape! then North East England watch out, we're aiming for domination!!

Andrew's signing has come on so much lately, he love's all the songs, music and actions in a lesson. We were singing Old MacDonald in church this morning, complete with signs, Andrew was allowed to pick the animals, so Old Mac had quite a zoo! Granted we were using the animals from Noah's Ark - I was slightly concerned that the lion may have eaten the chickens (or chihin's as Andrew says) but all was well!!
