Billie needs it for her school work so she can use it up in her bedroom for revision of her GCSE exams. She got her Mock results last week and they were pretty good - some better than expected. Her dragon for her Art & Design mock sadly broke in the kiln (previews in a previous post), she has glued it back together, hopefully with a good paint job it shouldn't be to bad!! She then has her science resits in January, she got B's in 3 of them so we decided why not give them another go to see if she can get A's in those as well, she was only 2 marks off the chemistry one!!! She can't lose as she keeps her best grade either way!!
She will also resit her English language module which the school has agreed to put everyone back into resit it because of all the wooha over the government changes they made mid-year!! She got a D and her target grade was a C she was pretty devastated by that!!!
So now we are trying to work out what she wants to do for the future, its so difficult making these decisions now, she is still 15 and trying to decide on her future. She wants to carry on into the 6th Form and do A levels. She is suppose to pick 4 only, so wittling down from 11 has been very mind-blowing!! I think we're nearly there now!! Phew!!
Mick needs the laptop to download his music collection (records) when we had to wipe the system on the main computer I didnt know he hadn't saved anything onto disk/memory stick so he lost everything he'd done already!! He was gutted!! So they are both sharing the laptop, I will need to get him an external hard drive I think to save everything onto so he won't lose it all again!!
So hence Christmas has taken a bit of a back seat, I just cant seem to get interested in it at all. My biggest problem is the fact my oven is cremating everything I put in it!! 80(( Yes its about 23 years old and has seen better days, the thermostat has gone and my hubbie says the parts are now obselete so that means I need to get a new one. I dont want to get a new one, they don't make them like they used to (mine is a split level one) my kitchen is only half complete and I just didnt want to buy one right now, so what to do????? January Sales I think cheap and hopefully cheerful!!! So not much chance of getting a christmas pressie this year! 80((
Its my birthday again in January, only this is a biggy!!
Yep 50!!
Oh gosh!! I feel ancient, at 40 I seemed to change over night but 50 I really dont know how thats going to go! I know one thing I really want to do something a bit different, special ~
a flying lesson!
No not a glider a real plane!!
Checked it out and I have found a company on the web
http://www.intotheblue.co.uk/flying-experiences/fly/flying-lessons/panshangeraerodrome/
this is at Panshanger in Hertfordshire so not too far!! I am quite excited about the experience but I will wait until the spring for better weather. I am still trying to work out what to do on my birthday, I am thinking of doing an Afternoon Tea type gathering, I'm working on that one!! Will update you when I have decided.
Thats it for now, nothing new to show you jewellery/beads wise, I am working on tutorials for Bead Magazine right now so got to keep that under my hat.
One thing though I can hear my paint brushes calling me from my workshop, I might just have to go answer that call, must be all the art stuff Billie is doing at school, she keeps raiding my art and craft supplies and its making me think ~ I do miss it! I need to get those canvases out which seem to be cluttering up my space! Mmmmmmm problem with that though is I love doing life drawing, I might need to go join an evening art class!!
Maybe I'm having another mid-life crisis at 50!!! Ha ha ha!!
Catch you next time!!
