Who needs to go abroad?!

On Wednesday we went and spent some time at the beach, it is not something we did a lot as children as we weren't close to the beach ( at least an hour away) and obviously when it was nice enough to go well everyone else had the same idea and we weren't exactly a family for crowds! So it is nice for us to be somewhere so close to the beach, its about 20 minutes on the bus possibly more but that does go round here and there and isn't a direct route! Anyway it's a bus route and its not far at all and the best part is for us? it's FREE basically it  was a free day  We have a bus pass thanks to hubby's job and i made a pack lunch to take with us and let the kids roam on the beach within reason of course.

 

You would think this picture is something from the Mediterranean, Balearic's  etc but no it was Bournemouth! We were lucky however as the south coast got the nice sunny  weather and the rest of the country either had cloud and some rain!  To be honest though temps of 22 degrees and higher is not exactly spring weather! and the temps are going to fall back down again this weekend but myself and the children have enjoyed it(poor hubby been at work), I also enjoy being able to put the washing out on the line. Nothing smells better then  washing on the line. 

Now the link below is to Just giving, for my friends  and sister in law ( who is only 9) who are running in the Race for life, for someone very important, my mother in law. She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer through a routine mammogram and from diagnosis it was very quick to having it out ( scary fast considering how long it takes NHS to do other thngs!) and we are pleased to say that things are going ok but we want to try and help them raise money for Cancer Research so those going through this cancer and many others can get the help support and care that is very much needed so please if you can, donate doesn't matter if it is only a £1 they all add up! 

Race for life

The Easter holidays are nearly over, two weeks with the kiddies, we've spent time with family back at home and we've had time to chill out!  Back to school next week means once again hectic! Mr goes to Nursery on Monday afternoon ( and i'm hoping he likes it! ) it will give me time to take madam to appointments hopefully without much disruption! He will be in all afternoons and fingers crossed if he enjoys it, i will be sending him in September for the 2 1/2 days. So that i have specific days to take madam to appointments and also him to appointments as Gp finally listened and has referred him to peadiatrics over his clicky, flexi joints and the wear and tear on his shoes that are too much like Madams!! Also we have his speech therapy apps when they come in ( which could be three months... lets not go there seeing as it took 6 months to get seen in the first place) Then all of madams apps! Next week we have physio seeing a specialist and the boss of the last physio we had ( who we really liked and really seemed to get her condition)  and we also have a meeting with the welfare officers at school to see if we can come up with some compromise when madam just can't walk.  ( work to do at home etc. ) Lets see what is said. Im hoping it will be a productive appointment and not a " how dare you keep madam off school".   Lets just see what it brings, to say i'm fed up of appointments and people looking down at me is a understatement!
