Another Rainy Monday
I haven't posted for a few day's as i have been quite busy in work. Last week i had quite a lot to do i had to do the mail out for the CDT meeting which takes place this Thursday. I also had to take minutes at the Board meeting. Then on Friday was the Trio Project which went ok.
The weekend started at 3.30am, i was up at that time filling the car up ready for a car boot sale at Singleton Hospital. I was so tired and grumpy, we was in a que of traffic at 4.30 when we eventually got our pitch and started setting up ready to make some cash. The night before Dylan was practicing his selling skills he was a Rodney in the making. As we were unloading about 10 people were behind us to see what we had they were taking stuff out of the car to look at what we had. We sold all the best stuff there and then. Dylan had filled a box with army figures, tanks and lots of other little junk. A man bought the lot off Dylan for £8 which was a bargain because everything in it was not worth much he said his grandson will love all of these. The morning went quite well, we made quite a bit. Dylan went for a walk around to spend some of his well earned cash, further down the car booty was the man selling the stuff he bought that morning at a higher price. Dylan's then decided to strop all morning there was a funny side to it. The rest of the afternoon was spent in bed i was so tired and grumpy.
Sunday we went to the mumbles for a walk. We went rock climbing and looking for crabs and other sealife creatures. After hours of me winging we went for an ice cream then home.
Well today has been quiet. We have had no Bobby or Anthony. We are all preparing for the summer event which takes place on the 15th August. Me and Julie will be working together, this morning i asked her to get her statistics ready and she pronounced it like a disease. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

That Friday Feeling Again
This week has been quite busy, been getting the newsletter ready for the printers checking for any little mistakes in it (which Jeanne found). It went off this morning and should be ready to be printed and will be delivered to the residents of Blaenymaes, Portmead and Penplas. We are always looking for new members to join the group, and always need stories to fill the newsletter with. If you have any local news, issues that you wish to put in the newsletter contact me on 578632 to discuss coming to the meetings.
Yesterday morning, as i always do i come in 10 mins early to grab a coffee and a fag, whilst i was sitting on the outside bench a big kite flew down onto the grass, i know their not that big but it startled me first thing in the morning without my coffee fix! I was circling the the sky for a bit and then flew off! If i see it again i will get some pics.
Today i attended the new TRIO project, i enjoyed it but it looks as though it could get a lot harder, but Debz is on it too so we can help each other out (not that she'll need any help).
Then Claire came back from Tairgwaith and asked me to park her car i did it after a few attempts it was weird being in a different car. For the weekend i will be visiting the Waterfront Museum, to have a look at the Earth From the Air Exhibition. And Sunday if the weather stays like this i will be taking a walk to Penllergare Valley Woods. See you all Monday there's new pics in my flicker xx

Monday Morning
i haven't updated for a few days so i better keep you updated.
Last week was a really quick week for me, Tuesday and Wednesday i just caught up on some office work. Thursday Dylan (my son) came into work with me for the day, but in the morning Maggie offered to take him to the Tardis Bus so off he went. With in half an hour he was back will a really bad finger. He had be in the rolling tubs which they use for the kids and held on, on the outside and crushed his finger. So it was straight up to see our doc. His finger looked grose, it looked flat, stretched and covered in blood. Then the doc said get straight up to casualty for an x-ray as he thought it might be broke. Up Morriston Hospital he was seen really quickly and the x-ray's showed he was fine just going to loose his nail and it will be sore for a few weeks. He has been fine all weekend but as soon as Monday morning came and it was back to school he wanted the bandage put back on. He wants to get out of doing work in school.
I also had a driving lesson last week where i had another mock test and at last i PASSED it, i was so happy i have finally done rounder bouts at last!! After the lesson finished he told me i was ready to take my test, if you could have seen the look on my face! So i will be having my test soon im not sure if i want to let people know the exact date. So if anyone has a small car and would like to give me extra lessons over the next month or so please feel free to contact me.
The weekend i didn't get up to much, my mum is back today from Spain and i hope she's bringing the weather with her.
I have also set up flicker on my page have a look!

Adult Learners Day
It's been a while since i updated my blog, there hasn't been much happening lately. This week i have been doing a lot of my usual office work which includes typing, photocopying and general office duties.
This week i have completed my uni work which has been handed in. And i have now signed up for the trio project which starts next month. And last Friday i passed my English exam in basic skills so my CV is filling up well.
Well most of this week has consisted of cakes and chocolate. People are forgetting to eat healthily!! This week i am back on the healthy dinners which consits of 3 rivita's slices of ham, and slices of cucumber with garlic and herb tesco health living spread. And for afters 1 banana!! (sometimes if fills me up)
I have also been working on the newsletter, there are 3 new member's in the group Kelly, Billy and Simon, its great having new people in the group, if you would like to join you can contact me at the Arc on 01792 578632. Today i have been working with Kelly she is recovering drug addict and she expresses her feelings through poems so she is having a page called Kelly's Korner which will include some of her poems and if anyone would like to send some into her they can. I am hoping this issue will be on people's door step within the next 2 weeks.
Apart from that i had a driving lesson last night which went well, i parked outside the test centre and discussed putting in for my test really soon but i probably wont be telling anyone when it is. I have decided what car i want it is the new Skoda Fabia, you might have seen it on the adverts they make it out of cakes and sweets, it orange and white. I really need that car!!
My mum is on holiday for 2 weeks in Spain and she called last night and where she is staying isn't that nice and where it said in the brochure that the town was 10 mins but its actually nearly 2 hours so she's looking to stay somewhere else. I wish i was sitting in the sun on the beach getting a lovely glowing tan. That's all for now, keep you posted xxx

This Week
This week has gone quite quick. It's been really quiet without Debz and Julie they have popped up in the week. I have had to listen to Bobby all week as Anthony was off, its been like being in a army camp.
Its been a mixed week which included foot massages, a lady in her smalls standing in my office and putting children's toys together. Every day is different but other days can really drag. I now have a scanner in my office which i have been nagging for, for ages now. I finally have it, now i need some shelves in my office so time to annoy Bobby again.
Tomorrow i hope its not going to rain as I'm having a BBQ with a few friends over. Time to relax and top up the tan.
Keep you posted
Take care

Dyan's Birthday
Well its been a few day's since i have last updated my Blog.
It's been so quiet here at the ARC since Debz has been off work and now Julie is off work for a week I'm going to be such a loner. I have decided to try and give up smoking again on Monday because their both off it should be easier to do and i wont have them asking me to join them for a coffee and cigarette which we call "discussing work issues". I will keep you updated!
Tuesday night i had my driving lesson and a practiced all my maneuvers which i done perfect, i really enjoy doing them as I'm not on the road with other traffic or heading for any rounder bouts. He said my next lesson we will do another mock test and we will discuss putting in for my test depending on the result of my mock. But he has warned me that i cant giggle all throughout my test like i did on my last one. I need to also remember to put my side mirror back up once i have finished my maneuver as i could fail my test on that for observation so you must remind me.
Wednesday in work was quite busy as i had to prepare everything ready for the CDT Meeting, there was not many staff to cover the meeting so i needed to prepare everyone, which included nagging Owen and Claire to get some info for the community newsletter "Your Voice Your Choice". I also spoke to David who provides the ARC with free re-conditioned PCs for student's, Volunteers and groups, he was delivering 10 PCs on Friday.
After work it was time to go shopping for Dylan as the was 9 yesterday. I bought him new goal posts, a new shiny football, new goaly gloves, a pair of boxing gloves when i got home i found out it was a pair of 2 right hand gloves - don't you hate it when you buy something and its the wrong size with the right size hanger on it or 2 left shoe's in your shoe box. And you have to take them back and they don't have the thing you wanted in the first place! Or is it just me? I also bought him a garden game set which includes badminton, volleyball, tennis and other things. I was really hoping that he liked all his presents because last year he had a ticket for Spain to go on holiday a few day's later.
Yesterday morning i was up at 5 i was coming down with a cold, i couldn't breath through my nose and i hate that. I was coughing and had a sore throat. But i got up made some sandwiches and got everyone else up, Dylan, Darren and Todd my bro.
We arrived at Oakwood for 10.00am, the only car in the car park no-one else around. We caught the little train round to the park and we were there on our own for about 2 hours. We went on the Bob Sleigh first then we decided to go on Megaphobia first. This was the first time Dylan was able to go on rides like this as he's always been to short so we took him on there. Well as you can see he was shocked!!
But once we got over the shaky legs and dizzy head bit we couldn't wait try everything and Dylan was ready for anything. After that we went on the pirate ship, the bounce and Speed, this was the scariest ride i have ever been on i have never screamed so much i honestly thought i was going to die especially as there a 2000ft drop.
Open the links on the names of the rides and you will see how fast these rides are
I went on it a few times but Dylan went in it on their own. We didn't have to Que for any rides as there was hardly anyone there. We went on the Hydro slide the one where the girl died on it last year. It only opened 2 - 5pm so nearly everyone in the park was ready for the first ride including us. We started listening to the instructions which was done through speakers the next thing all the power went. I was so scared but we done it and we're all alive. We all got soaked, walked back to the car and made our way home. I am now full of flu and cant wait to finish today as i really need my bed. Keep u all updated next week.
