Busy, Busy

Wow, it's been ages since I came on here. Just been so busy though, the days just seem to run away from me. well, last time I wrote we were just off to Manchester for Raechels appointment with the modelling agency, and I'm delighted to say that she was accepted :D She has also had her first casting since then, which took place in Derbyshire. It was for a film called Skeletons. We haven't heard anything back as yet (it was just under a week ago), but tbh I'm not expecting her to get the part, it was just nice to have the first casting under her belt, and to get a little bit of experience. She also got through to the boot camp for a local talent show. That will take place in April, so she's flying high at the moment. Mind you, the attitude is also flying high as well. Pre teen hormonal girls are NOT fun!!!

Hayley is just plodding along as she usually does, bless her. Just desperately trying to find something for her to shine at. But when her interests are science and Dr Who, it's slightly difficult lol!!!

On our visit to Scotland last month (for half term), Roberts dad received the devastating news that he has bladder cancer. I think that most of us were expecting it to be honest, but it was the manner in which he was told that was so devastating. He was told over the phone!! The girl at the other end was ringing to make an appointment for him with the cancer unit, and had no idea his doctor or consultant hadn't bothered to tell him. It was an utter disgrace!! He has now started his chemo, adn he has to have 3 lots of that, then radiation. So it's a matter of wait and see now.

We'll be going back up to Scotland again next month, as a cousin of mine is getting married and we'll be attending the wedding. The only downside is that it's on Hayleys birthday!! But we will have a party for her before we go up and I'm sure she'll be made a fuss of by family up the road.

We also have another member of the family. A black lionhead rabbit named Simba :) A friend of mine asked if I would take him, as her daughter wasn't looking after him at all, and it wasn't fair on him. So he's become Hayleys bunny, and lives in a cage in her room. He's still a bit scared, but coming along nicely.

I've been enjoying the lovely sunshine we've had of late. Spending time in the garden. And Robert has bought me a plastic greenhouse for the garden :) I've always wanted one, so that's my Mothers Day pressie. Can't wait until the weekend when he puts it up for me. Also trying to clear out a load of junk from the house. I can't understand how this stuff builds up!! I do a major clearout about every 6 months or so, and there always seems to be loads. I think it breeds lol.

I'm sitting here doing this today as I have to wait in on the Virgin telephone engineer. There is a horrible crackling on my line. I went and bought a new handset, thinking it was the phone, but it wasn't, so wasting the morning sitting in, as obviously they don't give you a time! Mind you, the way I'm feeling, I could just go back to my bed lol. Absolutely shattered!
