It is Matilda. Work is the main factor. It's been pretty much 24*7 recently but that's the nature of the job sometimes. I'm OK though and I do manage to socialise from time to time. All work and no play and all that....
On the holiday front it doesn't look as if the "family" holiday will pan out. The way things have worked there is only one window of opportunity and that's late July. Mr B and W are away then so me and D13/S15 will probably jet off to Cyprus.
Studying at the moment too. Got some training coming up in a week or so. Lots of preparation to do in advance because there is so much to cover. The course ends with a couple of exams. I'm out of practice with the studying but now that I'm getting back into it there is a certain enjoyment/satisfaction.
I had a birthday too. On the 7th (Monday). They come round too quickly for my liking.
Main frustration is S15 and school. Things are not going too well on that front. With hindsight (yes, it is wonderful thing) he would have been better off elsewhere but he's nearing the end of his first year at GCSE it's too late to change now really. Better to wait till the exams are out of the way which effectively is only 12 months away.
What else? Well AMD the job I was talking about was plumbing. Something totally different. Or go back to do some more studying - perhaps law. I'm going to start Spanish lessons too and maybe take up running. That's a definite maybe.
