Well its been along time, almost a year- which I cannot believe since I came on here. lots of things have changed!
Gareth is a fully fledged officer of the law and doing very well although he will never say anything of the sort!
He has so far passed every course with flying colours. I have been off work for 1 thing and another but this last few weeks has seen a turn around in my self! I am working in a different place now and its all A-okay.
Home life is better than ever at the moment. Kids lovely, usual hard work but usual loveliness.
Billy is training with York City, he is taller than me and turning into a lovely young man. Its hard work for all of us at times but to date Billy is my greatest achievement! When he is 18 and not an alcoholic drug taking father of 10 then I will finally rest. He has his 15th birthday this week and we had all our lovely family around for food tea and birthday cake-as my mum says 'you can't bottle it'. We are a very close family which annoys others at times but we are so content sitting, drinking tea and putting the world to rights and i love it all!
Alfie's doing well, he's got a lovely Valentine from a girl at school, Daniella, he bought her 1 back as I said if he didn't she would be scarred for life. He's just taken part in one true voice Choir with school and sang at Sheffield Arena, his school was behind a giant speaker so not the best view but next year he will be the main act!!
Ava's loving nursery and all it brings. I was told by her nursery teacher that she looks around to see who is playing alone and goes and gets them to join in. How lovely !! I had to reinforce we were talking about my child as she is not like that at home but indeed she was. She's the girliest girl of them all and I love it! The pinker and sparklier the better- and I quite agree!! Santa gave her her first Cath bag for christmas and she carries several (of my) lip glosses around in it with a selection of my jewellery and rings.
Daisy dot's still a dot, I just bought her some jeans today and decided to try them on her as all the ones that I have bought her in the past are up to her armpits and travel the length of the floor when he has them on. So i tried them on and ended up buying her 6-12 months! love her ! she is 2 now and plays lovely with Alfie and Ava, they play great games and I love that their imagination runs wild just like I did with my sisters, their bedroom can be anything from a football pitch to a school and bakery!! Daisy's very bright and says loads, 4th child syndrome apparently as she listens to all the others and picks it up. She has a little lisp which most kids do but its lovely! She's been washing up today and got wet 'i'm soaked' she kept saying with her little lisp! Cuteness in a bundle and once again 'you can't bottle it'
The picture is of my new home, me and Gareth are going to live in it when the kids leave as its only 1 bedroom.
