I went to Homebase yesterday cos they were having a sale on outdoor planters and I needed to repot a couple little trees I’ve got in the garden. I ended up getting a bonsai tree (can’t decide whether to keep it as a bonsai or let the poor thing be free to grow up…), some chinese bamboo, some asparagus, lavendar and a fuscia plant… My garden is looking nicer. half of it is still in diasarray… but gimme a week and it’ll be lovely.

I’ve started riding my bike again- mainly for fitness…..I rode Mo to school in his trailer this morning. I am dead. It’s *so* much more difficult than riding on my own…. and I’ve got to go get him this afternoon. ugh…

I think I’m going up to Manchester this weekend. Yay. That’ll be nice. I’ll be sure to take my hayfever tablets tho (Bri is out in the country)… It’ll be a nice rest.

I need a regular job. All this freelancing stuff is doing my head in. Even just one or two regular days per week, with a regular income coming in, then I can fit the other stuff around it. It’s very difficult doing the single mother thing AND not knowing day to day where, when or even *if* I’m working.

Mo is in love. Properly. He’s been really mopey for the past few weeks and I thought something bad was happening at school and he wouldn’t tell me. But I figured it out last night when I told him to tell me what was wrong and he said, “….. Yasmin won’t marry *anyone*…” I asked if he told Yasmin that he liked her and he said ‘no’… and then went on to say that she doesn’t like him… I told Mo he should try and think of a way of letting her know how he feels about her- give her a present, make her something, paint her a picture… something special. He’s just like his dad- won’t tell the girl how he feels, feels unloved by her, then mopes around feeling sorry for himself and still can’t say what he feels.

Ho-hum.

NOTE: I have kept most of my earliest blog posts private. They are mainly crap. I have, however, tried to make live at least one from each month.
