Our new calendar page for 2021 with Stanley, Rourke and Cassie

It certainly brings back a happy memory for me of a lovely walk in a new place on a beautiful June morning

 

[Stacia]

I've put my calendar in a 'safe place' and can't remember where that is! I wish we could go back to those happy days.

My kiddo does these rambling, crazy monologues while falling asleep. Tonight he was stroking his hair and mumbling "Ponytail, ponytail, ponytail. Gingerbread. Gingerbread nice. Bite it! Eat it!"

He does like food and his long hair...

My calendar is at work I am going to bring it home as we haven't had our usual free one from the oil company. I shall hang it on my kitchen door.

Snowwwww

And his love for Stanley all over his little face

 

[Cath]

Oh @Jen what a lovely lad Rory is, I could play hours with him. Stanley looks like he is enjoying himself too xx

 

[Joy]

@Jen Lovely to see your two happy boys! I'm envying your snow. It's just dank and dreary here - I'm trying to console myself with the thought that the geraniums are still flowering but I'd rather have it dry and colder.

I am done. With studying, that is. I submitted my final looooong coursework for my MBA today. And my lovely tutor told me I’ll get a distinction. I feel like I am walking on a cloud. Three weeks ago I was feeling seriously fed up with life, the universe and everything, and now I wonder how much this was weighing on my mind.

It’s not completely done, I still need to do a load of work to pass my apprenticeship and prove it was all relevant to my job ( it wasn’t in any way, shape or form..... so that will be a creative piece of fiction) but I simply have to get through and pass that and it has no bearing on my MBA mark. I can’t believe it’s been two years, I need to go back and reread the thread I started nearly two years ago on this. Thank you so much for all the supportive comments youve all made in the past years when I’ve been whining and whinging about it.

 

[Natalie]

And now, more forum time, yay!

 

[Selina27]

Yes @Natalie I hope it does mean more forum time.

It must feel marvellous to have all that behind you. xx

 

[Cath]

Great work @Natalie

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

@Natalie wow, congratulations, that's HUGE! Happy dance, happy dance!

I can't believe it's already been two years, but to you it probably seems like it has been TEN!

 

[Stacia]

@Natalie, congratulations on completing and getting a distinction, you worked very hard and the feeling it is behind you now is cause for a celebration.

 

[Natalie]

but to you it probably seems like it has been TEN!

Oh, twenty, at least! I’m actually welling up writing this because it feels like such a weight has been lifted. I feel a bit of a fraud as it wasn’t the most difficult programme of study, I feel I learnt how to pass the assignments.. my first degree was much harder.

 

[snowbunny]

YAY! Congratulations, Natalie, that's amazing!!! And maybe a new career beckons in creative writing?

 

[Jen]

Well done Natalie!!

 

[Natalie]

And maybe a new career beckons in creative writing
