Very smiley as a fall back disposition. :)

Today is muggy, a bit like thunder storm weather! I have spent 2 hours in the job centre as I had a new appointment time and forgot to write it down, only to discover that because I didn't send in my C.V as 'directly ordered' bizarre language choice, I may lose up to 4 weeks benefit, including housing benefit!! It's not as if the job centre are any help at all in me getting a job, and I have done paid work so they can see my job seeking status is genuine. The guy was nice about it, I think he has a shit job and said he would write something which is sympathetic. I have sent it now so will just have to keep my fingers crossed!

Apart from that bit of joy all is well, had a lovely weekend, girls night in at my sisters on Saturday night, with Chris as a token boy. Lots of chat around Dogs, Lola is defiantly like an extra child! Cute chats with Izzy and Joseph, Izzy was all adorable in her princess, ballerina dress from Mamar, she'd cried at bed time because she didn't want to take it off! Joseph was showing me his Star wars sound gismo.. They both gave very different accounts of their Mothers day gift for Char, very sweet and funny.

Mothers day we had a huge feast at Stu's Mum and Dad's. They spoke a bit about the family history, names such as Lancelot and Shadrock were common in his family, I said don't be giving Stu any ideas! Also spoke to my Mum in Daytona, miss her but know the chilled out, sunshine lifestyle is really good for both her and my Step Dad.

Monday morning applications for teaching posts followed by a super lovely trip to the George (birthday treat) from Sophie and a 7 month old Ruby. Ruby is like a mini Soph, very smiley as a fall back disposition and loves the water, lots of giggling and waving and splashing. She even tried to latch on to me in my swimming suit- which I considered an honour, Soph dunked her sideways a few times and she was great about it. Stayed at Soph and Saul's last night, Very beautiful home, overlooking hills and trees Talked about the wedding, had lots of chicken and rice and lovely crisp white wine. Slept really well in a blacked out room.

Maybe seeing Elena tonight, which is always lovely, then applications and spring sorting/cleaning for the next couple of days.

The location for my party is proving a little more difficult than first anticipated so will have to get on that today. :)
