Hey - where has the year gone?

Well, what has happened to 2007? I know it wasn't the most wonderful year initially, but it eventually picked up and then all of a sudden its over!!! Who pinched the time....

Still loving my job, everyday is definitely different. You've no idea what you're doing when you arrive. One shift you could be watching t.v, the next taking the guys shopping and going to the pub for lunch! Its fab to see the guys improving and becoming more interactive and responsive.

The girls had a bit of a mixed xmas - they got all their pressies, but Katrina was ill on xmas eve night and didn't finally drop off to sleep until 6.30am xmas day morning.... then Bethan was ill on her birthday (Boxing Day) and spent 4 hours asleep!!!! bless them - tthey are much better but we have all been left with stuffy noses and horrific coughs.

Still working hard in the voluntary sections as usual - finding it more difficult though - however, there isn't anyone else to take over, and in several cases if i left the group would have to close - so am in a no win situation... we'll see what 2008 brings.

My craft has definitely come to a stand still - feel really rotten on my teamies on the UKs site, but they are really supportive and we have decided that the friendship is more important than the crafting.... totally agree. if it wasn't for them, this year would have been unbearable and i may well have fallen apart. Cheers girls for everything!!!

Well, have typed loads and think its all upto date. will try and keep more with it next year, should be easier now i've got a laptop and a wireless connection. it means i can be with the kids and do my jobs and stuff all at the same time..... yippeeeeeeee

See you all in 2008
