Oh good. I often feel as if my laptop's webcam is spying on me.

Aden got a b+ to a- on his last english assignment for the year. I'm really happy about this, because he's been struggling with his teacher all year. They're totally at odds with each other, and it's taken great strength of will for Aden to just pretty much ignore her and work with me or by himself on his assessment pieces. She gave him a D in first semester which really didn't sit well with any of us, so that's a great improvement. Overall, he's expecting a B for the final semester and I don't think I could ask for much more.
It's really made me see that he can do anything if he sets his mind to it, so I hope he can store this little journey in his memory bank for future reference the next time he gets a teacher, lecturer (assuming he still wants to go to uni in another couple of years) or boss who doesn't bother looking below the surface.

Great Mum (of course), decent boys and also a good father figure.
Dazza is a man I'd like to meet.

Someone around this joint needs to win the lotto somewhere and shout us all a trip to the one location.
That way we can all meet and do the things we want with the people on here. We may need to get some private rooms for a few of the...hmmmm...more excitable posters. lol

I went to a party last night with some good friends and had a really fun time, then today we had a visit from some more friends that we haven't seen in ages.
It's been a really great weekend. ![]()

Another £28 in the kitty from a day at work.
It's growing very slowly though, thats to the DWP claiming back over £30 in overpaid benefits from February. I'm lucky they're not charging me interest I suppose. Saw two children from school - spooked them too by the look of things - and a teacher and the school secretary. It's nice being recognised outside school. It also went quicker today, and I feel much more confident.
