I'm (hopefully) going to uni

I got a conditional offer for university last week. I need to work hard on my Physics though, as I need a B to get in.

Its proving very hard. I am trying to learn a little at home but I am finding it so difficult. My Maths is lacking and I am struggling with equations, formulas, theory.. the whole damn thing. Bah

My tutor thinks I can get an A, which is positive, but I am afraid I am not so sure. I have just under two months until my first module test. Fingers crossed I can manage it by then.

The children are fine. Jas is saying a few words which is ultra cute and Oz is a legend.

They have been with their Nanny and Grandad all day today, so I got a lie-in, shopping and some work done. Bliss, but I did miss them like crazy.

I bought a few bits and pieces, but not as much as I would have liked. I wanted to revamp my tops, but couldn't fine quite what I was looking for. I quite liked Marks and Spencers and Debenhams. I had a look at GAP for children's stuff (the stuff for me wasn't quite what I wanted) and the prices were far too high for my liking. Yikes. Lovely stuff, but too high a price. I will have to wait for a lottery win, especially if I go back to college, what with childcare costs, travel and expenses....

No photos today. I'm on the laptop, avoiding doing Span's expenses!!

I won something

I entered a competition here and wrote a piece about my sister, Rebecca.

I didn't think it had gone through properly, but I got an email last week saying that I had won. I assumed that lots of us had won, but no, it was only me. as you can see here Its a very nice foody blog, with some delicious food ideas.

What I said about Becca is completely true. She has worked very hard, with, in my opinion, not enough support from her Uni. Yet she is doing well, getting her "births total" up and apparently enjoying herself (after last nights 3 drunken chats, I suspect she is possibly not quite so happy this morning!)

I'm not usually very sentimental and don't always say out loud how I feel, but it was worth it to get Bec some chocs and champers. I'm just gutted I am here and she is there, so I can't try them!
