Catch Up Time

Thank you to Missie for the above graphic...

 

Good afternoon everyone.  How are you all?  I can’t believe I have not posted for over two weeks.  Did you miss me?  hehe  Pour yourself a cup of tea and pass around the biscuits; I feel this could be a long one.  Are you sitting comfortably?  Then, I will begin!

 

Now let’s see, do you remember the Health & Social Care A-Level examination I sat in January?  Well, I’ve the result.  My mark was 55 / 100, which is the equivalent to a C grade.  It’s the grade I wanted, however I was a little disappointed by the mark.  I expected to do better.  I don’t know why but, I’ve signed my name up to re-sit the exam in June.

 

Last month, I organised a coffee morning.  It was to raise funds for a charity called Bobath Cymru.  There is a specialist centre for children who have Cerebral Palsy here in Wales.  Recently, the charity had to go private because it receives no funding from the Government or NHS Trust.  As a consequence, physiotherapy costs £4,000 for one child.  *gasp*

 

When I heard this news, I realised I had to had something.  I had the opportunity to give something back to the centre that helped me so much when I was younger.  I made some Welsh cakes and my mum made some spicy shortbread.

 

The morning was a success.  The total amount raised was £65.80.  I was so chuffed to raise that amount in one day.  It’s going to a very worthy cause.  I’m happy to have made a difference.  J

 

My laptop has gone off to PC World to be fixed.  The problem is the motherboard.  I didn’t know such a component existed.  The salesman said to my dad that I may as well start looking for a new laptop.  I don’t think so, LOL!

 

That’s me up to date, now.  Catch ya soon.
