Last week was so crazy - homelife was manic and I had lots of hassle filling out the Ucas form (UK central organisation through which applications are processed for entry to higher education)- it's true what they say about going to University, you need to be good at researching and filling out forms, because it took me weeks and this was with (I say lightly) the help of my tutor!
I'm still waiting to get it sent off as the tutor is having problems approving it!! Apparently something's wrong with the software!!!
Anyway after a crying outburst and talking to someone sensible made me see some light at the end of the tunnel. Hiccups can often make you feel disheartened, but fingers crossed Newport Uni here I come!
The good thing lately is the kids have been really good. My big daughter has been better behaved at school and getting some really good marks I think the sun shining has a lot to do with their morale.
I am enjoying the weather also and can't wait for summer. Summer often helps you forget your problems and makes you just enjoy being!

Yippee Yeah Yippee Yeah!!
Hey there, just finished on Friday my first part of the degree - so I officially have a foundation degree in Public and Community Service! Boy I am so proud of myself, not because I've passed but because I have done it with little or no help and support.
The course started off with 15 students and by the end of the course there was only 4 left. 2 of these 4 got help and support with their studies because they have disabilities and the other person has still got to hand in 3 assignments and then there is me, I have handed in all my work and brfore the deadline with like I said - no support.
In those 3 years I have had my daughter, who is two years old and was in a violent relationship - but even though my life was crazy, I did the degree for me, I did this so I would not lose sight of myself.
Now I am at the other end I now know who I am and how strong and determined I can be!
My message for this week is really even though we have families, NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF YOURSELF AND YOUR POTENTIAL.
Stay strong
