College,Falls,Wind-up,Surprise,VO,Reading and Laptop?

Its been quite a while since my last entry. Things seem to be running more smoothly at the moment. I went along to Barking College to enrol "ST". I don't know how this will pan out at the moment, but i do hope "ST" will be able to get into politics as he this is what he wants to do or somewhere along those lines as he is very politicaly minded. He has got an interview next week for Business studies, so he will know whether or not he will be excepted, i do hope so as he has got his heart set on Politics. This week he has been away from school as he has been quite ill with Tonsilitis and a chest infection and the DR gave him some antibiotics...Last week, i was ill myself with a chest infection, but i am ok now thank goodness!



During the bad weather, "?" had a couple of bad falls on the ice in one day, he did'nt break anything, but it has hurt him and still hurts at times and is very weary going up and down stairs ect...I think it has contributed to his arthritis which is playing up lately too! Myself, i did'nt venture out at all while the ice was around for fear of falling myself.



A couple of weeks ago, i had "Z" stay over at the weekend. We all had a lovely time together, mind you, "ST" and "Z" did have their moments winding each other up...cheeky monkey's!



Last week i had a lovely surprise, "E" text me out of the blue and wanted to bring little Alfie round to see me, but i had to put her off as "ST" was ill at the time and still is, so i will let her know when she can come round when "ST" is over his illness. "E" said little Alfie has got 2 teeth now ( bless him)



I got a couple of letters from "A" hes ok and i've written to him. He says hes put on quite a bit of weight being that he works in the canteen at the prison and he gets extra food. Hes like me puts weight on very easily and working with food don't help none either. "A" wants "?" and me to go and visit him, he has put us both on a VO ( visiting order) for the 29/3 with "E",Alfie,"ST" and "J". I would like to go to see him, but i'm not sure if "?" will go or whether he will be wild at me for even thinking of going as "?" has got strong feelings for not going to visit him and i don't blame him for feeling that way as "A" has done him wrong, still i've got a few days to think about it before i get in a row with him over this one...i sweat hot bricks thinking about it, because i know what he will say, but i can't help my own feelings towards "A"... i have mellowed towards him, but saying that i am still aware.

I bought 2 books "No Time For Goodbye" this book i just could'nt put down and i really enjoyed the read. And "Dead Mans Footsteps" which i am still reading and again enjoying it. I have been into reading quite a lot lately as i could'n get to my computer as "ST" hogs it most of the time, so i don't get a look in these days. I also bought 2 DVDs as well. "Mama-Mia" and "Ghost Town" both of these i enjoyed.

I'm thinking of buying a reconditioned laptop. I've seen one for £279.00. It has vista, 15" screen, graphics card and built in webcam which sounds good to me, but i don't know about laptops and i'm not sure if its worth buying a reconditioned one or not? Any thoughts on that anyone?Anyway, that will have to wait for a couple of months i think!

Well, its getting late now, so i will leave it here. Best wishes to you all...my online friends!
Astra!

Hello Astra.It's good to read a post from you after such a long break.We all seem to need one at some time.Sorry to read ? had that bad fall,and you were wise to stay put in the bad weather.If you feel you would like to visit A then do so.? could take you and go somehwre else until you have visited and then maybe pick you up.I know it must be hard for ? to forgive,I hope all turns out well when you chat about it and WW3 doesn't break out LOL!! MEN as I am used to saying LOL!!I will say prayers for you and also for ST he gets a position in the collage.It sounds as though little Alfie is coming along fine they don't seem baboes for long do they?.Let it not be too long before you post again.I don't like laptops much,but I carn't give you advise as I don't know enough about them sorry.I have only used my Daughters once or twice.So take Care God Bless Kath xx
