Anyway, last Monday morning Louis distributed his CVs to various shopping outlets in our local high street. I waited outside each shop for Louis, feeling really proud of him gaining more experience in the big wide world! I ticked off the shops he had left his CV with or made a note for him to apply online. This was mainly for Louis' own reference of knowing where and what... When I returned home - I discovered that I had passed my K260 course. So celebrated in the evening with a bottle of bubbly with my best mate (Lillie's Daddy).
Tuesday was a quiet day for Lillie & I - Lillie was in a completely 'play day' kind of mood so was busy wth building indoor tents, colouring, drawing etc... No structure at all to the day.
Wednesday, Lillie & her Daddy met with Lillie's Nanny - they travelled over to East London to visit Lillie's Great Aunt & Great Grandmother. Lillie's birthday will be coming up soon, so she received some early birthday presents just in case she doesnt see her Great Aunt & Great Grandmother before the 23 of this month. When Lillie got home I needed to pop to the shop and knew the local playground was now open to the public. Lillie was delighted & overjoyed to see it filled with kids, thus confirming that she could finally have a go herself after weeks of waiting patiently!
Yesterday, Louis popped his toolbox in as he has now 'officially' left his apprenticeship placement in Tonbridge. He feels ok but I can tell he will miss training on the job & is anxious about getting a new local placement asap. I know something will turn up soon for him. However, he has it all planned out & is prepared to work doing 'anything' part time at the mo while at college. Hence him making up CVs & distributing them around town last Monday. By yesterday afternoon I was feeling a little unwell. Lillie looked after me well & gave me some peace & quiet which I was grateful for. Our house like many others is so noisy with lots of things going on at once & people coming & going. So it was nice to just draw the curtains and snuggle up on the sofa together.
Woke up this morning feeling much better. Lillie & I took a slow early morning walk to the shop. Lillie has noticed the increased amount of litter on a particular street we walk down. She actually said it makes her cross that people dont put their rubbish in bins and asked how we could make it a cleaner world if this happens. I suggested that when she gets a little older & bigger she will be able to do something about that, by writing letters to our council, as they are responsible as well for keeping our area clean & tidy. Without any hesitation she said. "Dont worry Mummy I will!" So if any council officials read this blog post - be warned as Lillie is a very determined child! lol... When we got home Lillie had her Australian brekky - vegemite on toast, a glass of OJ & a banana, strawberry (home grown) & fairtrade honey smoothie! I can say Lillie loved it & has suggested a Chinese breakfast for next month. Any ideas for this would be welcomed as I shall have to research this one well!
Now Lillie is making herself comfortable with making a bed in the lounge so she can continue watching the Olympic Opening Ceremony. She has already shouted "Wow" several times and its only been on for an hour! She loved the opening fireworks and the 'magical' Olympic rings being raised by 'flying fairies'! So Im off to join her now, as Im an avid Olympics fan. Daley Thompson was my hero in the 80s... Come On Team GB!
