Bye Bye Holiday. Hello New Life.

(The Tufty Club was a 1970's UK Government Campaign for Road Safety Awareness - and I adored it)
Well the Holidays come to an end here today and tomorrow all three of my darlings go back to school, my youngest for the first time. So I really need to come up with a game plan - get some sort of career back on track maybe? It's hugely tempting to play house and get some tidying done and shopping and ironing and making and..........but - with a pending, gigantic, mortgage on the horizon, I think I have to firmly bite 'paid work' bullet. Apart from all that - more importantly, I am going to miss my little girls, terribly, actually and the quietness I so often prayed for these last 7 weeks, may become a deafening reminder that I am all alone.

Good luck Poppy - I am very proud of you.

  6. I had that very book when I was a child! And a Tufty club badge, too - but unfortunately it has not survived - I probably threw it all out in a teenage fit of sophistication! Great to discover your blog - and hope you find some work that suits. Good luck for tomorrow - my baby starts her last year at primary school - the time has gone all too quickly!

  9. Good luck too poppy! My son went back to school today and my other son starts college next week, it only seems like yesterday that it was his first day at school.

    I am off to the college tonight to have a look at what courses they do… good luck with whatever you decide to do.

  10. I had a great Tufty hanky, how I've wanted to find that again over the years as I loved Tufty club.

    School came a bit earlier for you. We're back on Monday here. Hope the first day went well for all of you. Spend a few days enjoying you time before thinking about the job. It'll come soon enough and then you'll wish you had I bet. So the mortgage is looking probable. Scary and exciting too Fleur.
