Expensive Month

Expensive Month

April is always an expensive month. My own, our Son Adam’s and our Daughter Emily’s birthdays are just days apart and so, it feels like we get over the Christmas over indulgence just in time to start it again with the kids.

A 6 and a 4yr old are pretty predictable to buy for but I can’t even pretend to have been involved in the decision process as Rachel has been in full-on super-mum mode throughout the last few months. I have been busy cracking on with hall stuff, degree stuff, work stuff and maintaining my default setting of general awesomeness (..joking!) while she covers off all of the little jobs like keeping us all fed, watered, happy and alive! I really need to pull my finger out and sort a date night out soon but I can’t seem to fit anything else into my brain at the moment, so I’ll have to make it up to her somehow.

Anyway, on a side note, it looks like my decision to drop the School Governor role is paying dividends already as I’ve smashed the latest Degree assignment on Network Management & Security with a whopping 70% (Outstanding). Hopefully I haven’t screwed my changes of a decent grade at the end of all this but I’m too relieved to even think about that right now!
