Happy New Year!

Hi all.

Happy New Year, I hope all is well.

I had a lovely break. Eating, drinking, relaxing and laughing with my family was Epic! My first Christmas in my new home was also a highlight. Spending time with my children singing and dancing, watching films in our Pyjamas and bringing in the Christmas spirit was brilliant. I also cooked my first EVER Christmas dinner solo. It was a traditional dinner with chicken, turkey, spuds, veg etc. However, it had to have a good sprinkle of Jamaican spice added also: Jerk pork, jerk chicken, rice and peas, macaroni and cheese pie made for a delicious dinner.

Boxing Day saw me battle the masses at my local NEXT store sale, I was washed and dressed and waiting in line at 4am….my family think I’m crazy! lol. It’s been a Christmas ritual of mine since I was pregnant with my eldest 8 years ago. The rush, adrenaline and the bargain grabbing makes for an epic shopping trip!!!

Christmas break is over and back to work it is!

I was one of the people that was ill over the Xmas break.  Ultimately I had the flu during deadline weeks, Sad times………L

I am well and back on form and ready for my upcoming exam. January brings exams and more deadlines. I wish my fellow students Good Luck with their January studies. I know this month can be a stressful, but also a rewarding time.

I am also back to work in the university’s Enquiry Unit. It has been a busy period in the office. The UCAS deadline is around the corner: 15th January so applicants have been doing their best to supply UCAS with all relevant information to aid their applications. I’m hoping their teachers have been doing the same in respects to references. Late references have been a worry for a few applicants.

Until next time.
