IT'S FINALLY ARRIVED......YIPEE!!

What am I talking about the last day of school holidays of course.. well for me anyway. Tomorrow morning Megan and I will be up bright and early for school. Well she only has 3hours to do Thurs and Fri first full day isn't until Monday.

So this being the last day what did I have to do.......... buy school shoes of course. I as usual left it until the last minute. Went to Clarkes if Forestside took my little ticket from the machine and waited patiently it was eventually our turn to be served Megan showed the girl the shoes she liked and off she went in search of her size. Now the shoes Megan wanted of course were to slim for her feet I knew this when I looked at them but she had to try for herself. She has a high instep which means she needs a wide fitting shoe and can rarely get what she wants there is either one pair or if she is really lucky two to choose from. Well after trying on six pairs they were all to small. Then of course panic set in were was I going to get shoes at this short notice. The girl in the shop thankfully pointed me in the direction of the Startrite shop on Saintfield Rd obviously she couldnt recommend them because they wern't Clarke's but I took the hint and off we set. Ten minutes later in the shop the girl had no problem finding a shoe wide enough came out with four boxes in different styles. Megan has never been so happy getting shoes she actually had a choice. So purchased said shoes and now have one very happy daughter. Guess were I'm going next time.

Up and running at long last

Hello well I have actually got my act together and finally got my blog up and running. Well still sorting it out.

For those that don't me friends from my teenage years have over the past months started posting blogs and although we don't see each other that often and havn't for many years it is a great way of catching up with each others lives no matter where we are in the world.

So what am I going to write about decisions decisions:-) hopefully keep you up to date with what is going on in the McAuley household.

I intend to start getting fit and eating heathly from Monday 1st September I refuse to use the word diet and hopefully by recording it on here I will stick to it....... well thats the plan.

Also in October I will be starting an Open University Course. Education is always something I wanted to persue but circumstances didn' t really allow me to.
