Um... not a deal. Never really satisfied with myself, as I tend to make mistakes when it comes to decisions. We moved house, and my husband found a job after being made redundant in 2006. Made major progress on my family tree, got my kids in a slightly better school. Bought camping gear and went camping - something we've meant to do for 3 years. Now we've got all the stuff we'll be going a lot in 2008, which is great for me as I find it hard going out sometimes so its like a major holiday to go somewhere and enjoy it.

I completed my access to higher education course (a level standard) and got enough credits to get my QAA which meant I could start my degree in Cultural Studies in September.

Well done to you all didn't take long to say what you have done but it all takes a long time and a lot of effort to do!

You wouldn't believe what I have done it is so ordinary, and it's going to get better with help next year from a phychologist x

Well done Kitty - although small to you it must be fantastic for the boy & his parents - I'd love to do sign language

Sally I'm sure your MIL could not cope without you - keep up the good work.
