Long time no hear

So, I think the first thing I need to be saying is "Sorry it's been so long since my last post".

Nearly a year has gone by since my last post. A hectic year it has been too. In brief, here's what has been happening..... I will add individual posts in the coming weeks to share in more detail.

 

• The building works continued and we finally got the major works done by January this year.  We have just about finished now apart from the odd cosmetic jobs but enthusiam and funds have run low.
• Emily had a couple of seizures at school.
• Emily had to be referred to a Clinical Psychologist due to her ever increasing anxiety issues.
• Introduction of ICT equipment in to school for her.
• Annual review at school.
• We took a well deserved holiday to Florida - Disney.
• Emilys eye sight deteriorated - requiring surgery [very stressful].
• During the stresses of Emilys eye issues we escaped and had a last minute family holiday to Butlins.
• Emilys Grandma [my Mum] had a heart attack.
• 17q21.31 Micro-deletion Syndrome became something else!!
• One-to-One education continued at home whilst off school and WoW.... thinking this is the way forward for Em.

 

 

Hoping all my blog readers are well.  I will do my first update shortly.

 

See ya soon.

Week 3 and 4 - The Build

At week 3 and 4 we aren't having to use our imagination quite so much ~ it is starting to take shape...



and the bricks have arrived - yippeeeee.

Week 2 - The Build

The machinery [and men of course!] have been busy, busy, busy



The very very deep hole is complete ready for the foundations

We encountered a little problem based around the water pipes but was overcome by going deeper than planned and bridging the pipework [under the instructions of Mr Building Inspector]

It means that we have an 8ft deep hole around our house ~ not a good mix with young children and being on the path side of the house, hence the wire fencing to keep it as safe as possible

  

I've lost count of how many skips came emply and left us 'over' full

1, 2, 3, 4............. no  definately more than that.

School Dayz..

Both my little beauties are back at school

Wishing you both a wonderful School Year full of Fun, Laughter and Learning

Let the work begin....

It's taken us many many months to get to this stage ~ yet more red tape and bureaucracy we found ourselves having to navigate - but like most things we got there in the end.

We are trying to plan for the future and ensure that our family home [which has been in my family for 5 generations now] is suitable for Emily as she grows up and will enable her to have the independance she will need as the years pass.

So I was very excited when these little babies landed on my premises.....

   

Each week I will try to add a picture so you can share in our journey and stresses. 

Exciting times..

[These images aren't up to date - the work commenced a couple of months ago so we are quite far on with the development]
