My Pandora's Box

For those that have met me, will know that I am a very positive person and that althougth I have my ups and downs, I am not down for long

I have found in my life that this positivity has been a blessing in many ways. But deep within my soul I have a Pandora's Box and occasionally this box is flung wide open to reveal its content to the world.

I have just seen this on facebook and my tears are now flowing

Today is International Baby Loss Awaireness Day

Please spare a thought for all those souls, who never had the chance to see life and say a small prayer for all the grieving parents around the world

I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Cherished always

Podge and another year older!!!

Well another year older yesterday, I would like to say that time flies when you are having fun!!! but this year, as you know, life has had its ups and downs and the same could be said for yesterday.
The day started well with cards and phone calls but went down hill fast when I went to my car, pulled out of the drive and nooooooooooo power at all.
So off we goes to the garage and I am now £100 lighter, that on top of paying for the road fund licence and timing belt at £425 a few weeks ago ................if I could post a very unhappy face I would, LOL.
The day ended with a very cheesed off hubby, who was in a mood!!!! Men always pick those days don't they. Now if it was me I would have made the effort to be nice to him, but nooooo thats too much to ask........................good job I love him, that's what I say.
Luckily I had purchased my own present awhile back from my local bear shop, its a small shop in Bourne and jam packed to the rafters with loads of bears.......................just a feast to your eyes.
So if ever you are around my neck of the woods, it's well worth a visit
Teddy Bear and Friends of Bourne
Ok I know you are wanting to ask which bear said "take me home". Well it was "The Bell Boy" by Steiff, he is a sumptuous pearl grey fella and gorgeous.

I also update my website yesterday and added a wee bear called "Podge"
I hope you like him, he has a very rotund appearance and I am very pleased with how he turned out, I hope you agree

Well another day, another pound, so have to go now. Hope you all have a lovely weekend
Beary Hugs

PS It's Christmas Day 11 weeks today LOLOLOL xx

Lost, facebook and life !!!

I am feeling quite upbeat at the mo, after what can only be described, in the dear words of our Queen, as an Annis Horriblus. Everything now seems to be heading in the right direction and the season of goodwill is just around the corner (14 weeks!!!!)

Last week our daughter returned to college to start A levels, nothing unusual about that, but believe me it has been a fight. It all started 2 years ago, when we went to her secondary school to pick up her GCSE results, to say she was gutted was an understatement (3 A-C's the rest D's). She did not achieve the grades she required to do A levels. Needless to say she was devistated

I do believe that our schools are failing our children. During her time at school she had no homework, no books and any work done was not returned marked. Suffice it to say they announced the schools closure last week.

My biggest concern is that the education system teaches our children that you have to go to university, that no other life exists. I have always tried to teach her that she is a valuable human being and she can achieve anything, if she works at it.

That was borne out by her attitude these last two years, where she upped her English and Maths grades to a respectable C (even though the college discovered her to be dyslexia) Whilst at the same time doing a Business and Retail course, followed by a further Business course.
She has gone from her 3 little GCSE's to the equivalent of 10, 1 AS at A grade and a full A level. Due to changes in her course she made the decision to swap to A level, it was not easy and she was full of self doubt, not me though, the result.......................

She is loving every minute of it

My daughter, through determination is now following her dream.
So if you have a dream, however small, take little steps today, tomorrow you could be on your way to better things.

On a personal front I have finally joined Facebook, I can be found under FenBeary Folk. It has been a revelation, I have loads of friends already, so if you want to be my friend...........

Bear wise I have just listed wee "Lost" he is one of my aged bears and he has such a sweet face, his adoption fee is £45 +p&p

Told you he was sweet LOL!!!
