About Me

My photo
It would probably be better for someone else to describe me cos I'm not very good at this bit, but I'll do my best! I'm currently studying for an English Literature and Language Degree with the Open University. It's hard work but good fun and I've made lots of online friends. I was diagnosed with ME in 2009 which made study extremely difficult, but with the help of an excellent tutor and great learning support team at the OU, I managed to complete the year. Since then I have carried on and learnt to cope , managing my studies around the ME. I have a WONDERFUL husband who looks after me and three beautiful cats who I couldn't live without!

How Time Flies....

Well it's June already! Wow! We now have a new addition to the family in the form of Freddie, an adorable tabby & white kitten. He's 4months old now though we have had him just over a month. He's cute, naughty and a magical ball of mischief! He loves his cat tunnel, given to him by his pussy cat friend, Thyme (who would probably be terrified of him if she met him!) and he loves playing with anything that moves, including the tails of our other cats, Frankie and Leo! They are not too impressed with Freddie at the moment but haven't left home which is definitely a good sign. Ultimately Freddie is a Mummy's boy and when he needs his kitten nap it's to me he comes. He settles himself high up under my chin and cuddles in, going inside a fleece if I have one on, then accompanied by a purr to beat all purrs he does what cats do best and sleeps! 

We'll never forget Oscar, he truly was a Cat Unique, but its good to be a 'three-cat family' again!

Where does the time go?

Well 2012 has arrived and it's already nearly the end of January. Somehow the time just seems to fly by. Christmas seems so long ago now and it not long until Valentines Day. My Open University course starts next week and then it will be October before I know it as I'll be handing in a TMA (Tutor Marked Assignment) a month!

My husband and I have now been together for twelve years, although in April celebrate just four years of marriage. Still, there was a point when I (and quite a few others!) thought we wouldn't make it to the alter at all!

Yet despite time flying by so fast now, I think we all remember a time when we were kids, when time dragged on and we thought school would never end! Did time change? Did someone speed it up?!! I guess we just have to make the most of the time we have and cherish every moment of it.
