Week 12 - 18th to 24th March 2010
What a week!!!
We were surprised last Friday with a lump sum deposited in our bank account. After investigation it became clear that we had at last been awarded Disability Allowance for Christopher which will make things so much easier on all of us financially. Then, just a few days later 2 more payments appeared! I have been awarded carers allowance and we also got tax credits on his behalf. It seems so strange that finally everything is working out for us. I'm not used to that. We are now going to claim a grant for replacing his bed and the washing machine.
Although we are glad of the money and it means there is less pressure on me to find a job, It still hurts that he actually needs the benefits, I just wish I had my little boy healthy.
Christopher took part in Sports Relief this week doing a sponsored mile with the Scouts, they went hiking in Cadzow Glen. Then again on Friday at school by doing laps of the playground.
Me and Fi went to see Alice in Wonderland on Friday in 3D and it was AWESOME!
Robert went out on Friday night and then had a funeral at 10am Saturday morning. Babs was also there and fainted Again. she always passes out in church, i joke that she is possessed!
Last of all... the big one!
Christopher had his first Tae Kwon Do grading and is now 9th Kup. He got yellow tags to add to his belt and i could not be prouder!
Week 11 - 11th to 17th March 2010
Saturday Night was party time again! It was my best friend's boyfriend's birthday last Monday and Saturday we had an American Theme party. We all made american food and i even painted my nails and my eyes in american flags!
It was Mother's Day here in the UK this Sunday. I've been coveting this gorgeous red/black snakeskin bag - Yes I admit it.. My name is Alyson and I am a bag ho! We went to Papum & Granny J's (robert's dad and mum) and Christopher was out playing with his buddy Mark. Robert made breakfast and then we sat and chilled out. then Christopher came in and gave me my present telling me to hurry up because Mark was waiting!
He made me a lovely card at school and bought me the bag and a teddy and a box of my favourite sweets. Once i opened them he ran back out to play!
robert made dinner for everyone to save him Mum cooking.
Week 10 - 4th to 10th March 2010
Another pretty standard week! No ups No downs. Granny K (my mum) came to visit and brought Christopher a fabulous Robot that walks, talks, dances and shoots rubber discs! Awesome!
We played the Eragon board game and generally just hung out enjoying some family time!

February in Review Layout
February was just a regular lazy month! We had a little Snow, went on some trips and had family time. The highlight was my baby boy being a Standard Bearer for Scouts. He made me so proud!
