ailbheTomorrow I get to go to a study day on the other side of town. I'm looking forward to it. I have to leave the house before 08:30 though, which is a bit early for a Saturday morning!
We had another tutorial in my house this week. I'm beginning to understand why venues charge so much for hire. I'd be heating the place anyway, but as an example, this week's two-hour session (which extended to three hours) used up half a pot of liquid soap and half a roll of toilet paper, as well as the children's drinks and snacks and the negligible cost of boiling the kettle for the adults' drinks. I asked the tutor to bring more coffee next time as I'd just resent it if I was buying coffee in specially on top of the rest.
However, we have only four more sessions to go and since they are funding my training I can afford to give a little loo roll and soap! I'll be qualified to volunteer on the phoneline when this course is over, which is great, because it's much easier on my own children than going to the groups, and it involves a lot less housework (at least once the training sessions are done). Though to be fair it's ages since I was the only one cleaning up after the groups; going on strike helped a lot there.
I'm not at all sure I'll ever be able to volunteer on the maternity wards. But that's ok.
