Well hello there!

Well hello there! Oh dear things have gone a bit to pot with the old blogging.

Excuses?

Oh the usual, work and life.

Work has been hectic, my poor friend who happens to be a colleague too is off on long term sick leave. We've all been so worried about her She's going to be off a few months but she's on the mend now. I shan't bore you with the life stuff, just the same old stresses which certainly bore me.

Enough is enough though and got to get my butt back into gear!

It's frustrating because it was all going so well, but hey that's life.

Oh some very good new though, today I signed my first ever prescription! I had mixed emotions, excitement that I was able to do it but nerves too as it's one hell of a responsibility. But it's all good. It will be interesting tomorrow and so much easier being able to sign my own prescriptions.

Right time for bed and I will be back again soon...

Tackling my bucket list and meeting some meerkats!

*Warning pic heavy post*

The countdown has begun...

Oh hey, remember me?

Wow August was the last time I posted Well the countdown has begun,...

Just to remind you, for the best part of this year I have been doing a non-medical prescribing course which has been a lot of hard work and stress but it's nearly all over. I have passed my exams and the final stage now is the course work which is due to be handed in on the 29th. I'm just making the last few tweaks to the work and I've got a couple of bits to get signed off and then it's all done! I can not tell you how much that excites me!

So a few more days and I can get back to blogging and all the things that I love and enjoy to do. I have had to put so many things on the back burner whilst doing this course and will be so glad to have more time on my hands. I finally hope to have the time to give some TLC to my blog and help it grow! 

Ok, so I'll be seeing you soon, hopefully a slightly less stressed and pressured lady (of course there will still be the pressures of work but knowing my free time will be my own again will really help).

Turbulent times, a portent of doom?

Hello again!

How you all doing?

Well its been a turbulent time in the Rigby household hence my absence from blogging. But I'm back and here to tell you all about it...

Two and a half weeks ago my Dad had a little bit of a disaster, tripping  over, hitting his hip on the stone hearth of our fire place and breaking his hip. This resulted in him having a very unexpected hip replacement from which he is now thankfully recovering, Looking at the silver lining of things, it was his bad hip that had been play up, causing backache due to arthritis so lets hope once he is fully recovered that pain will have gone.

So between hospital visits and my newest course being in full flow now and work is just crazy busy, I've not had time to be posting here or doing anything bloggy, like visiting some of my favorite blogs.

Yoo hoo! Anyone there? I'm back!

Hey, remember me? Kate here. Wow, I haven't checked out my blog for ages. It's been well and truly neglected!

Sheesh! My last post was back in October and that was just a quickie.

 So what have I been up to? Well between life, stress, exams and study, it's all been crazy busy!  I just haven't had the time or inclination to get on my computer and write my posts. Well I finally got the good new that I passed both my OSCE's which was a huge relief!

Weekend catch up.

Can you believe we're over half way through May! This year is just whooshing on by.  I suppose since we're getting near to half way through the year I'll have to be reviewing my new year post and the goals I hoped to achieve this year.  Today lets just have a little catch up.

The last week and a half has been pretty busy, which generally seems to be how my life is at the moment.  Last Thursday week my Mum went in for her 2nd knee replacement.  Bless her, its a horrendous operation but she has done really well and was discharged home after 6 days which is much better then last time when she was in for 8 days.  She would of come out on day 5 but they kept her an extra day to make sure her kidney function was improving because one of the tablets she had been taken had affected them.  She is getting there though.

Last Sunday I had a lovely day at the Fluff-a-torium in Dorking and made a lovely bag that I am seriously chuffed with but I'll tell you all about that tomorrow in my 'Crafty side of me' post.
