Well the big green family tree went down a storm with Alister's teacher.  He told me he stood up in front of the class and explained that his gran and grandad are at the top and the ladies on the tree who are now a Blair have their maiden names shown and that my brothers kids are his cousins. He got a big clap from the whole class. He said he was really jealous because one of his friends did a big family tree too.  We had a chat about it and it turns out her mum drew the outline of a tree and his friend stuck on photos of her family and it wasnt coloured in.  His was a big green tree he painted himself and he drew pictures of everyone himself and wrote their names.  He cheered up loads after that, bless him!

So i went to Dundee today.  1hr 40 mins on bus there and I caught up on 3 programmes i needed to watch for Uni, saw the solicitor, went for a coffee with my mum, got the bus back and got a load of studying done.  Alister had gone home from school with his pal Josh and his mum, Steph, and I met them at their house.  The boys had their tea then Steph and I had a chinese. Got home about 7.30 and am now a big lazy blob on the sofa.  Looking forward to a day in the house tomorrow with no plans.

Alister is off for half term Wed-Fri this week - typical it had to be the days I work!  He will come in with me and wath dvds or something.  Might take Thursday afternoon off to break the week up a wee bit for him.

Right, think i'll head to bed folks.

Night all.
Big luv
Jill
