Things are coming to a close

Yesterday I cleaned my downstairs carpets - Yuck, I can't believe how dirty they were! I painted the dirty patches and old picture hook holes. And I washed all of Cheryn's bedding and clothing that she didn't take.

Cheryn went off so bravely and confidently. For those of you who don't know, I sent her off to the IOW early so that she can get sorted with school. She flew to Heathrow, met Patrick, then went on two trains, one ferry and then lastly a bus. She left us at 15:00 and got there at 21:00, it was a long day for her. She sounded excited when she had arrived and is enjoying herself so far.

Today it is the upstairs carpets and walls, and packing any extra clothing away that the family doesn't need now (shorts, costumes, etc...) Then tonight it is out with some friends for some socializing and food, I am looking forward to that.

Last week I did my final assessment in Hair Dressing. I am now a qualified Hair Dresser! It is so exciting. Last night we had a client come into the salon who just wanted a wash and blow dry, I was told that she was a client from Hell. I felt confident though, she loved the blow dry and even gave me a tip - something my lecturer has never seen her do - she is a regular there.

I love doing hair, I enjoy helping other people to feel good about them selves.

Well, that is all for now, I am getting to the point where I just feel excited about this move, I can't wait to get there. The next adventure in the lives of the Peter Bowen's!
