What a start to the day! As you know I had my first aid course to go to today that I was dreading. So I got up and surprisingly felt pretty calm about it. As i've said before that is not unusual as its the anticipatory anxiety that causes me the most trouble. When my colleague picked me up I felt the panic rising but only mildly and to give her her due she is great company and very chatty so the journey passed quite quickly. We expected there to be much more traffic than there was due to it being rush hour and we were heading into town, but, surprisingly we managed it with no problems at all. Because of this we arrived 30 minutes early. We toyed with the idea of going somewhere for a coffee first but decided against it incase we couldn't park on our return, so we sat it out. 20 to 9 came and we were still the only ones on the carpark, 10 to 9 and you've guessed it we were still the only ones on the carpark. The traffic was now heavier and it had started to snow so we thought that maybe people were held up. As it came to 5 to 9 I thought something must be wrong so I checked the details I had. We had the right date, right time and right place. Hmmm. I looked for a contact number on the details, the course was being run by St Johns Ambulance. No contact details! So I was just about to ring work when Hubby rang me form work to say did we realise that the course had been cancelled and not just this morning but on the 7th!!! Apparantly the secretary had told the deputy, they had both erased it from their diaries but forget to tell us. They were still blaming each other when we arrived back to school an hour later and full of apologies. We drove very leisurely back and stopped off for a coffee at Mcdonalds so weren't that bothered. So I still can't be trusted to stick a plaster or icepack on anyone until further notice. Well sometime in June the secretary thinks? Heaven help us. That should give me plenty of time to worry about the next time. But on a positive, I survived it and relatively unscathed.
Tea tonight was chicken breasts with savoy cabbage, leeks and mashed potatoes. Lovely comfort food on a cold evening. Think I may make a chilli tomorrow night for a change. I will make a small portion of vegetable chilli for myself and have it with rice. Thinking of making some rice with a few vegies in and maybe some curry powder and sultanas to take for my lunch as i'm sick of sandwiches and the other option is a school dinner which most of the time are inedible.These dinners are so bad that the staff eat free and don't want them!



Right everyone i'm off to bed. Think all that excitement today has finally caught up with me. So I'll love you and leave you. Have a good Tuesday and take care.
