Today across the country most of the children are going back to school. I had the pleasure of waking up at 8am to get my girlfriend’s son ready to go to school. He was really excited to be going back too.

He was looking forward to seeing his friends again and to having fun. It’s been a really bad summer break for the children around this area. We’ve had nothing but rain really. He did get to go to Chester zoo though and apparently it was scortching hot there.

Some of us have to work so it’s not possible to go for an extended holiday abroad and it’s not the best time to travel with the economy in the state that it is. I actually prefer staying at home to travelling.

I’ve never really been abroad that much although I did live in Germany for four months back in the nineties. It was to do with where I was working at the time and it was a real eye opener. Learning German was a bit too much for me though.

Anyhow, now that the children are back at school I’ll start on a series of posts about things that they might need at school. I know that Josh wanted a load of things. To be honest he didn’t actually need anything, just wanted… lol.

I remember when I was at school and the excitement of a new school year would bring. I wish I could go back to that time to be honest, everything was much simpler in those days. No worries, no loans and no stress. Make the most of you time at school children, it’s definately worth it.
