News at Ten.... ish! in It's a Suhaila!

My sister is home from university, and it’s great to have her back around for a few weeks. Can’t believe that when she goes back she’ll be doing her BSc finals. She’s wanting to do an MSc and has applied and a lot of it will ride on how she does in her exams.

Because of that, I’ve not been spending as much time with her as I’d like to as I know how important it is she has time for revision and study. I’m also continuing my study flow too, and mum complained this week when she wanted the dining room table and discovered two sets of books strewn all over it! But then again, at least we’re making efforts, unlike some I used to see in college who would just turn up and doss it for the few years and not care.

I’m hoping Salena can stay until at least my birthday later this month - I’d really love to have her around. It’ll also be my first birthday as a mum - this time last year Jasmine was a very big bump!

Speaking of Jasmine, she’s definitely growing and learning - twice this week she’s pulled herself up on to her feet and stayed there, she’s not clinging on to things so much now and I think her first steps are not very far away. I hope Salena is here to see them.

I saw Scott last night. Salena came with me as she was keen to meet him, and I did ask Scott if it was okay. We just ended up in a local pub, had a few drinks - J2O for me! - before he came back home with us. And he passed the Salena test (she thinks he’ll be good for me). He didn’t stay too long as I was making sure Jasmine was properly settled for the night, plus with Salena and parents round, we didn’t get any opportunities to… well…

It’s going to happen though, I’m sure of it, and quite soon. I feel I am ready to show him that I love him enough.

As it’s late, and Jasmne is asleep, I’m going to have a late night girly night geeky DVD watching session with Salena. Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it!
