Well, the kids' club went okay in the end, Sam sang despite his strained voice, yay for Sam!! The people doing the play did well too, even though they hadn't been able to practise beforehand. I always find it hard to actually evaluate how things went objectively when I'm the one running them, I tend to be too negative, I'm trying to stop doing that, so I'll say that the club went well, we played some fun games, much mess was made and tidied away afterwards fairly quickly. Not that many kids were there, but those that were seemed to have fun.

Our boiler didn't work this weekend, which was most frustrating. I stayed in this morning waiting for someone to come and fix it. I'd called an engineer out obviously, I wasn't just waiting on the off chance that someone might turn up, that would be stupid. Anyway, he didn't come for ages and I was getting worried 'cos I had to get to work, then I figured I'd give it one more go and di exactly the same as we'd tried numerous times, pushed in the gas thing and clicked the ignition and it worked! Yay, that saved me £65 or whatever, that's a guess, 'cos that's what it cost last time, I guess if they had to actually replace parts it'd be a lot more, last time they just unclogged something. Weird though that no amount of pressing the ignition would get it started over the weekend. Slightly worrying, 'cos I guess it could go at any time, I'm just hoping it'll last a bit longer, I can't afford a new boiler now.

Maybe I'll actually go swimming tomorrow. For the last week I've been saying that I'll start going swimming, in an attempt to get fit, mainly though because I like swimming, it's the only sport I was ever any good at, well, I was all right at canoeing as well, but I didn't bother going very far with that. Anyway, in the past I didn't feel like going to the Leisure centre despite it being right by my house, because I was working during school time, so I'd have only been able to go when there were kids there and possibly kids from my shool, which is not what you want as a teacher. Now of course I'm not a teacher, and I have mornings free, so I could go in the mornings, not every morning, I'm not going to set myself some unrealistic daily exercise thing that I'll just never do and feel bad about. I figure if I just decide to go occassionally then I might manage that. Thing is it does get boring swimming, I'll have to think of some way to make it more interesting. I'm trying to persuade Helen to come.
