PDA Finished

At last my PDA is finished and in the post First class recorded. I have completed this in 8 months rather than the 2 years allowed. Lots of hard work while also untertaking year one of the BA degree at the same time. Today I just hav the marking for SQA to do and then its back to the current module of the BA. Plan to have it finished for next monday.
I have noticed that some other researchers are making comments that this module was not timed right. As they are in a school environment holidays etc were a problem. Holidays provided me with a greater number of children to take part in the trial as I cared for them over the holidays.

Never mind back to work and head down to finish this module and start the next. The next one is the last in the first year. Hip Hip hurray. I don`t know what I am going to do with my time over the summer. i may introduce myself to my family, cook some decent meals and even tidy my house - What a treat for us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

back at the old grind stone again

Have been busy with the food trials and have now completed them. Everything went well, kids loved food, parents loved the ease of it all and the knowledge that their child was eating healthy food. I am knackered. I have been running about making all sort of lovely home made food and then when the children go away I have been eating rubbish as I am too knackered to prepare all the nice stuff for my family. If I am to continue this as an ongoing service, I will have to be more organised. i usually am and do batch cooking etc but somehow my brain has been frazzled by the whole thing. So frazzled in fact that I think I even agreed to continue providing food. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. It will be worth it in the end I think. Just think lovely healthy children growing up but a frazzled childminder in an early grave. There has to be an easier way to earn a living.
