27/02/09

Friday was a day where my T-shirt got much discussion time...i bought it the day before at the netball game! it is a lovely t-shirt but what is mega is that it's a childs size shirt, an 11year old size shirt AND IT FITS ME!!! whoop whoop haha

26/02/09

Today was the day of my FIRST organised trip! Netball V Jamaica! It was such a lovely evening of sport with 45 girls who were a real asset to the school...I'm feeling quite chuffed and proud of them! And England won the game and series too, with Karen Atkinson earning her 100th International cap! On Sky Sports Xtra toms at 7.30 if you fancy some Dana watching!

25/02/09

Today my evening...well until 2am was spent marking BTEC assignments that I had taken in that day! I needed to do it all in one night ready for hand back Friday...On a trip Thursday so no time then! grrrr paperwork is dull :(

24/02/09

Today I was finally given all the keys I need to do my job!! Only 22 weeks into the year...

23/02/09

New half term today...and it was alright, my form won inter-form hockey so I'm rather proud! Once home Haleema had bought a new PC but didn't allow me to take a snap of anything more than the boxes! Also she then offered me two cream buns and I took the challenge of attempting to eat them both - but it was too big a task for me, i felt morbidly ill immediately and had to bin most of it! Funny face pulling was made and worse by the fact that i genuinely felt quite sick and was laughing! mmmm tasty! haha :S

22/02/09

Rounders rounders rounders...and this is my beauty of a bat!

21/02/09

Today I got my new bike!! It is big and strong and gave me a sore behind after an 8 mile ride home from the bike shop...it's hopefully the bike i will do the TPT with! need to get some semi-slick tyres though

20/02/09

Today Jen and I went to Ainsdale beach and into Southport for lunch...I bumped into Amber who I play cricket with and also on my way back I made a stop off at a nearby town and was bombarded by pupils I taught who were all very eager to chat to 'Miss Apples and Cream'! It was brilliant! Whilst in Southport we spotted this sexy motor so both had a snap taken by it - does anyone know what model of jaguar it is???

19/02/09

Today was day 1 of my return to liverpool staying with Jen...we went to the world museum and met sunshine at the planeterium and then went to the fashion v sport exhibition in the walker gallery before dinner in ormskirk where my dress was the talk of the table next to us, 'where is your dress from? somewhere foreign?'...'monsoon!' haha

18/02/09

Today i designed some new stamps for the england squad i coach...here is the finished design! I also bought a new bike today however will save an image for saturday when i collect it and cycle home! in liverpool for the next two nights so might not get pictures online within the days but will certainly have snaps to share!

17/02/09

Today I have been having a life sorting day...but in an afternoon away from that I went and was slightly gullable in front of my sister. She asked me to lick this oraange rock candle we have so I did without hesitation - however it is made from SALT so I then dramatically revulsed and made all kinds of silly faces to the utter bemusement of my sister. And I have a degree dontcha-know! haha

16/02/09

Today I got a lovely parcel from Rounders England...in-line with the new funding (2million!) we have a new logo so here is my complimentary t-shirt, pen and memory stick by way of thanking me for my many hours as a volunteer - joy!

15/02/09

This evening my sisters and I went to see Slumdog at the cinema...on the way we danced to beyonce and girls aloud in the car, very cool I tells you! The film was amazing - and is worthy of all the awards! Once we got home we all tried the new walkers crisps...OMG how disgusting! The builders breakfast was honestly like chewing on a fart...terrible!

14/02/09

The big V day...was quite eventful actually, england rounders, heart shaped cake and fox watching! No picture on line as its of my U15 squad and am not allowed, so you will just have to imagine the image...haha

13/02/09

FOG!!! this is all that could be seen...

12/02/09

Today was my brothers birthday and also my worst day of ill...so Dave, a colleague gave me this goo he'd made in his science lesson to help with the pain i felt during an after school meeting!

11/02/09

This is a picture of me pointing at the moon after a night out to the cinema...went to see 'he's just not that into you' - a good watch, but there was far too much I could identify with! Oh and I'm still feeling pants with ill urgh! But the royal marines did come into work to day to brighten my mood.

10/02/09

Today I have sucumbed to the ill that is sweeping my house...I got in from work and promptly collapsed on the lounger, so here is an image of me snoozing taken by a brother that felt the moment was too much to ignore! I hate being full of ill urgh...

09/02/09

Today I was supposed to be going out to see a film after a rather difficult day at work...but my sisters were poorly so we cancelled. I kid of had a paddy at this turn of events so vandalised this image of my sister that I'd taken...

08/02/09

Deja-vu anyone? Snow has fallen heavily again....and its still coming down! I really hope we don't have another destructive week! urgh

07/02/09

Today I went shopping and bought a real mish mash of items included were pink pumps, a farmers shirt and purple tights...had lunch at pizza hut though which was nice!! Ate the fittest pudding - a hot choc chip cookie dough dessert - was lush!! I did share the massive thing, wasn't a total fatty!

06/02/09

Today I was in Leeds at an Aerobics course, which was much fun and lots of sweating...the venue was a health club within 'The Light' shopping and entertainment complex, next to a cinema. On my way back to my car I walked past this poster for a new film - I don't really know if it's a legitimate film; I'm kind of pondering the chances of such a movie, very much in the same way I did with Teeth last year! Made me laugh out loud though at the many possibilities of the story line!! If anyone knows if this is a real film please tell me...haha

05/02/09

MORE SNOW!!! started the day a bit white...but by 8.30am we were under 15cms of snow and it was still falling, so at 9.30am school was shut and the staff took advantage of the weather and had a snow ball fight with senior staff!! When I eventually got home, after side slipping down the road and free wheeling into an on-coming lorry I was greeted by this snow fellow that Omar, my brother had created on our front lawn! Check out the fashionable trilby! haha

04/02/09

Today I finally received my certificates from the British Gymnastics do-dah saying that I was a level 2 qualified trampolining instructor!! Mega! All lessons now will be on the elastic bad boys in the gym...lurrrves it! Day three of snow news and rotherham is still white - and expecting a heavy fall tonight :(

03/01/09

Today having driven for 1.5hours to get to school i then found out we were closed!!! so turned (free-wheeled) my car around and headed home...the slow traffic pace did let me get this cracking shot of the sun this morning, and also a really nice picture of the school at 9 am - EMPTY! usually the fields would be full of children trying to avoid their first lesson of the day...back tomorrow though!

02/02/09

OMG snow!!! Snow everywhere...it has been brilliantly frustrating...a day in school with snow ball fights at every possible break in the day! This was the view this morning before the children arrived and carnage ensued! Tomorrow is guaranteed to be whiter and more war zone than learning zone - don't you just love British weather? haha

01/02/09

Snow!!! More snow...lots of snow!! I went running in it this morning...hid under a duvet from it this afternoon and played with it after seeing a film with my sister!! I drove down my road making ski-turns rather than straight and then as you can see wrote a very true fact on the ground! haha

31/01/09

I spent my day doing all the adding up at the regional round (yorkshire and humberside) of the national schools netball...it was freezing but i was indoors!! I then came home to open my mail and within it was this 'lovely' rounders england pen haha!!

30/01/09

It has been a tough week...and this image across my front lawn concluded my hectic week - this is the first time this week i have got home before darkness, and my body is exhausted!! Nice view though...

29/01/09

This is a picture of my new 'feet'...they are adidas bounce trainers and if i say so myself are a bit woo!!

28/01/09

Today has been a long day...had school, aerobics club and then a parent tutor meeting until 6pm so got home very tired and very low on endorphines! So have lifted my spirits by eating some naughty food - specifically cola bottles, but look --> Haribo, and it's HALAL!! wooo good times :)

27/01/09

This is a picture of my Monkey that lives in Archie - My car!...I often have grumbles to my monkey on the way home from school as he tends to listen and not argue back - everyone needs a vent, this chappy is mine :)

26/01/09

I was worried I wouldn't have anything to upload today however on my way home I passed the Rotherham base for Corus, which today announced that it was cutting it's workforce...bad times for my town! So here is a snap shot of the TV crews outside the Corus centre - this time I did stop the car and get out to take a safe picture especially for AJT...

25/01/09

Today I was part of the PE team that rocked up to Birmingham's NIA arena for the national indoor hockey champs...it was an ace day, Bowden Hightown winning, getting our faces on sky sports 2, having my face painted and bumping into Alice and Catherine who were sat in the rows behind my school kids!! Small world hey?!...

24/01/09

This is what I have been doing all day...paperwork!!! Finding evidence in my files...so tedius BUT tomorrow I'm watching hockey so much more fun!! woo
