Wish Me Luck!

Rat Race


I know I am being a total bad-blogger at the minute, but I have lots of excuses!!


a) This darn cold is totally draining me, yesterday I slept for over 3 hours in the afternoon and was still tired.
b) I have an essay due in for Monday so I'm too busy reading 154 page curriculum reviews to do anything worth blogging about. Dullsvile.
c) I am busy preparing for my interview on Monday.



Oh what's that? Oh yes didn't I mention? I have an interview! Yay! Out of the schools I've been to view this one was my favourite. I have to prepare a lesson, a presentation, prep myself for the interview, think of clever things to say and decide what to wear! So I'm very sorry but I'm far too busy to sit here and chat - promise to catch up with you all soon.

Snaps of the Furries

My Life as a Wife


I had such a great time working with the little kids last week that they decided to give me a leaving present... germs. Now I'm not the sort of person why gets sick a lot, but this week I have been feeling horrendous. I'm congested, my throat is sore, I keep losing my voice by the early afternoon and it's leaving me feeling exhausted. Not great when I've got lots to do. 


Also the husband is becoming more and more busy at work meaning sometimes I'm not able to contact him for days on end.


All this = me not having very much fun. Huff.


So the other day when some natural light was coming through the windows, I decided to get out the camera and take a few cute shots of the furry things that live here, just to cheer myself up. It was impossible to get a picture of them together, but I promise that they really do like each other!

Post Wedding - The Honeymoon

Pretty Things


We woke up on Saturday morning as Husband and Wife and went to join our friends and family in the hotel for breakfast. We were heading straight to the airport, ready for our Sunday morning flight. The Mr had been telling me we were getting the train to the airport but I didn't believe him - a 2 hour train journey is not exactly the most glamorous start to a Honeymoon! So I was only a little surprised when a shiny car pulled up the hotel driveway...

Going Green

Pretty Things


It is my friend N's 22nd birthday today - Happy Birthday! - and to celebrate we are heading to Blackpool this Saturday for a cheap and cheerful night out. This also happens to be St Patrick's weekend. While stopping short of fancy dress (I love fancy dress!) she has decided to go for a green theme. Hummm... I don't not own ANYTHING green. I don't feel the colour suits me. However, I took to the internet for a quick browse, hopeful that I would find something.


My search was not very successful. These were the best of a bad bunch...

Making Tracks

My Life as a Wife

So far, I am still enjoying my rekindled relationship with running. However, I have managed to totally FAIL at using the MapMyRUN app.

But Showers, I hear you cry, it's so easy to use and convenient, right there on your phone. Yes my friends, yes it is.

I ran Saturday, Sunday, had a planned rest day on Monday and then went for a shorter run today.

Little Ones Make Me Smile :)

Rat Race


Sorry, today's post is going to be rather short and boring. I have just spend hours updating a website created for some ICT project, so want to get off my laptop ASAP!


But let's not talk about that...


Today was my first day on a new placement with... the little ones! Aged 4 - 5 years old, I really do love children at this age; full of mischief, questions and excitement. So this should be a fun week (until I come home to write essays / plan presentations).


But let's not talk about that...


Also I have now applied for three jobs, I think they are looking for someone more experienced, but it's nice to get the ball rolling.


Will be back soon with something more fun :)

All Things Wedding #4

Pretty Things

Catch up - All Things Wedding    #1    #2    #3

After the short but sweet ceremony, our guests helped themselves to reception drinks while we mingled outside, listened to the string quartet and took 7,103,479 pictures. OK, that might be an exaggeration, but it felt like that many photos.

For one of our group shots we had guests release purple balloons
