HOLIDAY! Hurray!

Although skanky weather we seem to be having - yet again. So much for cold winter hot summer.

Since my last post been very busy. Last week at school was really sad for me, I'm going to miss it A LOT and I miss my class already. Well, some of them anyway! The day after I left I went into my new school and sorted out the first week with my partner teacher. I'm not feeling great about the planning really, hope it all becomes a bit clearer and a bit more organised. The room was left bare with bits all over the floor (no carpet, argh!) so didn't do a lot in that till this week.

Thursday night Sax Tim and Ruth came and we went to see Harry Potter (again), then Friday had a very very wet trip to Alton Towers where I got so wet that I couldn't even tell if it was raining anymore. Oh and I was nearly sick after banging my head on Nemesis. So a bit of a disaster really. Then Tim's car wouldn't start. Not the most successful day!

Friday evening I went out for my leaving do. A meal at Ask in Lichfield, then a few minutes in a questionable bar then into Apres for the rest of the night. It was great to be out with a group like that again, not been out out since before me and Chris broke up. Great night, although loads of really short blokes. Granted I was wearing silly shoes that made me about 6'1" but still, they were mega short!

Saturday Matt and Beckie came down and then the 5 of us went away to Much Wenlock for Mum and Dad's 30th wedding anniversary. It was lovely but I was soooooo tired and then it rained loads which was a shame.

Monday I went into school to make a start on my room, not easy when a lot of the display paper is squished. Got it looking a bit tidier, went back in yesterday to put a rug and some cushions in, make it a bit more appealing. It doesn't look bad now, but am still feeling a bit restless about it all.

The rest of the week has been spent cutting out, going to the dentist and having a major clean. Not quite finished the clean yet but it's getting there.

Plans for the next few days...well tomorrow it's finishing cleaning hopefully. Sunday I'm going to Leilah-May's christening, will be great to see Toni-Ann again, not seen her since before she was married. Then Beckie's coming ready for our trip to Longleat on Monday till Wednesday where we will (in my head) meet Ben Fogle! Wednesday night is my bead party, then after that I have a few days off without the parents.

This post is really not very interesting. It's a big catch up I suppose. This summer so far is really different to last summer. Last summer for the first couple of weeks I spent every day in school getting prepared, every evening (cos parents away), cutting and sticking and printing, hardly eating anything at all. I guess it was a way of coping. Although I found myself longing for that this week, I wish I could do more for school this year because I feel so underprepared. I also know that I still need to keep reasonably busy, because I know that if I don't the darkness creeps in and I fall to bits. I found this today a bit. I decided yesterday I was going to give my room a really good spring clean today, and then got up and got started and then got to a point after about an hour of not knowing what to do, and sitting on my bed staring at rubbish music TV and faffing. And I had to really force myself to get up and carry on.

Ohhhhh this all makes no sense. I'm going to go to bed now.
