OFSTED!!!

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooo

Who needs a sofa when you have a new snowboard :)


E was excited... look at the stance... natural (noddy too!)


I guess I was excited too :)


So it arrived :) and I am very very pleased - looks almost as if its not been used!! a couple of very miner scratches as you would expect on the underside apart from that great :) All I need now is boots and bindings - whats the liklyhood before the snow warning on Friday???? hmmmm

If all else fail I could use it to aim for my ex as he comes up the track to collect E ha ha - oops! (actually that might harm the board best not!)

Snow Time!

Ok so I finally won a board I was after on e-bay. I got sooo cheesed off by the dupers who came in 30 seconds before a sale was due to end and sneak in with a bid 11p more than mine - not amused...

So cunning I know but since the sale was due to end at 2.27pm on Friday afternoon I set my year 8 class off on some control work and switched e-bay discreetly on - as I thought someone came in about 1 min before the end of sale but I was there ready to pounce lol - the results are above - can't wait now since snow is forecast for Thursday - only problem is I need it to get here before then and I need bindings and boots lol. Anyway C came round for a girly evening to celebrate and generally chill on Friday evening so we packed away a bit of wine and got a box office movie on sky which we chatted all the way through lol typical women!!! Oh and of course managed a choc fondu with marshmallows and fruit tee hee.

Anyway marking kids work today (year 7 - control) the question was: Name three differences between a lollipop lady/man and a pelican crossing?... here are some of the answers I got:


* You might not like the lollies the lollypop lady has.
* There are no pelicans on a pelican crossing.
* One might die if a car does not stop.


Made me laugh anyway :)

A short poem take 2 - from poo to wee!!!!

Tinkly Tinkly Wee
An accident oh dearie
The bath waters yellow
I hope it doesnt smell "oh"
Whoops silly me!!!!


Ok so we progressed from poo to wee - and can I just point out E does actually get out the bath to wee - as do I ;)

A short poem by Me and E!

Plinkity plinkity....Poo!
The keys gone down the loo
Now I'm in here and your out there
What ever shall we do?


Me and E have taken to making up poems and she contributes the theme with a feature word - of course her word last night happened to be Poo! However she was impressed with the rest :)

Had a quiet weekend - E went to her dad's, he's not seen her for weeks as he has been too busy so I really missed her this weekend (more than usual) as I kinda got used to not having a break from her so me and mum went shopping (as all women do when they are feeling down) good news is I got nearly all my christmas shopping done and all wrapped - bloody amazing for me anyone who knows me!

However I yet again found out some information 3rd Hand which should have come from the horses mouth (cyptic I know but hey), its amazing how the ignorance of some people can really hurt.

That and a member of my mum's side of the family died last week :( Anyone in the know will know why November is not a good month for me - lets just put it this way - my mum has promised she aint gonna pop her cloggs in November!

Anyway onwards and upwards as I'm choreographing the year 7 concert at school which takes place on Wednesday which is errrrm interesting but fun and I love watching the music teacher getting stressed - evil i know ;)

Oh the pics by the way are on the way back home from shopping on Sunday :)

The Mystery of the Missing Braun Hand Held Multi-Blender

The Story so far.....

A few weeks ago S from next door popped round to ask if he could borrow the above said kitchen utensil and being the lovely neighbour I am I said of course thinking that R was making soup or something along those lines.... ooooh no!

The next thing I know is S has sent me a text saying something along the lines of "I have taken your blender hostage" (he really needs to get new material), he also said that he was in South Africa on business at the time and that it had somehow managed to get into his suitcase and therefore he would return it asap!!!! ... the plot thickens...

So anyway a month or so passes and I didnt need it and like me I completely forgot about it - that was until this weekend... I had my mum stopping with me (being that time of year) and I was making home made fish cakes, I was in the middle of poaching the fish and boiling the potatoes when I realised I needed to make breadcrumbs and remembered about the blender so I rang next door. S was out and R answered the phone and said "if you want it back you have to speak to S I don't know where it is"????? I questioned for a little bit saying well surely I can just come round and get it when she said "Please speak to Steve I have nothing to do with it as he does not have it here and I am fed up having a go at him about it" - needless to say I sent a text to S who responded saying "You can't have it back, I can't get hold if it! can't you use your blender" - of course I did as I'd forgotten about the other one but he promised to explain later in the week when he gets back home.

So tonight S baby sat for me whilst I went to night class and when I got back I of course questioned him as I was completely puzzled....

As it turns out S had borrowed it for his business!!!! (would have been nice to know) and the blender is currently in one of the Labs at ICI Wilton - he assures me that no horrid chemicals are being used however I feel a new blender may be on the horizon what do you reckon????

Just so I can name and shame S is the green Jesus in the Halloween pics (mad i know).

Cool illusion

Kinda odd day!

Ok so I woke up this morning and everything was fine - until 5 mins before I was due to leave for work and I suddenly realised that I had not seen my keys - so frantic looking all over and still no keys - In the end I had to ring into work to let them know I was gonna be late and ring next door to come and open the door with my spare key which they have. I then had to ring my sister to come and rescue me as all the taxi ranks were on the school run!!!!

Anyway got in to night have turned house upside down and finally found the keys in the plant in the bedroom?????? Your guess is as good as mine and E swears blind it was not her - the only reason I found them was because I went to water the thing!

Ah well - here's hoping tomorrow starts better... oh and I know exactly where my keys are at the mo!
