A Hindsight Letter!

Having spent the last week in South Wales where they apparently have no internet connection, I was unable to spred the following news.

A couple of months ago I decided to take part in 'The Hindsight Letters'. Where people write a letter to themselfs by there teenage self. Here was my letter that went online last Monday!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I'll blog all about my holiday next week including a story involving some hot lifeguards!

The Holiday Shop!

In just under 2 weeks I'll be spending a week in South Wales with the family. Over the last 2 years it has become a new thing we do at the start of the summer holidays. Last year we had such a great time so we decided to do it again. This time we are letting my Gran tag along.

One of the best things about going on holiday though is the holiday shop. This weekend I bought two lovely new dresses.

I'm also doing a bigger holiday shop tomorrow :)

Channel Flicking & Teen Pregnancy!!

Every so often I like to channel flick. Mainly on a rainy day. Today though I was just board :). Sure I had over a dozen things saved on my sky+ box that I could have (should have) watched. But oh no I decided to annoy the hell out of myself and channel flick. The result on this (rather boring) Saturday afternoon was a series of really terrible 'reality television'.

Now then I have never been a huge 'Big Brother' fan. And I personally cannot stand 'Jersey Shore'. But what is really bad is the fact that these are not the worse ones out there. As anyone who has endured the c**p that is '16 and Pregnant' or 'Teen Mom' then you will understand what I have just put myself through. But this really got me thinking that who are these people who think that being on these type of programmes is acceptable and responsible behaviour. I remember a time when a teen pregnancy was seen as taboo and now it just seems more 'normal' and I think that is the wrong message being sent out to people. But who is really at fault here. Is it the people who appear and produce these programmes or is it 'us' the viewing audience. I mean if we didn't tune in to watch this c**p then they'd stop making them.

Anyway rant over!

Top 5: Wakey!Wakey! Songs

First off, I love music. Secondly I go through music obsessions. Thirdly at the moment I am obsessed with Wakey!Wakey! I was first introduced to them on 'One Tree Hill'. Michael Grubbs singer/songwriter and amazing piano playing just has a way of drawing you in. So here are my top 5 songs at the moment.

No 5.) 1876 The Brooklyn Theatre Fire.

No 4.) Almost Everything.

No 3.) Dance So Good.

No 2.) Brooklyn

No 1.) War Sweater

Happy Friday :)

Inspections Oh my!

I've spent the best part of the weekend head down going through paperwork with a fine tooth-comb. Why? You ask because yesterday I had my dreaded Ofsted inspection. I passed with flying colours (not that I expected not too) but I was still nervous. Anyway now that, that is behind me I can blog back to normal.

So look out for my next post on Friday. I have a Top 5... post all ready :)

Out & About

Was out for a walk with mum and the kids today and saw these three funny looking tree stumps. Thought I'd share them with you :)

Royal Wedding, Broken Glasses Oh yeah and my holiday is booked :)

Let me just start this blog post in wishing you a very belated Happy Easter, but a Happy Easter non the less.

whats left of my easter egg!

Our long weekend is almost over (even though I was back in work yesterday) but I'm back to looking after those kids on Tuesday. What would a blog post be without a mention of the Royal Wedding.

I've never been a big fan of the Royal family. But I've never hated them either. But I must say that over the last week I was getting a little excited about how the wedding was going to be. I wasn't even a twinkle in my mum and dads eye the last time we had a major royal wedding ('cos lets be honest nobody really cares about the others). Like every girl across the world I was wondering what the dress was going to look like. I was not surprised at how great she looked.

After all the excitement of the Royal Wedding it was time to head down to the pub with a few girls from work. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Now then before I carry on with this let me just say, I was not drunk! I was not drunk! While we may have been merry I was still able to walk in a straight line. But from walking from the pub to my house (which is about 15 minutes) I managed to brake my glasses. My glasses that I've had for two years, that have been sat on, and leaned on. Its when I drop them on the floor that I manage to brake to damn things. How the hell does that happen. Oh yeah and may I add they were in my glasses case. The thing that's supposed to protect the damn things.

Now to the best part about the last two weeks. I've finally booked my holiday. A holiday that has been about six years in the making. Has seen the destination change (twice). But me and my mum are going to New York for five nights. I cannot tell you how excited I am about this so come the 24^th October me and my lovely mum will be boarding a plane to NYC. I'm sure you are going to hear a lot about this until then.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.
