May 24 HmmmRobert has gone awol. He didn't pick the girls up yesterday or today, and hasn't been in touch. Oh well. If he was less unreliable I'd be more worried.
I ended up on Kerrang radio this morning. I texted in to disagree with Ugly Phil's stance that all drummers are ugly and ended up on air giving Fab Moretti as an example of a gorgeous drummer. That was fun.
Went on a good course at another school this morning. Write Dance. It's about teaching children sequences of movement alongside stories, activities and music to give them the physical skill for writing. It sounds really good. You start off by telling the children 'The Story of a Piece of Paper' which sounds ludicrous.
A&V have got their class photos at school tomorrow. Vespa is not impressed as she is still scabby from chicken pox. One theory about where the term 'chicken pox' comes from is that children used to be referred to as 'chicken'. Which would make it 'child pox'. That rolls off the tongue.
May 23 Anna's notspotty. If she's not spotty by this time next week then she's in the clear.
Had a great time at Cathryn's Eurovision party on Saturday, and a great night dancing afterwards. Only had two glasses of wine but I had an evil hangover on Sunday.
The fair was in town. I love the fair. It's cheap, it's across the road and it has fresh doughnuts. But it rained and rained and we didn't go.
We Are Scientists has sold out and I got tickets, so I'm quite pleased. It's not till November though. Quite keen on The Young Knives on the third but I haven't bought tickets. I'll go if they don't sell out.
Going to Resurrection for John's birthday on Friday. Getting the girls to qymnastics on Saturday should be interesting. May 12 Vespa's spottyShe's got chicken pox, so I expect Anna will get it soon. The joy of being off school is tempered by how good the head is at making you feel guilty for not being there. It's good to have time to sort stuff out though. The house sale should go through in the next week.
I have been overpaid in tax credits for a particularly stupid reason - they ignored my estimated earnings and went on the previous year when I only worked for three months! Don't know what that'll do to my budget. I'm going to get about a third of the tax credits I got last year.
Hooray, the sun is shining for the third day in a row. It's a shame Vespa's contagious, but then if she wasn't, we'd both be at school. May 06 KnackeredDon't know why I'm so tired today. A&V were at a sleepover last night so I got to lie in (till 8!) and I was quite lively this morning. Took them to gymnastics on the train, then got a dreadful headache, got home and crashed and burned.
There was a CD fair in Stourbridge today (where gymnastics is). I went and looked and didn't spend any money, yay!
Got tickets for We Are Scientists but that's not till November. They were sold out the last two times I wanted tickets.
Dreamt I was going out with Paul Smith from Maximo Park last night. May 05 More shoesWell, had yesterday off because my school was a polling station, and spent the morning shopping. Everything that I had my eye on had come down in price, which was good. The red shoes that I was talking about had not only been reduced from £20 to £12, the shop was having a 20% off everything day, so it was like two pairs for the price of one (of course I got the red and the blue). Then the very sixties white mini dress that I saw in Primark but not in my size, was reduced from £10 to £5, and they actually had my size. I'm still disappointed that their £2 t-shirt dresses are too narrow in the shoulders for me to wear, but at least I got things that I wanted at half the price. Could still do with a white handbag though. Still can't add photos. My ant jewellery has been dispatched. I hope it's nice. Taking both nursery classes to the Sea Life Centre on Thursday (at the same time). I hope I survive.
May 03 AntsFinally found an ant belly button ring but unfortunately there isn't a picture of it, just the pendant. I ordered it anyway. |
