Progress report

Dad is getting on ok, he is rather grumpy and not sleeping very well (apparently hospitals aren’t very restful places), anyway the important thing is that he is ok. We are waiting to see what we will do for the wedding itself but we are certain he won’t be walking me down the aisle.
Thank you [...]



My Dad

I love my Dad, I don’t often tell him that, normally by card when it’s appropriate.
Today he had an accident. He is in hospital but should be ok.
He is a terrible patient.
Please pray for my Dad, my Mum, my whole family, me and Dave and the hospital staff.
He was saying sorry because of [...]



Time wasting

I’m not really sure that it was the best use of my time today when, while clearing away boxes that Dave dumped so I couldn’t help but deal with them, I spent at least an hour reminiscing about things such as my teaching practice and my first proper teaching job. I found planners, worksheets, schemes [...]

I really feel I should have things to blog about. My life is very busy and my wedding is approaching quickly. Unfortunately I have the sort of brain that doesn’t retain things to blog about. I have fleeting [...]



Grand Designs

Now the excitement really begins

People have been asking whether everything is sorted out, whether I am excited and all that sort of thing. My response has always been, yes, I am excited, no, I haven’t got everything sorted out, but when I finish term there will be 2 weeks left and I will really concentrate on wedding stuff then.
Now [...]



La la la la la

2 days left, hurrah.
I admit I was rather crotchety today in the heat. At one point I think I was rather more crotchety than I realised because the children worked silently for the rest of the lesson even though I hadn’t asked them to. Now to do my best to end the term on [...]



I will be so glad when term ends

School just keeps getting in the way of essential tasks that need to be done before the wedding. I really must get back to making small boxes.



In less than three weeks…

Ooh, exciting stuff.
We only have a lot left to do. Should be fine.
Anyway, we can’t be too worried as we took time out for a mini weekend away. It was lovely, we went to a friends birthday / engagement party and today I took Dave to my old church. It has changed a lot in [...]



One week to go

End of school year is always such a joy. When I was in my really rough school a few years ago I would have known exactly how many hours of teaching I had left. It must be a sign that I am in a better school know that I don’t really know. Also I know [...]
