Ah finally my internet is working! So what's been happening wiht me...
I won the 'Badminton Player of the Year' award! YAY! It was because I am enthusiastic, dedicated, and have the right attitde on and off the court. Unfortunately, I didn't go the the presentation evening to hear them make a speech about me, and photos that would have gone in the Mercury... But my mums friend brought round the huge trophy!
I went to a family get together last Saturday in the New Forest. Played football and rounders all day. Me and my cousin Anna tried to beat our football heading record, but it was so windy, and we had a light ball so we didn't. Although, at one point, Anna headed it straight up in the air, but thought it had gone down and was looking for it very confused until it dropped down on top of her head which was extremely funny!
Been to a couple of training sessions in Bradgate park with the senior county badminton squad, as me and Abby are joining them next year. It's so hard work though! Basically we just run round Bradgate Park, but it seems to be all uphill! Then we go down a very steep bit (where I fell into the bracken and couldnt get back up again) only to do some more uphill stuff again! Oh, and I forgot to mention that every 5 mins or so of running we stop and do like 20 pressups, situps, burpies etc before running on again. If I did that every day I would be the fitest person in the world in a few months!
I'll update later, with the stuff I know I will have forgotten to write!

PS Just like to mention that I typed this without hardly looking at the keyboard, which means I am well on my way to be a touch typer yay! Just need to stop making so many mistakes and I'll be fine. Not that I make that many mistakes, sometimes just press 2 buttons at once. Hehehe...
