I had a spooky experience at the Museum today. I was upstairs on the top floor where all the offices are. I was the only one up there. As I was about to head downstairs I heard noises coming from one of the offices. It sounded like movement, it didn't sound like footsteps but there was a definite sound of movement coming from the room. I ( Read more... )

I've been doing overtime at the museum over the Christmas period. It's been really boring, we've had hardly any visitors at all. The most exciting thing that's happened was this very bizarre phone call yesterday. To fully appreciate the humour of this phone call you need to understand that I am talking in my posh museum telephone voice, and the ( Read more... )

I went shopping with Natalie this evening. I've not had chance to meet up with her in weeks, I've just been so, so busy with work recently. It was her birthday last month, and although we've spoke on the phone I haven't had chance to give her her birthday present until tonight. I was made up to see her ( Read more... )

Last night me and Natalie went to the Brindley in Runcorn to watch Kathryn in Sweeney Todd. It was really, really good. It was very similar to the Johnny Depp movie, so I figured they used the same stage play script. My favourite line of the night:
How would ya like to split me muff?

Today I was working for Prescot Museum at Knowsley's Green ( Read more... )

Today was quite fun. I was attending a course in Manchester Art Gallery for Prescot Museum. The course was titled "Museums, Galleries and Schools Improving Pupils' Literacy Professional Development Workshop". It was aimed at Teachers and Museum workers and was about how museums and galleries can be used to improve children's literacy. It was ( Read more... )

I went to Shrewsbury on Saturday with Kathryn, Jack and Carla. We went for Sam's 21st Birthday party. We had such a good time. I'm in the process of uploading all 400+ photos onto my ScrapBook, but I'm only half done and will probably finish the rest tomorrow. You can see them here. I left my wallet in Kathryn's car, and I needed my bank card ( Read more... )

I'm so skint - I have just 74p in my bank account. I get paid on Friday, surely I can last until then? I have Prescot Museum's Christmas night out tomorrow - hopefully I won't have to spend anything!

Here's a really quick update of the past few days events ( Read more... )

I was working in Prescot Museum for The Big Draw, a national art event held every year. We were making art using silhouettes and light. I finished there at 16:30 to give me time to get to Halewood for a dance Youth Group at 17:00. Unfortunately all the children who usually go to the Youth Group were performing in a show this evening, so there ( Read more... )

Last night was so, um... bizarre. Neil (niggsy) and Martin came round for drinks at mine. We drank all sorts - Rosé, Bucks Fizz and Vodka and Cokes. I was totally rat arsed. Me and Neil accidentally ripped the shower curtain off the wall - oops! We had such a laugh.

We then went into town. We apparently went to The Lisbon first to meet Ricky (rickyorr) ( Read more... )
