Hmm... 26th October... that makes it 11 days since i last had time to post. Oh joy, welcome to Cambridge.

Went to Legoland yesterday with Xanthe's Brownies, who were all just as cute as she had described... I especially liked the bit where i went around a lego Egyptian tomb with half our little group and they all screamed, jumped and fell to the ( Read more... )

Ouch! Just added up everything i need to buy for Rainbows on Saturday and it's come to nearly £100 - definitely a credit card job, that one! And considering income from each term would be a max of £160 (our of which has to come rent, activities etc) i sincerely hope we get that start up grant ( Read more... )

I just converted all the text in my presentation i have to do for my boss tomorrow into Trebuchet... Couldn't resist... but i feel that this now gives me a reason to write the hugely long email to my delegation and another to my fellow Rainbow Guider who had turned her phone off last night when we were supposed to be having our meeting... *grumbles ( Read more... )

Well i finally plucked up the courage to talk to my boss about stopping working earlier than planned... and HE SAID YES!! So summer holiday begins on Friday at 17.00 at which point i shall be driving like a maniac into Bath (to make a difference to my usual style of driving), shooting off to London and getting VERY drunk to celebrate so that i ( Read more... )

Dad found me his really old Bible this morning so i could find the bit i'm supposed to read at my brother's wedding in non-kiddy language. Amusingly, it is the Bible my great grandmother gave to my grandmother on my dad's side and had her confirmation card in it and the address on the back of it was 'Rampant Horse Lane ( Read more... )

My new stripy socks are, in fact, the envy of everyone. Alice announced that her plans for world domination seem to be coming along quite nicely - she is to blame for the stripy-socks-are-very-important thing. Perhaps she is in league with Xanthe, who knows ( Read more... )

Don't ask why we did this... not really sure of the answer, and it seemed like a good idea at the time - just sort of... happened? Like so many things in life, really!

Friday

Got to the youth hostel at about 10pm and locked my bike up with Eleanor's in the shed - actually had to wheel bike through the hostel, which was kind of weird, but there you ( Read more... )

I appear to have synchronised my tea-to-toilet ratio with 'Orange Frances' from the company next door (we use the same toilets...). She is so named because of her appaulling ability to use fake tan... but yes,all very amusing and slightly embarrased lookat i bumped into her on my way out of the loo for the second time today!

Oh the ( Read more... )

OK, i admit it... perhaps my trousers are a tiny bit big for me now... But yes, i do have a belt and i am wearing it... how easily such problems are solved! I maintain, however, that the majority of the getting-too-big-ness is due to them being old and having stretched... yes, most definitely.

Am super excited about my cycle ride tomorrow... ( Read more... )
