Holidays are over.

I had a fantastic Holiday.
We went to the Scottish highlands near Pitlochry. Had an ace time. Saw a really large hedge, an old tree and a fish ladder. We also walked up to the top of Ben Nevis. I wasn't planning on going only Katie, John and Vic were but I thought I would give it a go as they are I could always turn round. But I went all the way. And even though it was a sunny day there was six foot of snow at the top. It was heck of a walk and it did take us 10.5 hours. We were one of the first on it in the morning and the last to leave. And it isn't like Snowdon there is no cafe halfway up or a restaurant at the top, not a tacky souvenir in sight. I ached for days afterwards. These pictures are from there. Also did some high wire stuff which wasn't really very high scared me and my arms hurt from clinging on for dear life.
Worst part is coming home. I want to go back. Already planning where we are going next.

Quite mildly grumpy

There I am happy as anything looking forward to going away. Then blow me down something goes and spoils it. Typical!

THE JOB CENTRE. I'm still arguing with them about money they owe me from Christmas. When I go today I'm told that they have been paying me too much. Instead of waiting for me to give me pay slips to them they have paid me instead. So I think I have to pay it all back. £400!!!! Feeling quite annoyed. And slightly stupid because I didn't notice anything different in my bank statements. Someone is looking into it for me and I shoudl find out how much I pay back in a few weeks. It is a complete mess. So instead of enjoying myself in Scotland I'm going to be thinking about and watching how I spend my money. GRRRRRRR.

Busy Busy Busy

ONLY FOUR DAYS TO GO!!!!!

I love this part where you are now organising to get ready working out what clothes to take and thinking Are 6 pairs of shoes really too many? and Is there any likelihood of going clubbing even though it is in the middle of nowhere? Should I take my going out shoes? Should I take my make up? How many pairs of trousers should I take? At the moment I'm up to seven and considering I'm only going for seven (No make that eight pairs) days will I wear them all. I tend to find when I'm on holiday I'm live in the same comfy pair anyway.

I have looking it up on the map we are in fact in the middle of nowhere this is not an exaggeration. We are four (FOUR) miles from the nearest pub and this is as the crow flies, it is cross country and through forests to get there. Don't get me wrong I love to drink in pubs but I'm not sure four miles is worth it.. I have brought a hip flask to keep me going during the walk but it only holds about two mouth fulls Think I will have to take the bottle with me. Vic has brought two florescent jackets one for the person in front and one behind. I have a pantomine image that we are going to get scare off one by one until there is me left. I don't like walking in the dark, in fact I'm not a great fan of walking at all. But in the dark I imagine thing which are not there and people hiding ready the get me. I always hope they will get someone else instead. I'm one of these people who sees dead people (not like the TV programme or sixth sense) but I always think that if it is dark and thing are creepyer in the dark I think I am going to come across a dead person (as in a corpse).
Anyway enought of me ranting.

Scotland here we come.

Hi.
There is under 2 weeks till we go way to Scotland. I have started packing already. I live for going on holiday. It doesn't have to be much or far or for very long but the knowledge that you are going away in the near future keeps me going in the present.
We are going to a Pitlochry. It is in the highlands. I have never been to Scotland before really looking forward to it. I have been looking on the internet and there is so much we can do in the area. I only problem is that I'm not taking my car so therefore can no escape if I need to. I suppose I can always take a walk.

Clocks

HELP. The clocks have changed I have lost an hour of my life. Stopped at Johns last time which meant I had to get up early with him to work and as I've lost an hour I got woken up at 4am. 4am!!! crazy time of the day. This is a time which don't very often see. Maybe I should be grateful to John for giving me the opportunity to see it?

PS More Amsterdam pics.

Mummmmm Cake

Hi.

Have just finished making and baking Vicky's birhtday cake. I started this morning at 11 and have only just finished. It is a bit pink. It wasn't meant to be this pink I spilt the pink colouring. Never main so likes pink. I'm quite pleased with myself. I rang her up this morning while I was making the flowers on it. She was saying that she wasn't going to get a cake this year. WRONG. I just hope it taste ok. Going to give her it today. I haven't got anything to store it in. Hope she likes it.

Sam X

PS I have to use a marker pen to write on it. It was the only thing I had must remember to tell people they can't eat that bit.

Not working again

Hi.
It has been a very slow week. I haven't had a day of work. Nor have I had any money from the job centre because they are still looking into my claim. So I bit poor at the moment.
Though I did go shopping yesterday. I brought a fantastic pair of trousers from next. They are going to be my paddling trousers for when I go gold panning in Scotland. This is because you can tie them up and make them shorter. I also brought two nice tops as well. But don't worry I didn;t spend any money because I has some vouchers left over from Christmas.
Going to Amsterdam on Thursday. Really looking forward to it. We are going to the Science meseam there it is meant to be really cool and very hands on.
Went to Vic's at the weekend had Hol a friend from uni down. It was really nice to catch up.
Any way going now.

Working

Hi.
Gosh I'm I feeling rough. Got a cold. Think it is from shouting at small children. Or maybe they have just given me all their nasty germs. Most of the staff are off at the school I'm teaching in. Great for me as I'm working, but feeling rough. Might have to go and hide in the cupboard.
I've had a lovely day today. I think most of the children are too ill to fight back.

Only have a week to go and it is half term. Think I may have to spend all week in bed.

Sam X

Welcome to February.

Hi.
I always think February is a funny month to spell. It should be spelt as it sounds Feb-ur-ary.
Any way it has to be better than January. It is the worst month for suicides. The weather is cold, it is dark and gloomy in the mornings. so all you want to do is stick you head under the blankets and go back to sleep until March. I don';t see why we (humans) don't hibinate. Wouldn't it be fantastic that come end of November to store enough food till March and curl up in a ball and sleep. Maybe it is just me being lazy.

I balls up the other day. I thought I was working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Wrong!!! At 9:15 on Tuesday got a call asking where I was!! IN BED WHERE ALL THE NORMAL PEOPLE ARE ON THEIR DAY OFF. Apparently I was in Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. As in all day Tuesday and Wednesday but only in on Thursday afternoon. ARSE! Felt a bit of a prat. Nevermind.

Sam X

Hi.
I've been so bored that I have start to digitalise all the old photos. A sad life I lead. I quite like these photo though. The top lift is Kate. She still pulls the same face now. Right is me and Col getting ready to sink our raft. We can last. Then Kate and dad looking all Christmasy.

Snow

Hi
Happy Birthday Hol.

I'm unemployed today. We working yesterday in a local school. The morning was lovely but I don't know what they gave them for lunch because they turn into screaming monsters in the afternoon. All I wanted to do we to hid in the cupboard or better still put all the children into the cupboard and let them fight it out.

It is snowing here. Don't really like to snow, sure it is pretty and makes even the crappest council estate like good. But I hate driving, walking and just generally being outside in the snow. But sure enough even year it snows I have to make the obligertre snowman and take a walk in it and take some lovely snowy pictures. I think if I resigned myself to sitting inside with a coffee (Not hot chocolate because that means your old) and watching the snow (for about 2 minutes because lets face it watching falling snow is about as most fun as cleaning the goldfish tank. It is some thing that needs to be done.) it means I'm getting old and cranky because only the young and crazy enjoy getting so wet and cold and you can't feel your arms and legs.

Right I'm going to take the rubbish out. This way at least I can say I've been outside in the snow and took a walk.

Sam X

Hi.
Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. What with all the excitment of Christmas, new year and working I haven't really had time.

I'm still looking for work. It has slowed up again now. I think it will pick up again near Easter. Think I might have to look for a weekend job in Boston to keep me tide over.

I have also booked a trip to Amsterdam in March. Going with Vicky. Really looking forward to it. I've not been before. So if anyone has any ideas of where to go let me know.

See you soon
Love Sam.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi. HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope you all had a fantastic new year. I did. Well what I can remember of it was great. I have a lovely start to the new year. I have been working for the last 6 days. Loads of money. Shame it is a tough school though. Here are some lovely pics of our new years party. I have been careful as to which ones to put on to spare people blushes.

HAVE A FANTATIC AND AMAZING CHRISTMAS

Hi. MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is will probably be my last blog until after Christmas, so I hope you all have a fantastic time.
I going to see family in Grimsby this year. Really looking forward to it.

I have quite a few things still left to do. I have to finish off a Christmas cake for my gramdma. It still needs icing. I need to finish off my chocolates, as I got bored of doing them so just bunged them in the freezer. I also have some wrapping to do. John is also coming down today at some point.
Tomorrow Col and her new family are coming for dinner then we are all going to the Christingale at the church.

Christmas eve we are allowed a chocolate off the tree, thought I think someone has been poaching them before hand, and a sherry. Then it is time for bed until Father Christmas arrives.

Hi. Got a message yesterday saying that the part time post has already been filled by someone else. I have to say I'm not too heart broken. It would have been nice to have had a steady income after Christmas and that I didn't have to keep going to the job centre and filling the same form every time I do over 16 hours. Never mind will keep trying.
Whisky is home from the vets. He came home yesterday, but was drugged up most the afternoon. He is a bit brighter today and has even got some of his wag back.

Good News

Hi. I

FINGERS CROSSED.

Lovely weekend

Hi.
Had a really nice weekend. Meet dad girlfriends children for the first time. They also brought their girlfriends. Everything went really well. They are all the same age as me and I got on with themwell. We played games and eat far too much I drank tooo much, so I'm not sure what they thought of me.

Going to do my last shopping bits today, need a few things to make up peoples prezzies. Whisky (The dog) is going into the vets tomorrow. He has a lump on his side so he is going to have it removed. So I'm going to looking after him for a few days as Dad and Alice are going to London to see her mum.

Right going to do ironing now. I hate ironing it seems of pointless. I would rather iron things as a need them.

Sam X

Flying Doctor.

I'm going to be a flying doctor. No it isn't a change of career. But the character I'm going to be in the murder mystery party on New Years eve. I have to practice my auzzie accent.

G-Day
Throw an nother shrimp on the barbie.
I couldn't give a castlemane 4 X for anything else.

The school I went to look round today was amazing. In the whole of the school there are only 26 kids. The job I applied for has seven children in the class. That is all foundation stage and key stage one. I really want this job. I was so excited that I applied straight away.

Merry Christmas Love Sam X

Hi.
Was in school again last week. Had a really rough day. Bit of a crazy class. But I managed, though my voice was quite strained by the end of the day. I definitely earn my money that day.

This is the finished result of the Christmas cake I've make. Really pleased with it. Dad doesn't like it, said it would like better with model santa's and snowmen on it. Decided that was too difficult for a beginner like me.

Having two Christmas's this year. Dad's Girlfriend has invited her family next weekend, so we are having an early Christmas, with turkey, crackers and games. I haven't meet them before. I will also be the odd one out as I'm going to be the only single person there everyone else is taking a partner.

Dad had finally brought him Christmas present from last year. Me and Colleen clubbed together to get him a bow and arrow, but the one we got him wasn't very good. So we just gave him the money to get one he liked. He is all kitted out now.

Sam X

Dreaming in Chocolate.

I never thought I would hear myself say this, but I've had enough of chocolate. I have been extremly busy making chocolate truffle and desserts. I'm sick to death of it. I can't even manage to lick the bowls out.

I started out by making a few Delia Smith truffles, just to try them. They were a big success. So I thought I would make a few for Christmas presents for people. Then my Dad asked me to make some more for his girlfriends kids, as they are coming down at the weekend. I am totally chocolated out.

Plus I've made chocolate torte for dessert for the weekend.

The chocolates do look good though. I'm quite impressed with myself as I hate cooking of any sort.

Right had to go, got masses of ironing to do before Dad get back, otherwise he will think I've done nothing but watch TV all morning.

Love Sam X

PS I'm going to look round a local school tomorrow morning. Quite nervous about it as I really want this job.

New Year Party.

Hi.

We are having a New Year Party. We are being very sophisticated and are having a small gathering of people to enjoy a night of mature socialising and games. Me and Vicky are organising a murder mystery night complete with a few choice cocktails.

Very adult and sensible evening planned.


MERRY CHRISTMAS

Shopping Hell

Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!

MY GOD! I will never go Christmas shopping on a Saturday again. It is full of crazy people with kids in pushchairs. I only brought one thing. It took me three quaters of an hour too get a car parked.

The Christmas Market was manic, couldn't get near any stalls. I think it has got a lot tackier than it use to be. Every other stall is selling flashing Santas hats and rather randomly Flashing bunny ears (Maybe left over from Easter). It use to have loads more novel craft things, now it is the same old tat.

Going to stay in bed with John all day tomorrow recovering.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Sam X

Hi. This is me in a hole.



Going to Lincoln Christmas Market tomorrow night.

Have iced my first Chiristmas cake today. I'm really pleased with myself. Never done it before. Will post a picture of the finished produce. Hope it tastes ok. Have also started to make some home made chocos as prizzies for people. I'm becoming a proper house wife. It is a good job too, as John ask asked to live with him next year. Scary stuff!! I will have to start making jam and dried flower arrangments next. Wait that isn't a house wife that middle aged. HELP!!!!! Oh My God!!! HELP!!!

Have to go and finish the rug (not the hair kind) I'm making now. Bye.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Sam X

Hi.
Opened my advent calendar today got a Christmas pudding. It is a chocolate one. I couldn't find a normal non chocolate one. There should be a diet version of advent calendars. Maybe they could have Christmas themed carved carrot sticks or something.

I really hate the word Xmas, I don't see why people shorten Christmas to xmas. It isn't as if it is any quicker to say. You may as well say X.

Any way enough of the moaning. I'm still working and loving it. Have near finished shopping. I hate finishing Christmas shopping well before Christmas. As then I continue buying people stuff they don't really need. Like Father Christmas Mugs, or ties that sing Christmas songs. I just can't stop myself.

Anyway have to go now. Dad to fixing my car again, going to take it for a test drive.

Merry X.

Update

Hi.
Sorry it has been a while since I have posted a blog. I have been very busy. Firstly I have become a radio star. Well nearly! I did a short review on the new James Bond film on the local radio station. Was very impressed that I said I would do it. Normally I shy away from things like that and think I'm just going to make an idiot of myself.

I have also been teaching. Have done four days altogether, really enjoying it.

Have been shopping for Christmas like crazy. Feeling a little left out so treated myself to a top and a sparkling ring from eBay.

Have had a fantastic week. Hopefully next will be similar.

Sam X

Working again.

Hi.
Just finished an afternoon teaching. Not the greatest class. They were a hand full the say the least. Never mind I only taught them for an hour and got paid £50.
I'm still Chiristmas shopping by the internet. Everyone is going to be getting second hand tat from ebay. Car is still playing up. Struggling what to get the men in my lift for Christmas. I find men always much harder to buy for. Anyone got any ideas. Also want to get some boards games for family. Anyone know any good ones. We tend to like games like Pictionary. We have also started to play cribbage.

See you

Bond. James Bond

Hi.

Went to see James Bond on Thursday. I really enjoyed it. I was a bit skeptical of Daniel Craig as James Bond but it wasn't too bad. Don't think he will be taking the Bond crown off Sean Connery though.

The first 10 minutes of the film were the best. Bond was chasing a bad guy, who is real life is a street runner (runs and jumps on the roof tops around London) It is pretty amazing to watch, at one point he climbs straight up a steel girder.

The only downfall was that it didn't feel very much like a James Bond film. The film it self was entirely gadget free. I know that the last couple of Bond films had become gadget obsessed and were highly unbelievable. But I think Bond does need one or two toys to help him.

This Bond is much more grittier and darker. We get to see a different side to Bond. As it is a prequel it makes to audience realise what happen to Bond to make him the cold person he is in his other films.

I also like the fact that it is very near to the book, only updated slighty.

A must see.

Teaching at last.

Hi.
I had a lovely day. The school I was at was great and a nice one to have my first day teaching in as there was plenty of support available. I was teaching year two. They were a fantastic class. Really pleased with myself that I managed to get through the day without having to go into the cupboard and hide from the kid or worse still cry. I did have to make up a PE lesson on the spot I had to relate weather and dance!!! We all pretended to be a hurricanes. Role on my next supply day.

Job at last.

This photo was taken at a nearby church last year.


Hi.
This photo was taken at a nearby church last year.
It has been a day for good news today. First I passed my MOT. Then I get a phone call asking me if I wanted to do supply in a school tomorrow then I make a carrot cake for the first time and it tastes lovely. Fantastic day.

I'm a bit nervous about tomorrow. I'm teaching year two , hopefully they won't be doing anything to tasking.

Going to see the new James Bond film tomorrow night with John. I have stayed away from all the hype so if won't spoil it for me. I've read the book but often the books and the films have nothing in common.

We let you know what I think.

Invited out

Hi.
I have been invited to London for a friends birthday. Dead excited about it. I love London. Used to go quite often when I was at uni in Bedford. Her birthday is just before Christmas as well, so every thing in all sparkling and festive. Last year we when to the Clink museum, wine tasting, the tower bridge experience and tower of London. This year Shel was on about going to the Tate modern and playing on the slides or the BBC experience. If anyone has any ideas let me know. If Holly and John is reading this you are also invited. Katie we will meet you there.

Bolton abbey.

Car trouble.

Hi.

Took my car for a MOT yesterday. It failed miserably. Feeling sad now. Luckily my Dad is helping me fix it.

I'm looking forward to the new James Bond film. Really big James Bond fan. I would make an ace bad guy.

I'm still searching for a job. Have a few places to ring on Monday. I keep forgetting that schools are closed at the weekend.

Happy

Hi
I feel quite happy and cheerful today. Which is quite a pleasant why to feel. I'm normally a happy person anyway but today seems extra special and I don't know why. Maybe some thing terribly exciting is going to happen.

I didn't get up till 10 I love lay in it is the best time of the day. That little bit of time when you are not really awake or asleep and you can remember what you dreamt about. Mummmm. I also like the time when you are just feeling asleep. May be I'm just lazy!!!

I had the weirdest dream. I dream that my Dad and I had a plane. A very special plane. We were invited to go to a radio station and show off the plane. John can with us and Dad was late getting there. Because I didn't want the plane to get a car park ticket I put a hat on it to disguise it. I bit later on a swapped the hat for a moustache!!! Any way we flew it away a bit and it crashed. But we had all safely ejected.

Wonder what it means? I had been watching a James Bond film that evening so maybe it is to do with that. Maybe that is why I woke up happy?

love Sam.

Lovely Weekend

Hi.
I had a lovely weekend away. John took me to Yorkshire to a village called Settle. It was extremely pretty. I really enjoyed myself. We just chilled out. It was nice to spend some time with just the two of us.

On Saturday we walked around the village (which didn't take long). Then we walk up from the village round to Attamire scar. John wanted to take some photos of entrances of caves which were situated around there. I just enjoyed the walk, though I did moan on the up hill bits.

On Sunday we went into to Stainforth and had a look at Stainforth bridge, the stepping stones and the waterfalls along the river. Spend a while amusing ourselves by watching salmon trying to jump up the four foot waterfall. We then continued to walk up hill and see Catrrig falls. They were well worth the steep walk up.

Then in the afternoon we when to White Scar caves, which are show caves.

Have a fantastic time. Thanks to John.

Sam X

Hi.
The interviews are over. The Yesterday when really well. I was quite pleased with myself. The lesson I had to teach didn't go so good though. Heard this morning that I didn't get that job. I think I was expecting to much on the first interview I get to get the job. I did however have a lovely time at the school and it did seem like a great place to work.

Today was for supply teaching. Hopefully they will be able to at least give me two days a week. We shall see.

John is taking me away for the weekend, which is nice of him. Though it is me driving and arranging the b&b. It will be nice to get away after sure a rubbishy week. We are going to go to Settle in Yorkshire. It is really nice and pretty therefore. We are meant to spending Saturday wandering around the town and probably eating a great deal. Sunday we are going walking. I'm so looking forward to it.

Hi.
It is official!! I am now a lady of leisue!! Or as Holly would say Dole Scum!!

Last day of work today. Though I thought my last day was on Monday, they kindly told me this dinner time that I am to use up all the holidays I have been saving and finish today. Wasn't best pleased. Even worse when I left this evening, there wasn't even a thank you, a goodbye or a good luck. Quite angry. I hope they don't get their bonues.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Hi. HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

I had a really good weekend. Brandy Wharf was nice drank some cider and some weird wine. I had Black Beer and rasin, it wasn't as horrid as it sounds. And I didn't fall over!!
Book a holiday for easter next year. Getting a cottage in Scotland about 8 of us are going. I've never been to Scotland.

Stressing about my interview on Thursday now. Quite worried about it, especially the bit where I have to teach the kids to make fireworks (not the explosive ones, models).

Hi.
Feeling a little bit better today. Not because my boss realised what a fool he is to get rid of the only person in the shop who does work (or appears to be doing work). But because I am going away for the weekend to brandy wharf cider house (see picture) to see a friend from uni and to drown my sorrows and to numb the feeling of rejection.

We are also so celebrating the fact that we are graduating. Not going to the graduation though, it sound too expensive. Maybe me and Hol can hire a cape and hat, role up a bit of paper and strike a pose????

Sam x

Layed off

Hi.
Feeling pretty rotten.
The hoilday camp with I am working at has layed me off. Quite cheesed off about it. Worked hard all summer making the big wigs loads of money, only to be repaid by them getting rid of me when they start make less money because of the season has quieten. It isn't as if the season finishes as it is near enough open all year round.

Sorry to rant but feel really hard done by. I can't even shout at them and tell them I quit because I need the boss to write me a good referances to get a teaching job.

Never mind we will see how it goes.

Hi.
I went to a really nice wedding yesterday. Really enjoyed myself. I danced and drank the night away.
I brought a suit for the interviews I've got. It is only from Asda, but it looks good on. I would normally wear trousers, but they didn't have any my size so I got the skirt. The whole lot only cost £20.
Katie has just started a job at Next. I wonder if family get discount there?
Going away this weekend to a place called Brandy Wharf. Is sells lots of different ciders. Going to spend the day there, then go into town at night. Should be a good weekend.
Have to go now.

Hi.
I'm the tall one. Katie is the one on the sofa and Col is the blonde. We were at my grandma's house, Grandad had just taught us how to make paper hats.

Fantastic News

Hi. At last a decent photo. Though I don't normally look like this. It is one of those posh photo shoots things. I friend made me go.
I've had some fantastic new today. I got an email the other day asking if I was interested in a teaching job somewhere in Grimsby that was all they knew. So I thought what the hell, I'm desperate!!! Today I got a phone call asking to go for an interview???? I hadn't even sent a CV or application form off. It is a bit random.
Also this morning I rang I teaching supply agency. I got a interview off them as well.
Things are definitely looking up. At this rate I may not have to work Christmas day.

The worlds gone mad!!!!!

Hi.
I have recently read that Dave Gorman (of Are you Dave Gorman fame) has been questioned under the terrorism act by London police. Apparently he was minding his own business taking a lovely photo of Battasea power station, when a policewoman stopped him and questioned him under the terrorism act. She looked at his photos and then he carried on. Crazy. Good photos though. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=239195904&size=s

Post office Hell.

Hi.

I have just got back from wedding it was different, the bride didn't look to happy or pleased or in fact talked to anyone there.

At the moment I'm having trouble with the English postal system. They have changed it and it is confussing me. I don't see what was wrong with the old system of weighing things and posting them. Now it has to go by size as well!!!!

My sister has just gone to uni (See picture above, she the one on the right wearing the neaklace) and I thought it would be nice to keep in contact the old fashioned way and write letters. I keep senting her little gifts to surprise her. Evert time I send something I have to go to the post office and weigh it and sometime it cost more to send things than what the item costs. Crazy system. Oh and if you have a large envelope and fold it over it is then classified as a parcels and cost twice as more to send.

Any how she seems to be having a good time. You can always check out her website. http://kate-ohmy.blogspot.com/ Please leave a comment and she dosen't think anyone is visiting her. Be nice though.

Sam x

Hi.

I've had to remove this blog as I had written about a friend Christmas presents and what I was thinking of getting her. I've had I rethink since then and changed my mind and I don't want her to find out. She also has become aware of my blog.

Sam X

Hi.
Thank you for the comments I have received. It is lovely to click on the site and find someone has left a comment. It is nearly as good as getting post.

I have had a really nice day today. Sent off my application form for the year 4 teaching job and for the supply agency. Hopefully will hear from them soon.

I went to bingo last night with my Nan and a friend, won a huge box of chocolate, going to have a girly night in sometime this week so will save them for then. Going to pamper ourselves and have some wine and watch cheesy feel good films.

Going to a wedding on Saturday, some family that I don't really know. I am one of these people who really like weddings. I like the cheesy music and the dancing and the food and meeting people who I haven't seen in ages. It should be good.

See you soon

Happy Christmas

Hi.

Thing are looking up. I went to look round a primary school today in the local area. there is a job in the year 4 class available. Looked a really nice school. Going to fill in the application form tomorrow.

Have started my Christmas shopping. I'm one of these people who leave it to the last minute and end up pulling my hair out the week before Christmas because the only thing I have managed to buy is a truck load of socks. I have decided to do it all from the internet this year. I find it quite exciting getting parcels. no one send me any mail apart from the bank. I'm still having trouble getting picture to loads, so if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Love Sam.

PS I have recently seen a shop all kited out with decorations and a Christmas tree. I little insane I think.

Hi.
Sorry it has been so long since I have put up a post. I been really busy. I'm still working at the Holiday camp, though looking for a better paid job. I have also joined a supply teaching agency, so I will see how that goes.

I think I have officially become an adult. When out on Friday night with a friend, ended getting far too drunk. Regretted the next day. I have finally decided that drinking that much is not worth the morning after. I feel that this revelation has but me firmly into to adulthood, thought I'm not sure if I will stay. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to stop and become a T total hermit. But I am going to steady and pace myself.

Also Don't know if anyone can help but I'm having trouble posting photo's from my camera. What I'm I doing wrong?

I want to go on holiday again!

Hi.

I had such a good time away I want to go again.

I did loads of things which I had never done before. I went on a pony trek which took us up a hill that over looked the lake. The views were outstanding. No sure if I liked the horse riding or may be it was because the horse didn't like me. The poor horse was squashed for the first half hour because I was squeezing it tightly and holding on for dear life. I did relax a bit until it started trotting. I also think my horse, which was called Smoky had a eating disorder every time we start it would starting chomping away, it even did it while we were walking.

Toward the end of the trek my horse must have been really thirsty, maybe it wanted wash down the food it had been eating. It trotted into the stable with me hanging on being bounced all over the place like a ragged doll, and bullied two other horse out of the way and picked a fight with another to get a drink.

The whole thing was most amusing and I and everyone else enjoyed it.

It was also quite funny to watch people get down from their horses, most were walking like John Wayne.

The place we trekked with is Llangorse climbing and rope centre and pony trekking. http://www.activityuk.com/gallery_skytrek.php

I will tell more what went on late as I don't want to make this to long.

I'm back

Hi.

Sorry it has been so long since I have written anything. I have been on holiday to Wales. I have a fantastic time.

We camped at a place called Llangorse in the Breacon Brecons at a lovely campsite called lakeside caravan park. It had a nice pub and cafe and a little shop only dissappointment was that you have to pay 20p for a shower!!!

We did go zorbing in the end there was a mix up with our booking. I think it was my mistake. The morning we were meant to go I took out all the paper work and tickets and looked it up on the map to see how to get there. Only problem was when I found the zorbing site on the map in was in a different country. Scotland!!! So was have changed due booking and are going next year. Another chance to go on Hoilday.

No one was dissappointed as we did loads of other stuff. I will write aboutit next time.

Bye X
