The long and winding term....

So been a while eh?

Sorry for that, trying not to inflict my stress on the general public, and recently thats about all i've managed to be part of! So, the aim of this blog will be twofold:
1. to skim over recent events
2. to be positive and say all the nice things of recent days/weeks

CYCLING
Cycling is carrying on well, especially as I now have padded shorts, a luminous cycling jacket, and some snazzy little trainers!! I look....guh----hoood! tee hee! The kids at school have really got into it, and our class assembly last week was on 'Be Safe be Seen' and how to be safe on your bike! I'm so proud. They also ask me everyday what my time was (how long it took to cycle to school) and they take turns writing it on the board in class under the current record (44.13mins). Bless them!
I'm very proud of my time... in 10 days of cycling i've managed to get my time from 57mins to 44.13mins. I feel this is a big deal! the average time is currently about 48 mins, but i fully aim to beat the 44 next week!

CAT PROBLEMS
MArley has not been well recently and after a trip to Reading for the weekend i got back to discover he was wee-ing blood. Now I realise the less said about this the better, but just to inform you, that in male cats, passing blod can be a sgn of endstage renal failure, and this can happen to any cat at anytime with no symptoms at all at times. After the third little puddle in 30 mins after returning home, i got vey scared and decided the best option was to call the emergency vet. I calld them and they agreed that i should bring him in there and then. Now, after a hideous train journey back from Reading ( i won't go in to all the details, but it involved irate old ladies, smelly buses, and long long queues in manchester) I arrived back at about 9pmish, so taking Marly o te emergency vet, meant, no dinner and a drive to the other side of Halifax, and down a road where there were clearly major drug deals going on. All of this cost me 120 quid before I even knew what was wrong with him.

It turns out, i have a stupid cat, who it would appear, had gone on anti-toilet protest at me going away for the weekend, not used the litter tray once, held it all in, and so had given himself chronic cystitis with a bladder infection. So for the last week, i have had to throw antibiotics down his throat every morning and night, and give him pouch food, mixed with lots of water. All of this shenanagins have cost me nearly £200! Stupid cat.

Gald to say all is well now with Marley and his bladder. Again... i feel it is important to say Stupid cat. Love him tho!


OTHER STUFF
As the title suggests... I am more than ready for half term. I'm bored of it all at the moment, planning sucks, teaching is hard work, I have a cold, and someon has injected all of year 6 with hormones and so i daily have to put up with arguments, fall outs and tears all based around who has called who a fat s**g or who has dumped who... ugh. I thought i'd escaped all of this in primary school!!

Other than that, I would only start ranting and raving about the stress at school, and don;t really wanna do that i i started off so positively!

So until next blog... Take care
