Long hours of darkness

Hello all!

It has been pointed out to me that i have been a bit neglectful recently of many things and my blog is one of them. So here i am in these long evenings of darkness and heating returning to my blog! woo hoo! I can't believe its been well over a year since i first wrote on my blog!

I thought I'd take this opportunity to look back at my blog and note the major changes.

In this past year many things have changed, although reading my blog from this time last year, it kinda seems many things have not... Main things in my life that are different are i have far more work at school. I now have a beautiful girlfriend who is clever, slengthy and makes me smile even on my darkest days. I have a beautiful little Niece, called Isobel, who is now 2 months old. I also now have one of the traveling three amigos back from the wilds of the world. Pacamama returned and since her return has been away again... crazy.. glad to have her back again tho!

Other than that, many things have remained the same. This time last year I had been on half term for 3 days and spent them all under a duvet watching tv... same has nearly happened this year too! who said teachers are boring! lol.

And so here i sit at stupid o clock on the sunday before it all begins again, wondering where my half term went.

The half term week of a teacher in factoids:

2 pumkins carved
too many hours slept
over 25 cups of tea drunk
100s of sweetie products eaten
12 times i laughed
4 times i cried
5 hours of work done
35 hours more work i should have done
4 cats i spent time with
1 friend i caught up with
4 relatives i caught up with
1 girlfriend i spent a full weekday with! woo hoo!
100s of pounds i pilfered in the name of entertainment
100s of pounds stephanie won during the same week
1 injured foot i gained while manically tidying for parents
6 piles of cat sick cleaned
1 stomach worm (from cat) disposed of with aforementioned sick
1 panic phone call to vets
12 loads of washing
7 moans about the weather
5 times i visited the same clothes shop but still bought nothing
2 bum cheeks hanging out of a gay man's jeans spotted in a huddersfield cafe
6 cat induced scratches on my wrists... honest guv
8 bags of clothes given to charity
4 rodent kill brought in by cats (hmmmm... now about that stomach worm....)
5 times i have lied about the amount of work i have to do
50 times i've moaned about the work i have to do
23 'other' jobs i've done instead of doing school work.
1 lamp thrown out
1 blind thrown out
3 bookshelves resigned to the cellar (any takers?)
1 surf board finally packed away for the winter
£93 spent on 3 days shopping... not sure how that happened.. thank goodness for ma and pa!
7 days spent doing nothing productive!!

so now i shall fall into a pre panic sleep and have nightmares of unresponsive children and stomach tapeworms killing me in my sleep!!!

Job swap anyone?!
