Half-Term Happenings

Well, I've been off nearly a week now for half-term (it's great being in school and not uni), but I wouldn't say I've done very much. I've seen a lot of TV, I've done some of my washing (which is an achievement!), kept my room fairly tidy (also an achievement), booked a hair appointment (I'm definitely NOT going to reveal what the new look will be) and went for lunch. I HAD planned to get ALL my schemes up to date for teaching, I still do (I have to) but instead of that being Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday, it's now going to be Friday, Saturday and Sunday's activity!

Last Saturday I decided to paint a mug for Lee-Anne, for her birthday. I had a little accident while doing this; It's called forgetting that things that come out of the oven are hot and you need to wear oven gloves. Hence, I've an ugly burn that could have just as easily been on my ring finger, except it's on the other hand...phew! Although I don't think I'm ever going to need that finger to look good at the rate I'm going! Would it be too pretentious of me to put up a picture of the mug I'm so proud of? Hopefully not because I'm going to anyway!
