A goth in trainers, running!!!

A hugely unflattering picture but as I have previously mentioned I am pregnant, tired, hungry and in a lot of pain.

We walked the race for life today (with a little bit of running at the end) for my God-father Grahame who passed away and my friend Bear who is winning his battle. It was a great day and the atmosphere was great. I had to stop reading everyone's back labels about who they were running for as I kept wanting to cry. I would love to raise loads of money, so would be really grateful if you would sponsor me. Anything you can afford would be so gratefully recieved. Just click on the link below to donate.



Thank you

WOO HOO I'm growing another gothling!!!

That's right folks I'm pregnant again. 12 weeks now. I had a scan on Thursday and there is definitely a baby in there (and only 1 thank the Goddess).



So far I have been feeling sick, exhausted and my boobs are huge and very sore. To top it all my back is playing up and I can't take my horse pills (much much pain). If I didn't know I was geeting such a big prize at the end of it (well in mid November) I would be fairly pissed off already.

Tomorrow I'm going to buy some sensible shoes and some work clothes that will be comfy and glam. Hmmm, Appatemyly Blooming Marvelous is having a sale.

More later, on other things.

I've been a little absent...

My humble apologies, all will become clearer later (in about a month). For now a little something from a Twitter friend. Enjoy.

Everyday is silent and grey

I have been to Gt Yarmouth. It is March! Everytime I go to Yarmouth in the winter I can't stop hearing The Smith's 'Everyday is like Sunday' So I thought I would share it to you. One is a live performace and the second is the original video, but the YouTube police have taken off the audio (Duh!)




We went because Little Miss made a special request to go to the pool with the waves and slide. One of her bigger friends had been on the slide last time (in the summer) she had been with TheAngel. So she wanted to too, and she did, about 150 times, with me! She is too small for me to let her out of my sight so where she went so did I. Unfortunately the wave machine wasn't working, neither were the gents showers or the gents loo and I have so say, nice though the pool and changing facilities were a bit shabby.

The final straw came whe we waked out and I saw a HUGE poster advertising £600 for your tales of sexual woe, weight loss or other emotional trauma for those women's weekly magazines. Yes, people really do make money from people's trauma!

Making another Gothling

Yes, that's right folks. We're trying for a baby. I can hear many of my friends whooping with delight as they read this as they ganged up on me late last year as told me money was not a good enough reason for not having a baby.

There is still one problem. Mechanical contraception has been been taken out of the equation (with a pair of pliers longer than my arm!!!!!) but there is still the small noisy one who likes to get into bed with Mummy & Daddy of a morning. Mostly I fall asleep before my head hits the pillow (too much work makes Goth Mum sleeeeeepy) but we have a standing offer of sleep overs and I really will stop working quite so much one day (maybe after the new PCs are in, or our big inspection is over, or the whole new curriculum I have to develop, or the new classrooms we are going to have to move into or the .... oops)

Anyhoo I will keep you all updated.

Here Be Dragons...

Goth Dad took Little Miss and me to lunch today and then we went to the appointed place to see some Chinese Dragon dancing. IT WAS FANTASTIC as I hope you can see from the videos attached. These were taken on my phone so the quality isn't too good (sorry). Goth Dad grew up in the far east so is used to stuff like this but it was all new to me and I LOVED IT.

This was all part of the Norwich Dragon Festival. Norwich has a huge history of Dragons from Snap to the brilliant Dragon Hall and not forgetting the Norwich Beer Festival OK, so I had a great day but pizza has just arrived.

Ciao

Mathmatical Music

Not much to say about this. It combines two of my obsessions, music and math. Go figure LOL.
