This week wasn't quick enough!

The week started really really badly for me - I was off to work, plenty of time to spare and not a care in the world when the traffic in front of me on the motorway came to a standstill, in the fast lane....I knew what was going to happen next so I left myself enough space that I didn't hit the car in front and waited for the thump - not a goo way to start the week at all - could have been worse though and I am just glad that Sophie wasn't in the car.

The insurance company have very kindly arranged for the humiliation of being in an accident to continue by giving me a champagne pink Peugot 208 - thanks guys!

Meanwhile Katie and Sophie were off to messy monsters - where the kids get to go wild with paint, jelly, flour and cornflakes - making as much mess as they can and eating whatever they like.

The week for me went from bad to worse when on Thursday I lost my Wedding ring during a Long Jump lesson, I was certain I must have lost it in the sand so after a frantic search, asking the pupils to help, and buying a really crap metal detector - I thought, "the only answer here is a seive". I borrowed one from the science department and I went down to the pits again Friday after school.

After about 40 minutes of digging and sifting the ring popped up and i nearly fell over - I couldn't believe it. I am now going to get it surgically attached to my finger - ok, so not really but I will need to think of something.

To round off the craziest of weeks with very little craziness indeed, we were out for a meal for my very young Aunt Christine's birthday (she told me to say that bit ;o). It was lovely to be out and we saw all the family along with David's family too. Sophie was brilliant and wanted to run about the restaurant - we finally got her home at about 8.45 and she slipped back off to sleep almost instantly. A perfect end to a not so perfect week.
