Dipping my toe back in...

Is it too late to say Happy New Year?

My New Year resolution? To get back to blogging, of course. I've missed it, but it just kept slipping to the back of the line.

As a quick catch-up, here's a list of what has kept me from posting over the last 5 or 6 (5 or 6???!!! oh, the shame...) weeks:



  • 2 more assignments...handed in...quite pleased with...Maths and English...handed back at the beginning of February.



  • first school placement...loved every minute...not scared of Year 6 anymore...will return in April for another 5 weeks.



  • Christmas! I was totally unprepared until the day I broke up from uni, but by some miracle, managed to pull it off and feed 20 for lunch on Christmas Day...don't ask!






  • The addictive nature of SingStar on PS3...I'll have you know, that I am the top score for Fernando...and I can't sing a note...more on this later...


  • A trip into town to see the lights...2 adults, 6 children...only one thing for it...wine...ribs...Planet Hollywood...(not too much wine, I am a responsible adult, after all!)



  • Cleaning...yuk!...copious amounts needed after taking down the decorations. Something that I have quietly neglected on any semblance of a regular basis since starting uni...something had to give, didn't it?

  • Yarn-love...I have managed to complete my third Syd rabbit. I don't think I posted about #2, it was way back in August, I think. But, #3 is for this new baby boy.

I start back at uni on Monday with 3 new modules to start - Enquiry through Science, Our World and Inspiring Creativity and Imagination. To say I can't wait is an understatement.

I won't go mad on this first post of 2009 for fear of early burn-out, but I'm glad to be back and let me assure you that I have been reading your blogs and will, I promise, get back into commenting.

  2. Good grief woman. Lunch for 20?? I don't think I know 20 people. And they certainly wouldn't fit in my house for lunch. Unless it was done picnic style on the floor...
    Am delighted that your course is going well, you thoroughly deserve to be loving every second of it. Yay you!
    Will let you get back to the dusting...heehee

  5. It's so good to hear from you - had assumed (rightly it seems) that life was just hectic. But it's great to hear you sounding like you're enjoying it.

    And 20 people??!

  6. I'm glad you're still around, and that you survived the big class! It does sound fabulous, if hectic!

    I hope you didn't spend your *entire* holiday cooking and cleaning ;-)

  7. Yay! So good to 'see' you - I too had thought of you over Christmas and wondered how things were. Cooking for 20 though? Good grief woman, here's a medal.

    Lovely bunny - what with the blanket, that is one lucky little fellow.

    Happy New Year. x

  9. I'm still so impressed with all the wonderful work you're doing. And it sounds like you're enjoying every minute of it!

    I can't believe how much you did over the holidays. I didn't accomplish nearly so much, and I didn't have any classes to attend or assignments to hand in!

    It's so lovely to have you back :)
