The girls and I had a lovely time last night. We snuggled up on the sofa and watched Stitch the Movie, with popcorn. I had a beer. I got a good night's sleep, but I'm having weird dreams at the moment. I suppose there's a lot whizzing round in my head. We are off to Leicester to look at the shops this morning.

It's finally over - I've finished my teacher training. It's been a long, hard slog and I'm completely exhausted, but I've got there - I'm a teacher! More soon when I've had some sleep, and I'll catch up on all you lovely people too. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................
