It's Inspiration Monday with the two birds and it's Ashley Tisdale in a very short dress and funky boots! Obviously, I look nothing like her. Firstly, that is a large amount of flesh on show and secondly, she's wearing a necklace like Jareth, King of the Goblins from Labyrinth! And thirdly, she has a funky embroidered jacket. STILL, inspiration it is and I shall take from it what I can (I like it, but lack the items or temperature!)
So I just went with the boots then and the dark short thing (and a feature necklace of course!)
I am a little sad about these boots. I've been admiring them on the Clarks website for an age and finally, since my black ankle boots that I wear often to school are really worn down at the heels, I thought I'd buy them. They actually only arrived today. BUT, they feel extraordinarily tight and really not Clarks' usual size 8! I am wondering if they will stretch a bit, because other than that, they are great- pretty and the heel is low but not too low that it will wear down in an instant! And they're leather, so always good. I don't know, what do you think? Should I see if they stretch a bit? They're not totally and utterly uncomfortable but I am aware of the sides being close on all sides to my foot, if you know what I mean?

Here, I decided to do the 'Blogger showing shoes pose'- one looks down at one's shoe and makes like you're trying to grab your heel! I almost fell over! It kind of reminds me of those Egyptian cave paintings where they would be painted with ALL their body parts showing, feet and all, because they thought that image would take them onto the afterlife with all their body parts!
FYI, the skirt was a recent magpie thrift find, the necklace is Wolf and Moon (via Sunday upmarket), cardie is Monsoon and the black top is an Icelandic gift!

So I was back to reality today and though it sucked on a grand scale, it wasn't too bad (apart from a 25 minute queue at the ticket office this morning!!!). Yes, yes, I know those of you that only get 4 weeks holiday a year, I get it, that's really not much holiday. But it still was horrid going back especially after lots and lots and lots of prep at the weekend!
This week is a really busy week, lots happening! Rehearsals galore at school and outside of school Friday is now officially my absolutely worst day all week. I get absolutely no break now from 9 to 4.25 (having of course been travelling for an hour to get to school from 7.30ish and then having to run around getting stuff ready in school before 9) - I previously this term, managed to grab 5 mins at lunch just before orchestra but now KS1 lunchbreak times have been made to end 15minutes earlier, instead of running out of orchestra and getting down to the playground to fetch a class, I have to run and relieve an already annoyed teacher who is losing 15 minutes of their PPA time! (it's actually also now the same on Tuesday, except I can grab about 8 minutes break!) It's all to make things safer and better for the children in playground space but still, it's going to be hard! To top that, it's my birthday on Friday! Aghrgh, I am going to be over the halfway mark to 35! We're going for a meal on a boat on the Thames on Saturday, thanks to an experience voucher I was given! Not sure what else? I was hoping to go swing dancing on Saturday night but not sure if that will happen or not as it's in Watford which is a bit of a trek! CBC asked what I wanted for my birthday and I had mentioned that I'd really like to go to Dolly Clackett's beginners dress-making class in Leamington spa in a couple of weeks but not sure- I've used a sewing machine but not regularly or for ages (or can I remember how, and nor do I own one) and I am a pretty useless person at doing things that are 3d- what do you think? Should I do it?
I've already bought the snacks for school on Friday as it's tradition to bring in treats on your own birthday. I have two other colleagues with the same birthday plus one child in Year 6!! She always remembers we share a birthday!
Right, I have a stonking headache and am off to bed. A more sensible person would have bypassed all this and done that straight away!
Hugs to y'all xx
