Hi there,

so this week has been one of the most stressful of my teaching career so far...

I think it may have something to do with the fact that I had about 4 hours of sleep last weekend at anna's hen do! It was so much fun but it totally wiped me out this week. I am so cr*p with no sleep now, I could so do it when I was a student!!! Maybe I need more practise at staying up late!

So anyway, anna's hen weekend was fab, I think she really enjoyed it especially her stripper... We went to Helen's on friday night and out to dinner, then saturday was the start of the fun... We had a 2 hour pole dancing lesson, which I was quite nervous about but was in fact SOOOOO MUCH FUN! I loved it, I was awful at it but the lady teaching us the routine was so nice and kept complementing us on our fantasic pole dancing moves - the photos tell otherwise.

From pole dancing we went on to high tea in a posh hotel near harrods, then back to rachel's to get ready and drinking games before the stripper arrived!!! It really was hilarious... I would have died if it was me but anna handled it so well and I think she quite liked it!!!

We then went clubbing till like 3am!!!

I travelled back on sunday and slept all afternoon, but then turned up at school on monday still tired and more unprepared than usual, I am usually so organised on a monday. I kept forgetting stuff and just felt wiped out in the evening. It is so silly, I really need to train my body to be a normal 25 year old and stay up late, rather than an old woman going to bed at 9 every night...

Diet sucks... I have however played hockey twice now and hav loved it. It really makes me sweaty and out of breathe so it must be doing me some good, I now need to build up going to the gym more and still eat less... which is so much harder than I have ever found it before. I can'tseem to stop eating, especially when I feel tired and hormonal, all I want is chocolate....!!! ragh!!

well no more news from me, chat soon,
