The importance of being idle...

I have had possibly one of the laziest starts to a New Year than I ever thought possible. My sister Nikki and I have practically lived in our matching leopard print onsies and eaten most of the leftover Christmas chocolates; there are plenty of fudges spare though because we think they are bleeeeeaaauurgh!

I have finally started to get my bottom into gear and do something productive with my life, such as writing this blog post ;) Here are a few of my latest musings...


What Christmas present have I actually used the most?
Today was the first day I have actually done something worthwhile as my teaching planning was long overdue! So I spent my day looking at a whole manner of information on Romans, soil, 2D shapes and plays. This sudden organisation made me utterly thankful for my new Song Bird Filofax which has allowed me to sort out my life for the next 6 months; Jenny levels of oragnisation! It also helps that it is in a beautiful purple birdy pattern which makes it more likely that I will use it, simple minds eh?

Are there actually any good places to eat in Wolverhampton?
Me and my friend Dally always have a Starbucks date or a lunch date whenever we are both home from Uni  and our next one is tomorrow and I thought we should try something new (how cliché with it being new year and all. tut Jennifer). It took me aaaaaaaages to find somewhere that actually looked decent and had a menu worth looking at; Dally is a veggie so we have to make sure there is enough variety for her aswell! Finally I came accross this Eat in Wolverhampton guide which has loads of places to choose from whether you want a fancy restaurant or some good ol' pub grub. There are even some printable vouchers at the end that offer 2-for-1, £5 off or save 20%. We decided we would try Walkabout as they had the most interesting menu, they even serve Kangaroo! I have been there plenty of times as a bar/club so it is about time I sampled their daytime delicacies.

Am I even excited to go to the pantomime tomorrow?
If any of you are from Wolverhampton, or watch 'Have I got news for you' then you will know why I am concerned about this matter. Apparently there are no Dwarves in this production of Snow White. Instead there are children, with dwarf masks, with pre-recorded dwarf voices. I am very concerned indeed. Watch this space!


Is there such a thing as too much Harry Potter?
One of the most exciting Christmas presents I got this year has got to be the Harry Potter Lego game for the Wii! Me and Nikki had the first game last year and it is sooooo addictive; there are so many things to unlock and we literally could not rest until we had got 100% and unlocked Lord Voldemort!

I also got my tickets for the Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour which I have known about for months but I  am now even more ridiculously excited about this!!! I am definitely going to save some birthday money to buy myself a wand or some bertie botts beans :D :D :D Nikki has been checking the updates all Christmas and it has been revealed that you can walk down Diagon Alley, sit in Dumbledore's office and even visit Hagrid's Hut. AMAZING!!!!!




and to top it all off, I have watched philosopher's stone, half blood prince and prisoner of azkaban all in the past week.

People are never too old for the sealife centre!
I went to the Sea Life Centre Birmingham with James as our last date before we both went off to Uni and embarked on our long long long distance relationship and now we are going again. I'm thinking of making it a yearly tradition. I know that we are going to spend hours in the glass tunnel watching all the fishes swim past and hoping for a glimpse of the GIANT TURTLE! James is more interested by the sharks but I know he understands my weird fascination with turtles :) Here is a piccie from last year..


What ever happened to Kate Nash?
I used to quite like her. I was sorting out some old things in my room and found her album in a box under my bed. Let us listen..



Is blogging the future?
Both my housemate and my boyfriend have blogs now thanks to me :P here they are..




I hope you all like my new layout design.. it took me forever to find that little piece of me.

Until next time
