Aarrgghhhhh

Hi there ,
 What a week it's been.....
 Work has been manic but I tied up some good deals that will see the benefits next year, I love my job -most days ..... I work in sales and have an area to cover which keeps me very busy.

This week I've also played Netball twice, made 18 juggling balls, baked cakes gone shopping been to a guides meeting, met friends for coffee, helped a friend in need, had a manicure and facial, cooked tea every night, taken a child to A&E and done loads of paperwork related to rainbows... All this with the aid of NO alcohol ... Just a normal week for me!

So where to start ... back to netball with England Netball http://www.englandnetball.co.uk/my-game/back-to-netball
Was brilliant, in fact so good by Wednesday night Chloe and I were in a team called Pick & Mix and playing in a league- we lost 17-16 but came back from 11-2 down so very chuffed with that but boy did I forget how fit you need to be - the fact that twice I was asked by a twentysomething if I was ok was a little denting on the ego but I got through it and came off full of enthusiasm to go again - which is better than Chloe, who came off with an injured finger which it transpired was actually a fractured knuckle - so telling her to man up half way into the game didn't go down well .... Bad mom !

Also on the downside.... who knew you can't have nails longer than the top of your fingers for netball and oh did they check ! I felt like I was 9 again and Miss Sandland (anyone who went to Leighswood school will remember her - best netball coach ever) was checking my nails in PE - I had flashbacks to enormous navy knickers and and yellow PE tops. So it was declared they were too long and the clippers came out - I nearly cried as I hacked the top off all my beautifully manicured long black shiny nails .... Lord help my manicure lady Nessy I thought when she see this, but all fixed now and if I'm going to be the oldest netball player on the block - well in this house anyway -I'm going to have to get used to my ultra short nails - the sacrifices I make for my art .....

This week I also got my party dress for the weekend - as part of my year of celebrations, which has included in the first month; afternoon tea with my good friend Jo-Jo , Girls Aloud with my little sis Angela , a meal at the curry house and lots of pressies, this weekend I have booked an apartment in the city centre and a bunch of us are having a mad 24 hours and going out dancing ect but i'll save all the info for my next post... We have hoodies and everything ... More about my hoodie fetish in another post ....

So thanks for reading .... If anyone is! Please feel free to leave comments, insights, thoughts or questions , no negatives please if you have nothing nice or positive to say be quiet or STFU in basic terms.
Stay tuned for more 40something ramblings....
