Now if I remember rightly
Cinderella ....she was always the
ugly duckling and never went to any of the balls or parties. Well at school I was very much the Cinderella in that I never went to the
big parties.....and no
"princes" at school ever placed a
glass slipper on my foot but........ a classmate did
break my shoe when I was walking up the stairs to an art class.
To be honest I'm not even sure how he managed to stand on my foot as I have
size 3-not exactly getting in the way. I then decided it would be best to wear
backless shoes....and as it was summer it was a
good choice. I seemed to remember that my
style caught on and
loads of people had them on the week after..... this seemed to happen a few times and more at college...
I was a bit disorganised to say the least and not the
prettiest either but now I think my glass slipper moment will be at
our wedding and it will fit perfectly. School was one of those places where the
pretty girls wore makeup with perfect hair, the high heels from
somewhere fashionable and skirts they would role up to make even shorter....
Me, I was just not that girl.....I had braces, I always had
bags and bags of stuff in a disorganised manner. I
normally had a hockey stick which would often be dragged along the floor because I had
too much stuff, art folders that were
bigger that me and my bulky clarinet that I actually never practised and was quite
terrible at it..... (it was a good job we lived in the country side) I should have definitely stuck to what I know...being a bit of an
art geek.... I was constantly dropping stuff or
losing my bus pass which was always
at the bottom of my bag along with my house keys. I would then go into a panic and start emptying my
marry Poppins bags out on to my friend on the bus to find the lost items-this was an
every day occurrence. I often would
leave my art folder on the coach by accident, once it was the
day before my art GCSE exam- such a
doughnut!!! Luckily the bus driver knew it was mine and brought it back the next day as I was for ever doing this and at college I seemed to forget it
quite often.....
I also always seem to have
unfortunate mishaps with a lot of my personal items which have ended up in various
sad state of affairs from being lost or dropped
down the toilet or fallen into the sea ... !!!
Oh yes I had dropped my phone in the sea when I had been on
art trip at college and one of my friends look like she had fallen into the sea so I
scrabbled over the rocks and then me and my
phone went flying at which point I heard her
burst out laughing from the friend who seem to have pulled her head
out of the rock pool... at which she fell about laughing because of my rather
haphazard rescue attempt.!!! That night we tried to dry it out and then it started to
vibrate loudly in the middle of night and the same friend who had looked like she may have
been drowning told us
half a sleep that it was her
lunch box vibrating and it must be
the sandwiches her mum had made!!! So funny!! Least to say the
salt water killed my phone and since then not much has improoved-
my last victim was my Iphone after having it for a few weeks it slipped out of my trouser pocket as I was getting out of my car and the
screen cracked-Nightmare!!! This is not an
isolated incident, I fell
into a river on a geography trip and as I
went slidding down the bank I
grabbed the nearest thing which happened to be a friend and we both
ended in the river drenched from head to toe........... I remember having to change into some spare trousers as I had rather
soggy trousers and pants......before doing the
walk of shame and getting back on the bus....and I wonder why I hated school with such
embarrassing memories such as this....
I have lost count of the cameras that I have been through but I think it was a
good idea to have put an
under water camera on our wedding list-
GENIUS just in case lol!!! Any way my
Cinderella moment is not long now!! I am getting
so excited and more relaxed now everything is organised!!! I am just
keeping an eye on our wedding list...It's actually a very
odd concept a wedding list, having been brought up
not to ask for gifts....any way I am off to organise a few
last minute things and to find a dress for my hen do......
so toodles xxx
