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
