Maths teacher | Callie and Rorie's Mummy | Bookworm | Coffee addict | I'm too short for twister, roller coasters and sitting with my feet on the floor!
For teachers a perk of the job is knowing you can spend every Christmas with family & friends.
So, if like me you find yourself alone this Christmas be kind to yourself.
Rorie and I send lots of love and hugs to whomever needs them today🖤#christmasisnotcancelled#ChristmasCats

Dreams really do come true. 🤩 #newcar#minicooper#minicooperconvertible
I honestly can’t describe to you how much I wish I could afford the original Mr Blobby costume that’s being sold on eBay. Imagine cutting around school in that, just casually bouncing into classrooms, knocking everything over and then leaving chaos. Dream of a life time.

I love to read actual books, but honestly audiobooks are the background noise of my life. I listen before bed, while cooking or cleaning, in the car or in the bath.The opportunities to immerse myself in an audio book are limitless. #160reads#goodreads2022 https://t.co/HYqOtoqbcs
