Well as we mentioned we managed to get a holiday to Cyprus booked eariler in the year, and God has great timing as it was definately need by us both after a very busy few months since Chrimbo.

I some how managed to be allowed to be away for Holy Week at Church which in itself was a miricle as i have been involved for the last 4 years!! So here are some of the real photos from the trip.

Cyprus, sans beard

One of the conditions put upon me growing a beard is that i had to shave it off when went on holiday. So with much sadness in my heart and much joy in Becca's, i shaved it off and and did some facial hair experiments along the way.....

The beard - just like me dads!

'The Lemmy'

'The Morgan Spurlock'

'The John Lennon '67'

'The Hitlers 'Tache'

(however looks more like Captain Mainwaring from Dads Army !)

Will post with some other (less interesting) pics from holiday soon(ish).

The Inspectors have been

Well sorry it's been soooo long since I posted. Life in Sheffield has been rather crazy over the last few weeks.
I lost last week to the mists of time as we had OFSTED inspectors in school. My weekend was spent marking books and planning lessons, making multiple copies of everything and genurally not have alot of fun!! (I know I like admin but this taking it too far!)

They came and went in 2 days and thankfully they didn't come to see me. Of this a was soooo thankful - praise the Lord! The school did OK and i'm just glad that it over now for another 3 years.

Life has just about returned to normal and i've caught up on my sleep. Thanksfull we booked holiday in Nov for next week so looking forward to sitting on the beach and reading for a week. I'm sure lots of Adam's holiday pic will appear after so be warned, he loves taking pics.

Will try and be better at this blogging thing and post more soon.

Love ya all

Reality is an Illusion Caused by Lack of Alcohol

I've given up alcohol for lent. It's hell.

I'm growing a beard too! I look silly. It itches like buggery.

More proper news when something interesting happens.

New House and Ikea here we come!!

Well as i'm on 1/2 term at the moment i took a trip with Ma & Pa Woodhead to the mecca that is Ikea. Today i was very good only spending less than a tenner (which is very restrained for me) but i picked up lots of brochers. With our own house to decorate and furnish i can really go to town!! Adam has told me the kitchen is my choice so i'm already collecting ideas and pictures to create my plan!! Oh I love orgainsing stuff!

Unfortunately the snow only lasted a day and melted away very quickly :( and now we're back to the greyness of a northern winter!
Can't wait for the spring!

25 years of mortgage slavery here we come

As you know we put an offer in on a house the other day and due to some hard bargaining by my good-self the offer was accepted! So we're just waiting for surveys and solicitors to get sorted. It needs a shed-load of work doing to it before we can move in but it's on a nice little road in Walkley (we'll give the address out when we've completed), within 5 minutes walk from about 6 pubs!

More importantly the mighty Sheffield United beat Spurs 2 - 1 at the weekend at 'Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane', and i was lucky enough to be there. the win puts us 10 points clear of the relegation zone, which is great with only 12 or so games to go.

Snowflake on the M25.......the end is nigh.

Rant.....
So, there was a few centimetres of snow in the South and the Midlands and the BBC would have you think that society as we know it has collapsed. Pathetic. You'd think we'd understand by now that in Europe there's quite a healthy chance that we'll have a bit of snow in Winter. I interviewed a couple of blokes from Poland yesterday and they couldn't believe how sad the British are when it snows. It's not as if we have as much snow as we used to 10-15 years ago, we we used to get 2 to 3 feet twice a year. How did we cope!?

Is this really the same country that conquered the world and had the greatest Empire in history? The same nation that was responsible for the 'miracle of Dunkirk'? The very race of people who gave the world - the internal combustion engine, penicillin, The Beatles and Cheddar cheese? What's happened to us, when did we become so pathetic?

.....end rant.
