Ok, in a blatant bit of plagiarism, I have copied this from Tim's blog. A bit of fun for those of you wrestling with revision, etc. And indeed for those of you who aren't too!

Put the answers to the following questions in my comments box:
1. Who are you?
2. Have we ever met?
3. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
4. Describe me in one word.
5. What reminds you of me?
6. If you could give me anything, what would it be?
7. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
8. Are you going to put this on your weblog and see what I say about you?
9. What do you love like a fat kid loves cake?
10. What makes you come back here?


Woo! 2 blog updates in 1 day. Aren't you lucky! :o)

Am I going to Scarborough fair?

Well, the answer to that has got a little clearer. I have the date for my interview - Tuesday 9th May. A bit scary, but at the same time, I'm glad that I've got this far.

They've sent me a leaflet thing, all about 'Creativity' which I have to read and I'll have to do some "written tasks" with it when I get there. There will also be group and individual interviews.
All a bit daunting, but I'll give it my best.

The more I think about it, the more I really want to go there! :o)

Yorkshire (and proud!)

Just a quick one to say that I have been offered an interview for Scarborough's Primary PGCE course. (details)
I don't know when yet - I'll update again in a couple of days when I know more... :o)

Major Decisions

Given that I've graduated, this is probably a bit silly, but still kinda encouraging that it thinks I made the right decision. Let me know what you get... What is your Perfect Major? (PLEASE RATE ME!!<3) You scored as Mathematics. You should be a Math major! Like Pythagoras, you are analytical, rational, and when are always ready to tackle the problem head-on!

Submission II

To update on the situation for next year, this afternoon I re-submitted my form to the GTTR for teacher training next year

This time it's winging its way to Scarborough, for a course in Lower Primary teaching. (Well, the Scarborough campus of the University of Hull).

Sweeping to Victory...

Well, there you are - the results of the Baby Laynesmith Sweepstakes...

Matthew Simon Reuben Laynesmith was born on 28th March, weighing 8lb 3oz.

So, David & Tim get a Divine bar each for being closest on weight and date respectively. Plus, well done to Helen, Steve, David, Liz & Tim who all guessed correctly the baby would be a boy.
