Delays Expected Looking For Mr Rabbit
If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly.
My agent had a peek at Looking For Mr Rabbit and quoted my mother back to me:
‘From the very beginning, she made it quite clear she was not going to be fobbed off with kind words and gentle handling. If she was hungry, she wanted feeding immediately – no waiting….’
The book is far from ready and needs a bloody good edit, with a bloody good editor, which I am going to have to pay for. On the bright side, he said some wonderful things too. It’s official I can write!!
So I am now on journey and I don’t know when it’s going to end.
It might be, of course, that I self publish and be damned, then move on because it’s done and gone – finished. Out of my system. I have to think about it. This is terrible but I like it’s integrity and I don’t want to lose it’s honesty. The truth is awful. Life is awful. I drank tequila and hooch at university in a shit bar, in Union St, Plymouth. I am awful. There is nothing polished about me. Ultimately, I like it and the journey it takes me, including it’s awfulness. As a whole body I like that it’s my actual honest, awful life.
BUT it needs to be the best of my writing. It needs to flow and so I ask you to bear with me as I may be sometime.
Please follow my writing journey on You Tube. I’ll keep you regularly updated.

Top Tips for Planning an Unforgettable Event
Planning a party or function? These days, it’s difficult to do something that hasn’t already been done before.
Whether you’re planning a special birthday party, a wedding, or an important corporate function such as a product launch, here are some top tips to make your event unique and really stand out from the crowd.
1. Location, location, location
What’s the typical venue for a party, conference or other event? A hotel? A bar? Or perhaps, a function room? To really make your event unforgettable, you need to think outside of the box. Think about hiring somewhere different such as a local attraction or museum. Your guests will get time to explore the venue, making your event truly remarkable.
2. The element of surprise
Giving your guests something they completely do not expect will have them talking about your party for months. Entertainment Company Incognito Artists provides singing waiters for all types of functions. It could be the chef or the waiter who has been serving the guests all night long who will get up and start belting out popular west end tunes or opera songs, leaving your guests in complete awe. According to their customer testimonials, their talented singing waiters really do leave party guests astounded.
3. Pick a theme
Yes, maybe not the most original idea in the world, but if done properly then your party will be the talk of the town. It need not be a generic theme; you can pick any random thing and just go with it. It could be a colour, a time in history, glow in the dark, movies – anything at all. Incorporate your theme into the invitations, dress code, food, decorations and entertainment for maximum effect.
4. Get the guests involved!
Interaction always equals higher engagement, and more importantly higher enjoyment! Getting your guests involved will certainly keep them entertained. You could get your guests involved with tried and tested tricks like a chocolate fountain or a photo booth with costumes for people to dress up in – they always tend to be a hit. Or you could go for something newer. Why not try the giant games that are becoming more and more popular? Games like giant Connect Four or a life size Jenga that is the same height as a grown man? Now that will get people talking!

How classroom layout affects student learning
How classroom layout affects student learning
Schools are becoming increasingly aware of the potentially significant impact that classroom design can have on student learning. In part, this is thanks to new research that has highlighted the connection between classroom layout and pupil achievements.
Compelling figures
One study into this topic found that classroom setups can affect a youngster’s academic progress over the course of a year by as much as 25 per cent. The research, which was published in the journal Building and Environment, was undertaken by a team from the University of Salford and the architect company Nightingale Associates.
The year-long pilot study focussed on 715 pupils from seven local authority primary schools in Blackpool. Researchers collected data from each student, including their age, gender and performance level in subjects such as maths, reading and writing at the start and end of the academic year. They also evaluated the children’s classroom environments, taking into account issues such as natural light, orientation, noise, temperature, storage facilities and flexibility of space.
They concluded that 73 per cent of the variation in pupil performance driven at the class level was explained by the building environment factors they had measured.
If you’re feeling inspired to create superb learning spaces for the children in your school, take a look at these top tips.
Teacher desks
No classroom is complete without a teacher desk. Ideally, this should be located close to the whiteboard and in full view of the whole class. However, it’s important to bear in mind that rather than spending most of their time sitting or standing behind these items, teachers can benefit from walking around their classrooms. This helps to keep students engaged and can stop their concentration from wandering. It also enables teachers to assist pupils who are struggling.
Student desks
To make it easy for teachers, and others, to move freely about classrooms, it’s a good idea to leave plenty of floor space free. This means it’s better to group students’ desks together rather than disperse them throughout the room.
There are a number of different layouts to choose from. For example, you may favour rows. These setups can help ensure that all pupils have a good view of the whiteboard and it can also minimise off-task discussions. However, it’s not ideal for group work. Another option is to place desks in clusters. These arrangements are perfect for project work and discussions, but bear in mind that they can make it hard for teachers to establish eye contact with students from the front of the room.
If possible, you should leave enough floor space in your classroom to allow your students to gather together for tasks such as quiet reading, games and discussions.
Plenty of storage
Plenty of good quality storage is a must in these environments too. You will need somewhere to keep all of your students’ books, paperwork, stationery and other resources. Being able to tidy these items away neatly will help ensure teachers can maintain order in the rooms. In turn, this will benefit pupils’ concentration.
Attractive displays
As well as thinking carefully about furniture, it is necessary to consider the overall look of your classroom. For example, attractive displays can help to bring the spaces to life and they can fire youngsters’ imaginations. If possible, you should include students’ work in these displays as this can give them a real sense of pride.
Plenty of light is a must too. It’s important to maximise any natural light in the spaces and you can supplement this with good quality artificial lighting.
The payoff
Achieving an effective classroom layout does require some time and effort, but the payoff can be immense. It can help to enhance concentration, support learning, improve behaviour and enrich the relationships between students and staff members.
If you’re on the lookout for new tables, chairs, trays, drawers, bookcases or other similar items for your school, you can head to firms such as Furniture At Work™.

Great ideas for the ultimate ‘staycation’
Great ideas for the ultimate ‘staycation’
It’s now easy to book flights to numerous far-flung locations across the globe, but some of the very best holiday destinations are right here on our doorstep. If you want to cut your carbon footprint and enjoy breaks in the UK, it’s worth considering the following ‘staycation’ options.
The Lake District
For sheer beauty, it’s hard to beat the Lake District. This mountainous region in the north-west of England covers a total of 2,292 square kilometres and is home to an array of impressive peaks, such as the precipitous Scafell Pike, which stands at 978 metres high. Meanwhile, its seemingly endless lakes include Windermere, Ullswater and Coniston Water. The Lake District really is the perfect destination if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some peace and tranquillity.
There’s no shortage of visitor attractions in the area either. While there, you can check out the Lake District Visitor Centre at Brockhole, experience the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and even enjoy a spot of culture at the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick.
For the best experience, it’s worth choosing your accommodation carefully. Firms such as Lakelovers offer a variety of options, ranging from large traditional farmhouses to modern five-star apartments.
Cornwall
Another superb option if you’re planning a holiday in the UK is Cornwall. One of the warmest and sunniest spots in Britain, it is famed for its sandy beaches and blue seas. There is certainly plenty to keep you occupied in the county. Highlights include the Eden Project, the open-air Minack Theatre, the island of St Michael’s Mount and the village of Charlestown.
If you fancy some adrenaline-fuelled activities while you’re on vacation, take a trip to the aptly named Extreme Academy in Watergate Bay. There, you can take your pick from a host of sports, including land boarding, kite surfing, wave skiing and kite buggying.
Of course, you might prefer to simply relax and unwind on the golden beaches that line the coast. There are plenty of sandy spots to choose from, and the picturesque and friendly Sennen Cove Beach is a great option.
Anglesey
Wales isn’t short of superb holiday destinations either and the island of Anglesey is just one example. It benefits from scenic towns and villages, historic castles and mile upon mile of walking and cycling paths. In addition, much of its coastline has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. While on Anglesey, you might even be lucky enough to spot the dolphins that sometimes play in the sea not far from the shore.
One of the best ways to explore the island is by bike. Two of the UK’s nine official cycle routes are located in Anglesea. For example, the Lôn Las Copr, or NCN 566, is a 36-mile circular path that runs through the north-east of the island. It travels past the only working windmill in Wales and through the dramatic landscape of Parys Mountain.
Alternatively, the Lôn Las Cefni route runs for 13 miles and this is a great option if you want to check out the local nature and wildlife.
Cairngorms National Park
Situated in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, the Cairngorms National Park is another fabulous holiday option. This undulating and awe-inspiring area is the perfect place to go in winter for some skiing and snowboarding, while during the warmer months it is superb for mountain biking, walking, canoeing, rafting, sailing and orienteering.
The national park is also home to an array of visitor attractions, including the royal residence of Balmoral, the Glenlivet whisky distillery, Braemar Castle and the Highland Folk Museum.
Bear in mind though, whenever you’re exploring this part of the UK, it’s important to be safe. The large scale and challenging terrain of this national park mean it must be respected. Always take the right equipment and clothing when you set off on outdoor adventures and make sure you tell people where you’re going.

Love, Loyalty, Trust – All You Need Is Love
The last four years have been the toughest I have faced and I have been lucky to have some amazing people around me who have not passed judgement and have listened for hours as I pace my thoughts in a circular motion around my head. Some stayed the distance and some fell by the wayside, weary. Over my shoulder I can feel the scars where the knives were hanging out of my back, wounds from my former frenemies.
At the moment I am in the midst of the edit of my next book ‘Looking For Mr Rabbit’. It is my memoir, collage of the life of an ordinary 42 year old British woman – me. But truthfully, it’s a book about searching for love, trust and loyalty. As I read my toe curling writing, written over the years, and I face my younger self, I realise now that all of my mistakes have been made due to the quest to find love, loyalty and trust. ‘Looking For Mr Rabbit’ is a true story about love and growing up which I was forced to do, aged 2 years old, when my mother died. It’s a classic Disney film. I read an article recently that explained the rationale for parental bereavement in Disney films:
“In a revealing interview with Glamour, longtime Disney producer Don Hahn gave his two theories on why there are rarely any parents, or more specifically, mom characters in Disney films. One theory comes from a practical stand point, but the other theory stems from a truly tragic story from Walt Disney’s past.
“One reason is practical because the movies are 80 or 90 minutes long, and Disney films are about growing up. They’re about that day in your life when you have to accept responsibility. In shorthand, it’s much quicker to have characters grow up when you bump off their parents,” Don offers. “Bambi’s mother gets killed, so he has to grow up. Belle only has a father, but he gets lost, so she has to step into that position. It’s a story shorthand.”
‘Looking For Mr Rabbit’ is about growing up. I am very loving, loyal and trusting. Too much so. I am indeed a terrible judge of character and have made some grave errors in the past. I have walked open hearted into situations time and time again to be pooped on from an enormous height.
This week, I think I finally grew up. I decided to put the past behind me and make some significant changes to the way I present my life. I was making it too easy for the nay sayers to watch from afar so I have changed the settings on my Facebook account to private instead of public and I have shut down my second account. I have stopped pleading with the past to love me. It took Bambi 90 minutes to grow up and it’s taken me 42 years. I am not sure there is a happy ever after though.

So if you know me personally and have been reading my blog just to keep up-to-date so you can judge me and you can no longer see me on Facebook then you have been blocked mother fucker. Yes, it’s time for me to come to terms with the fact that some of the people that I actually thought were my friends, or even my family, are actually arseholes and best kept out of my life. Once again the military has proven to me that it is corrupt and nepotistic. Yes, bold words; but even in 2014 it’s still an old boy’s club where ego rules and truth fails. Fortunately, I don’t work for the military so it’s not my problem. I’ll leave that down to Hagar. He’s big, bad and ugly enough to look after himself. Onwards and upwards.
The toxicity of the past has been coarsing through my veins for far too long and it’s time to move on and learn lessons. I have learned who is definitely not my friend, who is not on my side, who I can and can’t trust. But most importantly, I have learnt that being there and loving your children is all that matters and my family is my everything and I am blessed by their gorgeousness. Love is everything. Love is a splendored thing. All you need is love. Love lifts us up where we belong.

Pop Surrealist Artist Natasha Letham Designing Cover for Looking For Mr Rabbit – my next book #comingsoon
Finally, we have a title for my latest book:
Looking For Mr Rabbit
Breaking News – Pop Surrealist Artist Natasha Letham is designing the cover for Looking For Mr Rabbit. She paints about dreams, feelings, pop surrealism and the elusive Mr Rabbit.
Natasha Letham, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, 28 February 1970. Now living and working in Uzès in the South of France. She studied at Edinburgh College of Art and exhibited in Edinburgh in the ‘90’s. Early works consisted mainly of figurative painting. From a family working in antiques and the Arts, uses vintage and nostalgic influences of a lost childhood in her more recent works. She uses childlike figures with an intention to convey a certain ambiguity, appearing quite pleasant yet often a disturbing or melancholic essence lies beneath. Recently discovering the Italian Pop Surrealist movement, she employs contemporary fears and troubles and attempts to cement them within a vintage environment.
Tash and me are with Mr Rabbit in Edinburgh circa 1994. At the time I wrote the poem ‘Looking For Mr Rabbit’
I wrote this poem before I met Hagar, one day with Tash at her house in Bell Place, in The Colonnies, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Looking for Mrs Rabbit
Beyond the day to day rigours of futile life,
Their souls are searching for the one who is right.
In the darkness of the blackest night,
They hunt and prowl and seek things that are out of sight.
Around every corner, unsuspecting they lurk.
They are not cautious mostly drunk and bezerk.
With cocks like steel they prowl.
At unsuspecting bunnies they growl.
Poke and prod. No one is safe from their dynamite rod.
These bunnies are naive yet wet.
Do they know what they are about to get?
Erect and eager they need to shunt
Their rock hard penis in her moist warm cunt.
Post coital. They want to leave.
Get up and go and let her grieve.
” I’m sorry sweetheart it was the grog.
I thought it wa syou but in fact you are a dog.”
I have 120,000 words that now need blending and editing. Every minute, of every day, I think, I need to edit my book and I resent every chore, every moment of domestic drudgery, that is keeping me away from my latest obssession. But I also know that I can’t rush this book. I need to do it properly. I rushed my first book and made many mistakes that I don’t want to repeat.
The first excerpt of Looking For Mr Rabbit is available to read on WattPad - http://www.wattpad.com/71435077-looking-for-mr-rabbit
Please read, share, comment, like, love – please help me build the audience and create anticipation.
I am going to be doing weekly updates on my You Tube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/amodmilitarymum
So please subscribe to keep updated with the book progress.

Spice Up Your Life With Old El Paso
I was asked to review some Old El Paso products and although I love hot spicy Mexican food the rest of my family have a milder pallet. We have tended to stick to our family favourites - fajitas because I can temper the taste to suit everyone’s needs without having to rustle up more than one meal. I would never have tried the other products but I am glad I did.
Everyone loved the Toasted Cheese Quesadillas and so easy and quick to cook and cheese-tastic. We’ll definitely be adding this to our family favourites.
Again, this was a great chicken dish, packed with veggies but also quick and simple to cook. A fabulous introduction to some new flavours to my fussy kids.
For me though the casseroles and stews were the dinner winners. There was no way I could tempt my kids to eat them but I thought they were fantastic.
The Spicy Habanero Chilli & Roasted Garlic I literally chopped up carrots, courgettes, and potato and seared the beef pieces. Then covered in a water with the spice mix and slow roasted for over an hour. It was delicious. Next time I am going to add kidney beans. I ate the stew with rice but it could easily be eaten with warm bread and butter. The same with the Paprika and Herbs mix – with this I made a slow roasted chicken pieces, carrots and chorizo dish which was out of this world. I served it with baked potatoes.
These great Mexican packages gave me food for thought and I have added them to my monthly shop as they certainly spiced up my life.

Time to relax with New Look Bingo
For a mum like me, there is no time to sit and relax. Packing off kids lunch boxes and making sure they have uniform ready for school is not exactly hassle-free at all! Phew, that’s the head start I get every morning except the weekends where I could snuggle in my bed for few more hours.
When the kids are away the only things I like to watch my favourite T.V shows and catch up with friends over coffee. Certainly, you reach a point where even these things get boring enough. One day I was heard a couple of ladies chit-chatting about this new bingo site they have come across. Well, I didn’t want to be nosey at all but wanted to hear a bit more, so dragged my chair closer to them. Their talk got me interested, I made up my mind that I have to check this site out soon.
I switched on my laptop, searched “New Look Bingo”. I definitely hit the score the moment I glimpsed, an attractive bonus that will get any one interested. Up to 900% welcome bonus, *whistle*, yup that was my exact reaction. I didn’t want to fall prey to any wrong sites, checked their credentials out and reviews. This Bingo site definitely looked like my cup of tea. I registered my details and start playing there. This took my fancy and I knew there was no more turning back for me. I have played in bingo sites and I enjoyed every bit of my time whenever I played in these games. I grew up playing bingo with my family and always had that rush feeling when drawing closer to the prize pot. Prize pots is what keeps me glued to the site, and definitely New Look Bingo has got that element right in their site. Lots of jackpots so more chances to win.
With the hassle-free chat games, I never felt out of place with other bingo players present in the same room. What’s more I look forward to playing here. I don’t stick only to Bingo game, I even play casino games. When I feel bit lucky, I try my hand at slots. However varied it could be, it does feel welcoming when I play in these games. Match the lines to win those special prizes. Even after we play these games, we feel refreshed. That’s the reason why we all love this game. I won’t even shy away saying that I do indeed like this site. Fascinating free bingo rooms along with their instant games. They gives us the constant entertainment which even sometime T.V. Shows fail to do.
So, next time friends, when you want to play online bingo for free, remember that I have told you about the fun games that are in store for everyone out there.

Real Life: Latest Book-date and Kids
I am full of good intentions; then the time vacuum sucks up all the minutes, and it’s a vortex of ‘can’t do everything’, but I am slowly wading through treacle and making positive headway.
The kids are back to school – hurrah. I can now try and focus on bringing all the loose ends together. The Grenade, now aged 11, has started a state comprehensive school. My old school no less. He’s loving it. I was anxious because it’s a big school, with around 360 pupils in his year alone, and over 1600 pupils in the school. I think there is so much buzz in the school, and so much energy, that as a child that can’t sit still, he can absorb it all much easier than most. He loves his uniform and he loves coming home at night. So far, the school stimulates him academically; but doesn’t stifle him. During his time at boarding school, he was met with a very conservative facism from the alpha males, who challenged his free thinking and eccentric ways. He stood up to the bullies, but recognised that their arrogance was unpleasant and wrong. He said to me ‘people at private schools think they are better than everyone else, mummy.’ Such wise words from a young soul.
He came home from his new school the other delightfully declaring he’d been called a c*nt – as if he had just achieved some glorious senior school rite of passage. Apparently he was looking at the Afro of a black kid – maybe in yr 8 – and the kid said ‘what the f*ck do you think you are staring at you little c*nt?’ Ironically, the Grenade, used to have a ‘fro that he called Steve, which we were banned from cutting for ages. As it happens he is pro ‘fro so I suspect had ‘fro envy. Nonetheless it can’t be ok for senior pupils to call first years ‘little c*nts’. I have reported it and I understand the matter is being addressed.
The Menace, now in year 2, is coming along better. She is still behind her peers, but, she too, hates school. Both of my children are independent spirits wanting to forge their own paths. Education is a privilege and they must suck it up.
Now things feel more settled. We have new routines with less screen time to try and migrate them towards greater self management. One week in and things feel settled and more connected. Long may it continue.
I have started a new series of You Tube videos called – Conversations With My Kids please check them out. I am trying to have conversations with them about things they are interested in and I am not. It’s subtley funny. It’s the nuances of the collision of two very different perspectives that I like, but it may be too slow to be interesting to others.
BOOK NEWS
My next book, now called ‘Looking For Mr Rabbit’ is in edit.
“Looking for Mr Rabbit” based on this poem which I wrote before I met husband and believed in ‘soulmates’ and finding ‘the one’. This poem about men going out on the pull.
Looking for Mrs Rabbit
Beyond the day to day rigors of futile life,
Their souls are searching for the one who is right.
In the darkness of the blackest night,
They hunt and prowl, and seek things that are out of sight.
Around every corner, unsuspecting they lurk.
They are not cautious mostly drunk and bezerk.
With cocks like steel they prowl.
At unsuspecting bunnies they growl.
Poke and prod. No one is safe from their dynamite rod.
These bunnies are naive yet wet.
Do they know what they are about to get?
Erect and eager they need to shunt
Their rock hard penis in her moist warm c*nt.
Post coital. They want to leave.
Get up and go and let her grieve.
” I’m sorry sweetheart it was the grog.
I thought it was you but in fact you are a dog.”
The book is a compilation of my writing over the years combined has developed in an anthology of my life. It’s the before and after A Modern Military Mother – Tales from the Domestic Frontline (available from Amazon in paperback, Kindle and audio). This book is a version of life events that have passed and some of it is guesswork.
On the 9th September 2014 it was the 40th anniversary of my mother’s death on Facebook I wrote this on Facebook:
“An excerpt from my next book #comingsoon in memory of my mum, who died on this day 40 years ago. “I never knew my mother. I have no recollection of her face, her smile, her smell. She died on September 9th 1974 when I was two and three quarters year old. The circumstances of her death were tragic and the tragedy of her death has served to mould me into the misfit that exists today. According to my nana, dad came home from the hospital and told me that mummy had died and was never coming back. I looked up at him and solemnly replied; “don’t worry daddy I‘ll look after you.” #watchthisspace”
The book so far sits at 120,000 words and now needs an edit. After the edit, I need to get some test readers because the various styles grow and change – a lot of it is written at the time of events passing so the rhythm and tempo of the book evolves as I mature as a writer. I think this makes it interesting, but I am not famous and these life experiences that I am sharing are not significant specifically. I think, however, they are entertaining and will resonate with my generation of women because they are shared experiences. The book is simply entertaining – that is all. There is no greater purpose than to entertain the reader. It is not ‘literary’ and it won’t win any prizes but it will make you laugh and I am definitely, truly, sharing my soul with the reader. I am very excited about the book because when I have put the jigsaw together, I can look back t my crazy rollercoaster life and know that I have lived a little and laughed a lot.
The question is do we try and sell it to a traditional publishing house or do I self publish again? I have an agent, who I think is coming up for air again. I guess, he can look at it and then we’ll decide if we think we can sell it. I’ll keep you posted.
I have learned since I self-published my first book that I can’t do this alone. I need readers to champion the book. I need a fan base to help me move forward. I know I have some solid support and I urge those who will read my next book, if you love it, to help me promote it by recommending it to your friends.
