Thursday 18th January I wasn’t due to play till 6pm so it was one of those days of hanging around. When in doubt of what to do, there is always sleep! I didn’t get out of bed till 1pm! Nathan and I had to play Rob and Jenny in the 2nd round. It is so hard playing someone ...
Saturday 13th January Off to Malaysia today! All packed and ready to go! It feels like ages since I have been to the Far East and I didn’t play that many tournaments last year, so I was feeling excited about playing again. It’s always good fun to play in Malaysia as well, so ...

Tuesday 9th January Went to Loughborough in the morning for a 100%ME campaign. There was a National Youth Sport Trust conference going on for 15 and 16 year olds in sailing, rowing, canoeing, triathlon and cycling. My job was to do a little bit of a talk on drugs in sport an...
Saturday 6th January Went to Reading today. Did a bit of shopping with my sister in the morning and then in the evening, Ed, myself, Lisa and my step-cousin Gregg went out to dinner and a few drinks. We went to a Mexican restaurant and had lovely fish! Tried to be as health...
Tuesday 2nd January Ok, my body is rebelling for the drinking and being in a smoky place and trying to sing karaoke! My voice sounds like I should be operating a phone sex line and I am coughing like anything! Today was first day back training as well, so not the healthiest start...
Saturday 30th December Rob needed a lift back to Milton Keynes and I said I could take him. It was only then I realised that I had my sister too in the car, plus our bags for the trip, as well as all the Xmas pressies and other luggage I had which was all in a Mini. So we had to pack ...
Boxing Day I feel so fat still! Ow, I actually hurt still. Ed's family set off pretty early to go to the sales in Cambridge but I couldn't face any shopping! So Ed and I just slept and watched more Xmas tv til it was time to got to his Dad's house for lunch. The thoug...
Thursday 21st December I had to go to Holborn Studios today to have some photos taken for my new sponsor The Mall. I arrived at 10am and was into make-up straight away. The make-up artist made me look so glamorous! It felt a bit weird as I then had to put on my badminton ...
Saturday 16th December It was county weekend this weekend and Hertfordshire were going to be in trouble. From the 1st team. there was only me available to play. Ah. This is not good news! Natalie was on holiday, Suzanne had a family engagement, Liza was in France for a clu...
Wednesday 13th December Ok, woke up feeling like crap. Now a hangover I was expecting, but this was different. I think my body has had enough! Lack of sleep, too much alcohol and too much travelling around had to be the reason I was feeling like I was feeling! Natha...
Monday 11th December Felt bloody knackered! I had to leave pretty early from Birmingham to home as I was having my bathrooms done this week and the guys were starting today. Great - I got home and they were banging away and soon my head was too! Gareth and Stuart (very cute!) ha...
Thursday 7th December It was the Square Mile Sports Awards today in which I had been nominated for "Sportswoman of the Year". I was very pleased with this nomination and after the year I have had - Commonwealth Champion, European Champion and World Champion - I thought that I might be...
