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 14th October Met up with my Mum and Stepdad with my sister in Reading and we went for a drink in a really nice pub and then Lisa and I got ready to hit the town! We were supposed to go into London, but Lisa was a bit skint so it was Reading instead! Slight difference I know...
Thursday 26th April It was a B&Q day today – and they sent me to Folkestone!! I had never been there before, and I swear B&Q are sending me further and further away!! It was a small warehouse store that had been built but everyone, like at all B&Q stores, was so proud of ...
Saturday 11th November County weekend! I play for Hertfordshire and we are in Premier A division. Woke up about 11am feeling not too bad but when I arrived at the Badminton Centre, I was beginning to get the shakes and feeling slightly ill! I love the county weekends purely as y...
Friday 21st September Quarter-finals day - and what day for England!! 3 out of the 4 quarter-finals were a success! I was a nervous wreck watching Clarky and Rob play the Indonesians just before my match. It was a really quick match even though it went to 3 games. Ever...

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 14th April I went out with Hazel and Marissa this evening. Hazel is married with 2 kids and I stayed round hers that night. I went to school with these 2 girls and I have never been out to their local place – we’ve always met up in Bedford, so tonight was my first outin...
Thursday 25th January It was re-match day today! Donna and Clarky had to play Fischer and Anderssen again and Nathan and I had to play Flandy and Vita again. Turns out, the same results from the Malaysian Open happened again at the Korean Open. Great for us, not so good fo...
Saturday 31st March It was Premier A county weekend! Herts had some work to do. We needed to pull it out of the bag and as I had been injured, I wasn’t feeling too optimistic! As my week hadn’t been the luckiest one either, I was thinking that I had some curse on me and eve...
