I dont like getting spanked!!

Firstly, about the title of this blog. No, it is not a sexual thing (in that case I like to do the spanking). It is about netball, where tonight we got beaten like a red haired step child. I can take this, as I have played in many a loosing team. However tonight was such a thumping that I am scared that phyches may have been damaged. I might have to bring in a sports psychologist to deal with the repercussions - however not the one who worked with Ian Thorpe cos I dont want anyone to retire!!

Secondly, every year I state to anyone who will listen that my birthday should last for a week. So finally this year Charlie has cracked, and has been doing the 7 days of Ali. Starting on Friday, I have been getting a present and "outing" each day, leading up to my birthday on Thursday. I am hoping this is to become tradidion, and if my powers of persuasion are working better than my netball skills it will! This will be great in years to come as December will be a ripper of a month. The 7 days of Ali (or Alifest 2006 as I like to call it) starts on the 1st of Dec, then you have Christmas and New Years. Gotta love that!!!!
