Nerves, Newquay and Scotland
Good afternoon blogsters - apologies for the tardiness of this blog - Mondays I am a bit busy at ´óÏó´«Ã½ London and now have a few minutes spare to devote to the task.
Am shattered today after a very eventful last few days - I have to say our trip to Cornwall was so good - had a great time in Truro finding a fabulous pub on an estuary - then playing buzz and hiding from Matt - very childish but hilarious fun! We all want Rach have her wedding reception at the pub as its just wonderful!
Then a real whirlwind day the morning in Truro - a massive thank you to all the food that was sent in! Overwhelming!! Muffins, Pasties, Flapjacks!
Then it was a quick dash across the hills to Newquay a swfit lunch at Watergate Bay - yummy fish and chips for me with the best mushy peas! I am a bit of a connoisseur on mushy peas now!
Still I have to say they didn't sit that well in my tummy as it was doing flip flops ahead of performing Camilla Ice. Had a proper exam moment mind going blank about ten minutes before we were due to go on stage - I must have looked properly bonkers back stage walking round in a ball gown tiara and gloves with loads of fake bling reciting dizzee rascal to myself. Anyway apprently the twins who carried me in were more nervous - although you couldn't tell and thankfully I remembered all the words and gave it all i had - even tho I was almost passing out without breath for a while - had to almost breathe through my ears!
After that at least I could relax a bit and then just bounce around on stage to the sound clash - don't tell Chris but I preferred Daves set!
Then as a treat we went out for dinner at Fifteen - we all agree the best food ever! A really talented bunch - Mr Carrie would have been gutted as we had his favourite champagne too. Sadly I couldn't have too much fun as was up at the crack of dawn on Saturday to go up to Scotland and film Annan Athletic for Football Focus -it was there first home game since being voted into the Scottish Premier league - its going out next saturday - a jackknifed truck, rain and broken camera tested us but thankfully it was all good in the end. Still got home at midnight and I have to admit the flight from Newquay to Newcaslte and Glasgow to Gatwick were pretty hairy at times - the rain clouds meant bumps and i don't like that!
Captain Underpants was up at the crack of dawn to do the London Triathlon - feeling a v bad wife as failed to get out of bed to go and watch! He did olympic length in 2 hours 33 - not bad on no sleep and carrying a knee injury!
Anyway am properly shattered today still and very much lookign forward to my bed!
Hope you all enjoyed the show at Newquay
Carrie x

Loved that you totally just threw yourself into it and enjoyed it, that's the main thing. You did yourself proud!!!
I still maintain that I prefer your version to Dizzee Rascal's...
Well done girlie!!! Bravo bravo!
(I like to use exclamation marks too!)

Carrie, I have to say... you were fantastic! You were obviously out of breath by the end of it, but its really hard to sing live never mind sing live and dance at the same time! And how on Earth did you remember all those words?
Also, have to say, Captain Underpants is a lucky man. If only Jaguar Skills was right about the team you support...
