Broken Toe is very boring - but the sun is fab!

OK, so yet again I seem to be back to the sporadic updating - partly due to the fact that in school they have now blocked blogger so I cannot update as easily. However I spent some time in coffee shop and now, thanks to the wonder of free wireless, I can now update via email - so we'll see how this goes!
 
Plans for Australia are going very well. I have one train journey to pay for and one hostel to find and I'm pretty much done. I even managed to get hold of the underwater housing for my camera at a good price (yey, eBay!). Can't believe I'll be there in just over a month - wOOt!!! :)
 
This weekend is my last relaxing time before we are headlong into the last productions at the end of term - Y10 GCSE, Y9 performances evening (8 shows - 1 night!) Y7-9 production (Cold Comfort Farm, complete with pantomime cows) and the Junior production. Looking forward to all of it, especially as at the minute all seems to be on schedule. In fact so on schedule that yesterday afternoon I had nothing to do so I filed all of my invoices.....there is something very wrong....
 
ALthough a dampener on all of this is the fact that I have managed to break my toe (right foot, 4th toe) by bashing/catching it on on the railings getting out of the swimming pool. This has made walking around rather tricky, which in turn means my ankle is now killing me because of how I'm having to walk. I did this 3 weeks ago, I went to the walk-in place the next morning and (very rightly) she explained that even if it was broken all they'd do at A&E was strap it so she strapped it and sent my on my way. However, this Monday it was really no better so I went to A&E on the school nurses advice) to ask for an X-Ray as it's not just my toe that hurts it's the underside of my foot in that area as well (which is still swelling up and bruising). On the plus side I was seen quite quickly - on the downside she didn't really listen to what I was saying, prodded it (although she didn't look at the underneath bit) said "we don't x-Ray toes - and you should be wearing a shoe, not flip flops. It'll be another 4 weeks" got someone to strap it up again (I was now crying - quietly - and feeling nauseous due to the pain) and sent me on my way.
 
Fair enough to not X-Ray toes but I fairly sure I've damaged the bone in my foot someway - especially as it's nearly a week after that incident now and it STILL doesn't seem to have got any better. Also, and I said this at the time, if I could put a shoe on - don't you think I would?
 
I did actually try to put on a shoe this Wednesday morning - after 10mins I felt so sick I had to come home and put my flip flops back on....this is really starting to get annoying, and slightly worrying....:(
 
This has also meant that, despite my extra training on the dancing (!?), I wasn't able to audition to be a bride in BLOG's "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" which, well, basically, sucked. Still I went in and sang so I can be a townsfolk which should still be a laugh and mean I have a semblance of a social life next term :)
