It was my birthday this week so I decided that it would be a fantastic idea to get everyone going to the Roller Disco in London.
For anyone who doesn't know what this is, it's basically a night club where everyone wears roller boots. So last night off we went to this amazing place with a circular ring in the centre to skate round.
As it was my birthday, I got sparkly skates with wheels that flashed different colours when you move, very cool!
So skates on it was time to stand up and show everyone what I could do, now you would think that as a girl who lived in roller boots as a child and hardly ever left without them on my feet that I would still be able to skate pretty well, wouldn't you??
Wrong! I was absolutely terrible!
What's worse, my husband and everyone else didn't seem to be afflicted with "Olive Oil Syndrome" like me. In fact everyone else seemed to skate away like they do it every day.
So after falling over a few times I decided that roller skating is a skill that I lost at the time I cut my hair short and stopped my mother putting me in flowery dresses!
And I have now put it in the box of other childhood loves that I am useless at as an adult.
Nevertheless, it was a very good night and I thoroughly enjoyed myself despite spending some of it sat on the floor looking up at the people who could actually skate.
I would definitely recommend it as a fun and interesting night out.
