On Tuesday we secured our place in the World Cup Final by beating the West Indies by 146 runs. It will be the first time we have been in a World Cup Final since 1993 and is a massive achievement for all the girls.

For me this meant an unrelenting list of interview requests which is phenomenal and showed that all the hundreds of people I have contacted over the past four years have been taking notice and are cottoning on to how good these players are.

First up were rights holders Sky Sports followed by Sky Sports News and then Sky News. We also fitted in BBC, various national newspapers as well as the Loughborough Echo, the Leicestershire Mercury and other regional press. I'm always keen to continue to provide for the regional press as they cover us year in, year out, so it's great to reward them when things are going well.

By 9.30pm the interviews were just about finished and England had just woken up. Cue 52 more interview requests for the players. This was brilliant even if it did mean a 2am finish for me - a 20-hour day no less! We have managed to fulfil every single one of those requests so hopefully the players and the game are now getting the profile they deserve.

Over the past few days I have had so many messages of good luck to pass onto the squad which has been just brilliant. It's great to see that people back home are taking an interest and really getting behind us before Sunday. Lots of my friends (who know I'm here, but don't really follow the cricket) have heard the scores and are emailing, texting and Facebooking me to let me know and wish us well, which is awesome. Even my Dad, who's in Siberia, has been keeping up to date with how it's all going and has been sending pep talks via text! All greatly received!

On Wednesday night after training we had a team meeting and Clare Connor and I gave a brief media session to the players in preparation for what could be the biggest week of their lives.

This was made slightly amusing by the fact that Caroline Atkins and I had swapped clothes for the evening as people keep getting us mixed up! I think I've got the better end of the deal there - an opening international bat vs a media manager?! While I dressed Shaggy, as she's affectionately known, in a lovely joules skirt with a white vest top, cardi and white flip-flops, she dressed me in her baggy jeans, a salmon pink polo shirt (salmon is not my colour!) and my running trainers! Needless to say she got the best straw in the clothing stakes!

When the players all saw me there was a deathly silence as they were all too polite to say anything, until one of them started laughing and then they all did with huge sighs of relief that it wasn't real. This is no slight whatsoever on Shaggy's clothes as everyone kept telling me - they just look a lot better on her! Caroline, on the other hand, got a lot of compliments and even managed to get served at the bar first that evening!

The win over the West Indies and the fact that India had beaten Australia meant that our game against the hosts on Thursday had no relevance on our place in the final. However, we wanted to win. After winning the toss and batting we were all out for 161 and they knocked off the runs in 34 overs. This was so disappointing but, as Lottie keeps saying, we're in a World Cup Final so we have regrouped and are now looking ahead to the most important game on Sunday.

Despite the loss, the good luck messages still roll in and everyone is still very much behind us which means so much to everyone here.

Today was a rare day off and after my 1am finish this morning I managed a lie-in until 8am. After a quick visit to the gym I started my first round of interviews with Isa Guha and the BBC. That was swiftly followed by Katherine Brunt with various journalists and then I returned to my computer to reply to the emails that had come in overnight.

Whilst here I am still trying to keep up to speed with things back home like our PR and media plans for this year's Friends Provident Trophy, the ICC World Twenty20, and anything else that needs doing.

Anya and I then headed out to George Street to find some Ugg boots. Mine were for myself and my boyfriend's sister while Annie's were for her sister and her brother's girlfriend.

We eventually found a shop that sold original Uggs after traipsing round hundreds of shops, much to Annie's annoyance! We rewarded ourselves with pizza for lunch and then a quick stop back to the hotel to catch up on a few more emails and phone calls. This afternoon we headed down to the Aquarium at Darling Harbour following a recommendation after bumping into my colleague Gill Harris in Circular Quay earlier!

It was then a quick dinner before returning to the hotel to do an hour's worth of interviews with Lottie. Another late night with training tomorrow and then the pre-final press conference and photo shoot at the SCG with Lottie again.

She's going to be extremely busy over the next few days!

All of us understand ugg boots is great, warm and comfortable made it become

one of most famous women's boots in the world. So, let's introduce the raw material of UGG Boots?

UGG Boots uses only the highest-grade sheepskin available. Twin-face sheepskin is used in many of our core products. A piece of twin-face sheepskin has been treated on both the fleece side, and the skin side, providing the soft comfort uggs is famous for.
Grade-A sheepskin is extremely dense and soft, which provides for a more comfortable and durable material. Lesser quality material and synthetics can be coarse, scratchy, and non-breathable. Grade-A sheepskin breathes naturally, wicking away moisture, and allowing air to circulate freely. So you can wear the comfortable Uggs.
Fleece breathes, wicks moisture away, and allows air to circulate, keeping feet dry.

Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas froze on the set of period comedy EASY VIRTUE - because the wintery conditions in rural England left them cold for days on end. Director Stephan Elliott had to shoot the film in England's coldest months - because it was the only time he could get his cast together.

And the big freeze presented a host of problems for him, the crew and the actors. Firth tells WENN, "It was a miserable time of year. January in England, you have to be really lucky for it not to be unpleasant. We had some gorgeous winter sunshine on one or two days, but apart from that it's cold and muddy and depressing. I've now seen my fill of British stately homes with cold and drafty corridors."

And his movie wife Scott Thomas was so cold throughout filming, she refused to take off her Ugg boots. Elliott explains, "I had to cut everyone off at the feet because they were all wearing Uggs and other things to keep them warm. Kristin point blank refused to take her Ugg boots off. It must have been awful for (actress) Jessica (Biel), who is used to the California sun, but she was a trooper. I stayed at one of the stately homes we used in the film for a couple of nights and it was so bloody cold, it wasn't worth getting up to go to the toilet in the night because the loo was so far away and it was freezing. I swear that when we were filming in Nottingham the temperature dropped to minus 17."

Uggs made it to the United States back in 1978 when a man named Brian Smith decided to take a gamble and see if this unique, yet fantastic boot could make it in the United States. It was a chance because the Australian was worried that the Ugg Boot was too much of quirky Australian design to make a hit in the US. But the Ugg Boot took off in California especially. It was the Californian surfers who first fell in love with the Ugg Boot.

Every Ugg or footwear item is manufactured to meet the highest possible standards. Uggs quality is a result of a long history of dedication, workmanship and attention to details. Therefore, any upkeep for the attractiveness and life of Ugg boots-Australia boots is well worth it. Fortunately, retaining the new look of Ugg-Australian boots is not complicated or even difficult. With a little easy care, they will continue to offer the comfort, durability, and luxury for which Ugg footwear is known.
First, it's important to decide when and where to wear Ugg-Australian boots. Even though they are most often relied upon in winter months to insulate feet against the cold (they're assured for up to 30 degrees below zero), they are not meant to be snow shoes. Furthermore, although they are also worn by surfers to keep their feet warm between catching waves, they should not be used for wading through those waves. In fact,
Uggs should not be worn be in any other wet conditions, including mud, rain, ice or slush. To prevent unexpected weather from damaging Ugg footwear, it's wise to apply water repellent thoroughly as often as instructed. Doing so will seal the sheepskin from dirt and discoloration as well. The best product for this is Ugg Australia Sheepskin Water and Stain Repellent. Unfortunately, discolorations from, or caused by, another protective product may void Ugg Shoes-Australia's one year warranty.

OK people. I told you last year that UGGs were awful and ugly and not to be worn with shorts and/or skirts. But did you listen? NO. For some reason, people are still wearing Ugg boots and strutting around like they're wearing Christian Louboutins. May I remind you that you aren't and you probably bought your Uggs not because they are comfy and easy to wear, but because everyone and their sorority sister has them. Let's try to be a little unique people.
