    We're going on holiday to Egypt again in November (OH and I went 4 years ago and loved it). We're at a different hotel, as the one we went to last time, is about £800 for 2 weeks! We're going to Sharm El Sheikh Marriott.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I think there must be something about teachers needing to let off steam and act like children during the holidays - all that being serious during term-time! lol Which year-group do you teach Valli - I've just finished a 2-term maternity cover in a Year 5/6 class, complete with obviously the Sats, but had an Ofsted the Monday after!

    You have made the first step and sometimes that can be really hard. Its a really positive move. Sounds as if things with OH are moving forward as well. Big positive vibes and hugs coming your way.

    15million things are now washed, dried and put away. I am not exsagerating ?sp? Now my brain has gone numb.

    I think I will go to the pub and maybe have a small glass of wine as I have no one to cook for tonight.

    All the little horrors are out at work in various pubs bars etc. Yes, one of them will be in the pub I go to!
