I have been feeling really tired lately and have not really had much energy, but people tell me that fades in the next few weeks of pregnancy, so I should be able to get more into tutoring - I have mostly stopped doing 2 appointments per evening, and have just been doing one, but I vow to make an extra special effort to fit all the clients in from next week onwards.

If it's any consolation pregnant racehorses often have an increase in form & win races so am sure you'll get your energy back soon enough!

I am now 12 weeks, but with no sign of an invite for a scan I have called and they said I am 'in the system' !

Went back to the to do list I completed a week ago, and I actually got a lot of it done! I have an LEA inspection on Monday and Tuesday, so tomorrow I will spend 4 hours finishing off my lesson plans, and then relax.

I have 2 tutorings booked on Monday , and I want to relax as much as possible afterwards.

Tonight I'm exhauseted, but I've got a nephew and friend to collect from the station between 9 - 10 I hope I can stay awake!

Hi all,

This is going to be my ramblings mixed with various to do lists - sorry!

The LEA inspection went really well and I was given the top grade, so this will hopefully have a good impact on my application to get higher pay. I need to fill out those forms when I get a minute!

My hormones seem to be more in check and I seem to have a more sensible approach to grocery shopping now! I still like organic and fresh veg and meat, but I'm more willing to do a bit more with them to stretch them further!

I have bought 2 maternity bands from asda for £8, and I am hoping that this mixed with a few charity shop finds will see me through until August? Is this too optomistic?

I'm due to go and overpay for Jan tomorrow morning, which will be £2,000!!!

This week I am a bit more pleased with myself as I have worked at breakfast club, done 5 lunch duties outside and have completed 5 tutorings so far, and have another 2 tomorrow - and I worked fairly hard all week!

So my weekend plans:

1. Clean the house
2. Overpay
3. Buy meat from butchers
4. Tutoring 1 at 11am
5. Finish cleaning
6. Tutoring 2 at 3pm

Then I'll have a break, before heading out to a burns supper with friends.

On Sunday I want to do some small business work, relax and read, go for a walk and generally recooperate before a mad week at work! I have reports to write, hundreds of books to mark, and an overlap of 1st and 2nd placement student teachers to keep busy and observe and finish reports on - and did I mention teaching? Still I LIKE to be busy!

On monday I have my 13 week 6 day scan I'm soooo excited!

On Monday I also need to
-finish planning for the week (done in my head but not written down!)
- print off year 11 speaking sheets.
-Brief the incoming student and set up an observation timetable for Mon - wed

Right now my head is clear and I'm feeling quite pleased with my progress I'll go and finish cooking (prawn curry!) and then relax!

Have a lovely wekend all x

Glad you're feeling better and hope you can start enjoying the pregnancy now x
