    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, going to have a 4th (or is it 5th?) attempt and loosing about 200 words from this assignment :mad::mad::mad:

    You should beable to get away with 10% either way.. I often use mine too!! You can get rid of everything that is not asked for in the brief.. you only need to cover the points asked for.. everything else is waffle!

    ,The agency are aware that I had a tough time there and are behind me 100% so will call them today with my final decision. I just hope I can find another job to do my NQT year in. A part-time job in a very local (10 mins drive) and very good school has come up in a year 3 class, so I'll apply to that when half-term is over. It's for a year, so will get my last term done but over 2 terms as I'll be part-time if I get the job, and it'll suit me fine being part-time.sexymouse xx
    Awh hugs sexy thats a shame it didnt work out but hey sounds like you have your head screwed on and are tackling it the best way. I dont think it was a tough time I think it was absolutely appauling and no teacher should have to put up with that. - fingers crossed for the local job.
    Good morning all!!
    Sorry about not being on in a while.....my course is really hard and the assignments are pouring in
    DS1 went to France with his school last week and had a ball....but low and behold he is back at home now and back to being a stroppy teenager, I spent the guts of £1000 sending him on that trip, ....DD is still waiting on her appointment to see a consultant in the hospital about her eczema!!...DS2 is panicing about his 11+ exam in a fortnight!!....And DS3 is attending the school of dentistry in the royal victoria hospital as he is a dental anomoly (if thats spelt right!) some of his teeth have no roots and they are trying to figure out how his teeth are staying in....they are only his baby teeth and they reckon its a developmental issue!!! so we are attending there every fortnight!!!
    Oh the house is a tip....im looking for inspiration!!! HELP!!!
    Nice to see you again MOF77 - and if its inspiration and support you need you have come to the wrong place!!!!!! because we are all as bad!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: no seriously I dont know how you mums cope never mind do jobs and/or courses as well - I certainly take my hat of to you. ask pigpen to throw her fluffy mule at DS1 - he sounds like all the other teenagers on here at present - a real PITA!!! just you keep reminding hime what you paid and make sure he appreciates what you went thro to send him! You have your hands full with the others too - a dental anomoly alright but what a pain having to go every fortnight. You will get there - as you have proved already you are made of strong stuff - just take it steady and concentrate on the family and that includes yourself - as for the house - get them all roped in with their own mini challenges - they are old enough to be helping and taking the pressure off you. (IMHO) xx
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I got sucked into playing Fable II again so just 15 mins turned into two hours :rolleyes:

    So I have an hour or so before the screaming hordes descend into the house and cause complete chaos again ;) And I still haven't managed to do my lounge and kitchen rescue :rotfl: Maybe it needed more rescuing than I thought!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
