    Glad everything is going ok.Of course you are out of sync with your routine.That's only to be expected but you are doing remarkably well.I'm sure you'll be fine with all the year 11s....nice to know that you had a lovely day out with your friend and all the children and sometimes it's worth the money we spend.Have a good day tomorrow and catch you soon x

    Sea - just been reading back on your thread - i haven't been on for ages! But many things abut your situation are similar to mine - I am stuggling with work - sounds very like your situation - the kids ae fab but hard work and stuggling to adapt to not having dad around - Being so tired - feel like i could sleep for a week - but can't if you know what I mean!!! I laughed when I read your post about bowling! My friend txt me out the blue yesteday - asked me if I wanted t meet her at to a new play area - cost a fortune - but hey sometimes catching up and being with friends is priceless!

    I phoned in sick tonight! (very bad and unheard of for me!)
    Have been up since 5 am with all sort of S*** in my head! Fell asleep with kids at 7 but woke up at 10 - will probably not sleep tonight!

    Anyway - enough self pitty! Just wanted to drop i to say hello and say i think you are doing great! Really don't envy you going to Rome with loads of teenagers!!!! you are very barve or dedicated - but i do appreciate your dedication - I have 2 teenagers 2 so know what they are like! and thank God for teachers that can do what you are doing!!!!

    Take care

    i'd love to go to Rome, but you wouldn't catch me there with 31 teenagers, you deserve a meal, maybe even a couple of gold medals. Well done for the big change on the B/card bill that's a fab achievement with all the changes you've been going through.

    rome is beautiful so may be a worthy payoff for the teenagers but only a squeek past the post!!
