OMG my 5 year old has just asked to me to buy her a WII and a Ipod. When I told her I can not afford a WII she said well what about just an Ipod then. I wish they too are expensive arghhhhhh.

My DS (6) wanted an ipod as his brother has one (brought with his own cash) we got him an mp3 player for about £15 and he was delighted - you can probably get them even cheaper than that now.

Guinness is good for iron, and I'm guessing, but probably B vitamins. Hmm, I could look that up, or I could mark books and homework about photosynthesis.

I'm still recovering from last night, tummys still 'delicate', feel sooooooooo bloated, might have a juice though...

I'm on the Cava - a bit of fizz makes me feel special.

How many teachers are there on here? Sexymouse, (I think it was you) you mentioned science module exams, are you a science teacher, too?

I think that was me. I'm not a teacher but I do invigilate GCSEs and A Levels

Michelle is a secondary science teacher but she is on mat leave at the moment
