You shouldn't be ashamed of being on benefits - you have your reasons for it, and you are trying to make the best of it

Zoey, Greenbee is dead right and I would imagine others have said exactly the same thing to you - and I have NEVER seen ANYONE have a go at someone on here - we all support each other, you can be on whatever you want, I know I have at various times in our lives... hugs hun x :A

There are quite a few teachers on here. I'm a primary school teacher myself. Chamichelle is a secondary science teacher but she is on maternity leave at the moment. Serena is a secondary languages teacher, Valli is a primary teacher, Froddington is a special needs teacher, there are quite a few TAs on here too, and my mind has gone blank but I'm sure that there is another teacher on here too. Apologies to anyone I've missed. I know nicki is training in school at the moment,but don't know if it's to be a TA or a teacher.

Wow! I didn’t realise there were so many teachers on here. I teach secondary maths. I’m almost caught up on the thread between marking. A bit more catching up than marking. :eek: I will organise my self for tom and get to bed.

Morning All happy flying.

I've be procrastinating for a bit, but now's the time to get back into the swing of things...

I've also got to give up my nice study where all my work and stuff is and give it back to DD as a bedroom now she's back... I am most upset (not that she's back, but that I no longer have a study...) Don't know where I'm gonna put the desk and cupboard that I got... mmmmmm me thinks another change around is about to happen and I've only just put the telephone point in there...:rolleyes2

This is a bit off topic, but is something that I have on my list, and I know how helpful everyone is so I thought I'd ask you all for your opinion...

I am on the committee of a local community club (it's a bit like a working mans club) that is like most things at the moment, going through hard times. We run small things for the members in our members lounge like discos, fun nights for the kids, etc., and we have a big hall (holds approx 200 people) that we rent out weekends for weddings/parties, ect and evenings for Karate classes/keep fit/ etc... and a smaller, upstairs hall that we rent out too (holds approx 60 people)

Trouble is we're not getting many hall bookings now and as people are cutting back, the club is literally just ticking over, but there are so many repairs to do and we just are just not able to raise the funds to do them (need new boiler, etc) and really need to raise a 'regular' income to help with all the stuff that we need to do.

Anyway, that's the general gist - what I wondered was if anyone could think of anything we could use our halls for during the day? We are looking at running a playschool, but the cost to set up will be big and we're not sure whether we'll be able to yet as we're waiting for the council to come round.

If anyone has any ideas (none will be laughed at, we are desperate) please PM me as anything you can think of will be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, you are all wonderful x :A

Back OT - going to clean my oven shelves tomorrow too

Hi ya Homespun. Yes as greenbee says, it is me the cleans my oven everyday because....... it's one of the things I loath doing and it got so bad at one point that I was seriously thinking of paying one of those professional oven cleaning companies to do it but............ then I found the old style board and started looking through the threads.

Don't know if it's of any help to you but -

To clean your oven shelves/racks. Fill your bath with really hot water and soda crystals. Just enough to cover the shelves and leave to soak for a good half hour at least. Longer is better. The muck should just slide off. You might need to use a scourer for any really bad bits.;)

Oven itself, I spent a whole day with Stardrops, cillit bang, soda crystals you name it I used it and a metal scourer or two. It really was that bad. Eventually after alot, and I mean alot, of elbow grease it came up like new.;)

To keep on top of it once it's clean - all I do now is each time it's been used and whilst it's still warm. I give it all a good squirt with a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution. Leave for 5 or 10 mins and then just wipe it out. It works a treat and I never ever have to 'clean it';)

Hope that helps.

Right I must go to work now. Be back mid morning ish to join in with some flying I hope. Will post my list later.

Oh and morning to everyone :hello:
