    Hi Lady L - sorry to hear that you're poorly on top of your op. I always seem to miss your posts, so thought I'd write one now that you're online. Does DH go back to work tomorrow?

    Hi Sexy

    I'm feeling a bit brighter today, think the Anti-B's have kicked in at last. DH has another week off work, then the following week he will work from home the majority of the time, just going into the office for a few things, so I have been very lucky. I think he will be glad to go back for the rest :rotfl:

    Keeping everything crossed regarding your job, NQT etc. My DD is a teacher & I remember how stressful that time was for her..........you'll be fine. Any particular school in this area you are interested in? xx
