Toots and everyone else for the hugs. You've made me smile again, particularly with all of those smilies you did toots. NQT stands for Newly Qualified Teacher by the way. It's the first year after you finish your training where you are effectively on probation and have to have observations etc and get told at the end of each term if you've passed each part.

I am glad they made you smile sexy - couldnt have you going to bed sad! and thank you for the explanation - I am learning! I wouldnt like the observation bit though - that would make me very nervous xx

ok does anyone have any bright suggestions how to get into my gas cupboard to read my meter outside - I have mislaid the key thing - I know you can go and buy them but thats not OS and its 2 buses and a walk for me which i was trying to avoid - I have received an estimated bill and I need to check it!

Borrow one... and read your meter more frequently!!! At least once a month is sensible (your supplier won't mind you submitting regular readings, it helps them predict consumption better)

Don't forget everyone, if you're a BG customer, tomorrow is meter reading day to make sure that the next bill doesn't estimate too much on the old tariff

Well done Holly... you look like you're winning.

I've just worked out how much weight I need to lose as I accidentally saw the details on my trainer's paperwork on Monday. It works out at 10.5lbs per month if I'm going to lose it all before my brother's wedding!

I really do need to get the house sorted so I can focus on eating properly, getting to my classes and training for this walk!!!

Right... on that note... of to make hot water bottles and attempt to be in bed by midnight (ish).

The study is starting to look tidy

G&B I ain't posted 'em yet cos I haven't finished knitting BUT I mis read the pattern ... I did the right front and it measured way longer then it should have ...well I should have started shaping at 6 inches not 8! (inches suit the repeat better) and I could NOT EVEN READ IT WITH MY GLASSES ON - I had to get DD to look - is this an 8 or a 6 :rotfl: 'tis an old, but lovely pattern with 4 cardis...I am knitting the fanciest cos I can :rotfl:
