    Make it years 5 and 6 and I am IN, I really need a new job!!:D :D:D:D

    It might go to a higher year depending on what applicants come in.. I know they like a reshuffle every so often. think the highest it'll be is yr 3 though

    If any of you teachery types fancy a job/location change there is one going at our primary school for year one after easter.. yours truly on said interview panel! ;)

    Just off to do tomorrows list .. gimme 10 minutes to think of some really heinous tasks!!

    Where abouts are you ? lol I have always enjoyed teaching Yr 1 and a single year group sounds really good. Trouble is still haven't been able to sort out current job yet :(

    Hex- hope things improve
    ZCC72- thats really good news - good luck for the interview
    JillD- communication is important- men are not mind readers and can be quite happily oblivious to things, hope things improve and am sure you will pick the best time to talk to him about it. Wishing you all the best.

    Thank you all again for the kind words and support and apologies to those I have missed
    Divorce all finished- now to start saving for a better future!

    A brief recap: today was pretty good, and JillD - loads and loads of (((((hugs))))) - be kind to yourself, you've a hell of a lot on your plate right now xxxx

    Big hugs to Jill, and Soappie, and Mr and Mrs Phil

    I've done nothing today flyingwise apart from reading my lists several times!I've been crying all day and now have a face that feels like sandpaper! Big hugs to all those with the black dog. March -the end of the winter, we've got to the end of our tethers with all the dark days -the spring and summer are just around the corner. My aims for tomorrow are to have lots of lightbox/get out in the sun if it shines/get dressed/walk to the postbox and back.
