    Buffy, just got to say DON'T DO IT!!

    I know you want to slap him silly, but you should just let the toad wallow for a while before doing that. Get your strength back and your spirits up first :)

    Congrats on the result, do you think he has any chance of passing his 'MOT'?

    We knew you'd do it, but glad it's all over just the same.
    Take some time for yourself to get your bearings again - this has probably been a bit of an eye opener for you and you'll probably be a bit more guarded as well in the workplace i'm guessing.

    You've got a big fanbase here.
    Just shout out when you need some advice, support or just to vent.

    Really pleased for you.
    (Now put that choccy biccy down and get back on the tradmill)!!

    I can't believe I did it Lou, I honestly totally can't. I thought it would never end - and I don't doubt that it could start up again if I am not seriously careful at work, but now I feel better equipped to deal with it.

    thanks to everyone's kind words and wonderful support, you are all fabulous xxxx

    I thought about handing my notice but I don't know anyone who is happy at their school, and this kind of thing is happening every where. I think I will go back to plan A pay off debts and then go travelling.
