    Greenbee - Cakes look scrummy, did you see Kirstie Allsopp in the Channel 4 series 'Kirstie's Homemade Home', making her cakes?

    No TV... is it worth tracking down on the website?

    Morning all. I am in again this week back to level 3 for kitchen and level 1 or 2 all round. Thanks pigpen for the list and soappie for the stars.

    I got a bit lost on last week’s thread but I have been flying. So far I have 2 nights a week for a month eating from the freezer so I can walk home and get HHE. I have shuffled around junk so that it looks neater. I have marked all yr 8s 1 set x3 and completed reports. Yr 10 2 sets x2 and yr 7 1 set x2 still to do mark yr 10 2 sets x1 and yr 7 1 set x1 and do yr 10 reports due 4th and yr 7 reports due the week after. Then its yr 9 (now we have to mark it) SATS 1 set x3 papers to mark.

    Good luck to all who have LOs writing GCSE’s. Hopefully as they finish p2 maths this week I can have some gained time. If I am not taken for cover I can actually do more of my job during the contracted time. Then I can aim for an earlier bed time.

    Rach congrats Aunty

    Thifty Happy Anniv.

    Toots and Pigpen Hope you are feeling well.

    Right off to bed. Long day today. We will be eating from the freezer.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.
