    Yep definitely Tigz ;) Which days do you work now? Are you free in half-term at all??

    I'm off out in a bit, staff from school are going to a local bar but no other ta's want to go :o:o But I decided I'll never meet Mr Right stuck indoors, so I've dragged best mate along and we'll go along, if its too cliquey with everyone else being teachers we'll move on somewhere else, but nothing ventured nothing gained ;):D I still have 4 points left today so will have some choccy when I get home, I'll stick to diet coke while we're out as I'm driving anyway :D

    Good for you on venturing out - there's more to life than money and work! Hope you have a lovely night with your mate even if Mr Right doesn't appear.

    Was an okay night, one cute teacher went along, but also bumped into a guy that best mate has been trying to set me up with for ages, anyhow, he seemed a lovely guy but not my type, still a bit better than the last one she tried to set me up with who turned out to be gay :rolleyes: :D

    Spent £11 in total :eek: and I only drank diet coke :o
    Remember I said about the roadworks around here, well tonight is the night they are resurfacing the section outside my flat, currently they are pneumatic drilling one side and have a huge tractor / roller thing on the other stuff. The noise is ridiculous and we have another hour of it till they go home ... its so stupid, if I started drilling til 1am the police would be round but when its the council they can do what the hell they like :mad: :mad:

    I think it is disgusting that they are doing drilling at 1am :eek:

    I hope you get chance to sleep in late this morning to make up for it! Have a good one x

    I feel like a stunned slug this morning :o:o I'm off shopping with a friend in half an hour or so but will need lots of coffee first. The workmen will be back on monday night to carry on so we may stay at mums as theres no way ds or I will get to sleep and I dont want him getting into trouble at school because he's tired :o

    Finally back from a mammoth shopping trip, I was very good and didn't spend much, I bought ds some new shinpads and a bag to put his footie stuff in (£7), lunch in M&S (£3), makeup in Boots (£16) which was afoundation, concealer and a nail varnish for my toes, makeup was on 3for2 and I had got every last dreg out of my concealer/foundation so desperately needed to buy them, and a pretty turquoise necklace (£4 reduced from £14). I could happily have spent several hundred pounds on some new jeans, new boots, a couple of shirts and jumpers for the winter, but I resisted :T :T :D:D

    I had a mystery shop to do tonight but when I checked its actually for next weekend :o which is quite good really as I want to put my pj's on and have a lazy evening :D
