Froddy try to get some rest over the next couple of weeks. If you're doing all of the planning, what do the other teachers do?

I'm not doing it all - we share most of it but we all do English, Maths and PSHE for our own classes. I've done the R.E. and History for everyone so that's a start.

Hiya
Sorry i've not been keeping up. Still trying to sort out this house after doing DS's bedroom and now starting on DD's. It will be worth it.

I spent this afternoon putting anything that didn't fit from my wardrobe into a suitcase. My wardrobe is now empty as the 3 pairs of trousers, 5 tops and 3 work tops are in the ironing pile. I guess I really need to buy some new clothes at some point - I don't think i've EVER had this little to wear. Oh well!

Hope you're all well, big hugs to anyone who needs them with extra hugs going to tootles and LL - I hope you're both ok xxx

Actually, despite the lack of activity I haven't done too badly, and the house doesn't look too bad. Some serious dusting/window cleaning/paintwork wiping is probably needed in the next couple of weeks, but in general, apart from the odd hotspot, it's not too bad.

Maybe I should have a bath and give it a scrub when I'm done.

Broccoli & chicken casserole eaten for supper. DW is on and the last of the washing is in the TD

NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH :p:p But I do know I can carry on reading now!

I am about half way through the GP so will finish it tonight, I do remember though that someone just posted 'Well Done Jenson' (or words to that effect!) last time, I was gutted :mad: oh well it's no biggie in the grand scheme of things.
