  • yawn yawn Morning everyone yawn.............

    well I might have needed the sleep last night but have been awake since 4.33:eek: will no doubt be a zombie later:rolleyes:
    Since I didnt get out shopping last night have done an online order for delivery tomorrow afternoon
    Its been very wet here but not too windy - i hope you have all survived the storms wherever you are.

    holly well done with the decorating - you have done well - the decorating bug certainly seems to biting a few of us - I am envious that you can do it yourself - in my past life i would have too!
    greenbee - yes I clean the site 2/3 times a day depending on how bad its leaking - I am hoping the AB's will kick in today and it will be less painful
    mummyyof5 massive (((hugs))) honey - you must be worn out and very concerned - can you get some advice from DN/Doc/skin clinic? if its getting worse then it needs to be addressed IMHO. Mumoffour77 has been through it all with her DD so might be worth a pm for her thoughts and any tips?
    It sounds as if you could do with the break but unless you have someone who could manage then you will only get stressed - what about your Mum or DD1?
    rach hope you are not too sore today after your tumble (((hugs)))
    Diva hope your trip goes ok (((hugs)))

    hope you all have a brilliant weekend

    Lil_me yoo-hoo :hello: buying the house has been in the pipeline for well over a year, we got it valued but went no further when we found out about the works planned for it.
    Greenbee unfortunately it doesn't work like that, if I give the council any incling that I'm planning on buying it they'll not do the works at all, yes they are that petty, plus once it's in the system I automatically get taken off any works schedules, anyway I have an update, my neighbour up the road is getting hers done at the moment, SO, they WILL be coming to do mine on the 25, I'll be like a Dog with a bone until they do.

    Having a whing it day today, nothing major planned except me and DD1 are going out for breakfast then I'm dropping her off at work but after that there's nothing in the pipeline, will probs do a spot of washing and some pottering about, littley is obviously the one mucking the house up as it's all still spotless :rotfl: she's having a good time BTW but very indignant about the prices 69 euros for a Mickey Mouse :eek: she put it back apparently :rotfl: I taught her well :money:

    Morning everyone!

    I slept really badly again last night - suppose my body clock has got into the routine of waking up throughout the night now, but I'm still like this:happy-026.gif

    In terms of my NQT year, it means that (unless they're being really mean) that was my last observation for my NQT year, so it's just a case of filling my folder full of evidence of meeting all of the teaching standards. Mentor took it home the other day and put postits all over it to show what I need to do with it, but will be marking writing assessments this weekend so won't have time this weekend. Think my final review will be in December, and then they have to check my evidence and write a report as to whether I've passed or not. Mentor said well done on my way out too, and this time, I know that the lesson plan was done mainly on my own merits (with a little help from one of my colleagues about ideas), which makes me feel even better about it. Just hope that the colleagues in my year-group do as well with theirs, as so far, everyone who's been observed has done well.

    Msgnomey thank you so much for looking at my lesson plan - I went with the drama in the end, because my Head likes to see people taking risks, and the children were great, so it paid off. They loved my picture stimulus too, and asked me where I got it! I'd love to come and work in your part of the world - nearly went to uni there, but unfortunately OH would find it hard to find work - tis very tempting though, particularly as I'd be able to work with such lovely people :) .

    Well I'd better get a wriggle on as I've got to have a shower and get dressed, as booked a hairdressing appointment for 9am to cheer myself up or celebrate depending on how the lesson obs went. M&D are thrilled, and I rang my Nan last night, and she nearly cried when I told her about Mark in my class. LadyL D***y in my class is in the pupil referral unit until possibly after christmas.

    Possibly off to Weald & Downland Museum's Christmas craft fair today with M&D, but depends on the weather. Will need to dig out the wellies I think.

    Well done to Zoe for getting through it all yesterday.

    Thank you all again for all of your support. Fingers crossed, it'll be heading in the right direction from now on.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
