    I'm glad it's the bathroom today as that's what I guessed at earlier! Will update my list now ............

    pink_numbers - welcome

    greenbee - welcome back

    Jill - that's great news

    valli - Henry the Janitor is Hong Kong Phooey (ETA - penpen got there before me!!)

    pigpen - glad all went well for DS

    ajmoney - hugs

    sexymouse - so glad your GP was understanding and do take the time off if you need to as it will help and give you time to contact all the people you need to talk to (Union; LA; etc.) I'll be thinking of you tomorrow - you are being very strong going in for it - hugs xx

    Can I go to bed yet ?? :confused::o

    I think we'll permit you to take to your bed at 9pm but not a moment before :p

    ajmoney - hugs love - I'm sure you did the right thing though

    well done on your first star Pink_numbers!

    Poohbear - hugs for today and tomorrow!

    Mum on a Mission - that's nice to read about the fun hour with DS. Treasure it!

    sexym - glad you have an understanding GP and well done you for not accepting the sick certificate. You CAN do this girl and show them what you're capable of. And I think we need a post from you every day, like LL, just to know how you're coping. Sending you humungous coping and good luck vibes for tomorrow xx

    I have been trying to do this response for an hour but things keep getting in the way! Still, I'm responding now.

    Flying wise? I've put some things in the DW and prepped a chicken and bacon in tomato sauce from scratch concoction for my dinner - it's in the oven at the moment.

    I have also dumbed down my CV. My current contract (totally different from anything I've done before, really) finishes tomorrow. BUT there is the opportunity of another contract in a slightly different field (which I'm perfectly capable of doing) for the same academic outfit that cropped up today. I was first rejected for it because my CV "would scare them". So I've dumbed it down big time.

    I could do with serious "get that post" vibes ladies and gents if any of you have a moment to spare. It would give me a small amount of cash (any cash is better than none!) and see me over the festive period.... and allow me to finish my book...

    Evening all

    It is pouring here so expecting DH to ring any minute for a lift, he usually cycles home but not in that!

    Quillion
    - how are you getting on with your uninvited visitors? I'm hoping we're on the home run with ours as it is getting mighty tedious now.

    I just need to finish washing up and then I think I'll sit and sort out the overflowing receipt drawer.

    DS1 has an exam tomorrow and I'm invigilating too, hoping to pop out in the morning to get new school sweatshirts for DS2 who has finally grown (he's had these since he started and is in year 9 now).

    Rose - I'd not wash towels with suit troussers, wont' you get bits on them? Hope DH is feeling better now

    Soappie - contract vibes coming your way

    Sexy - I'm glad your GP is on your side and it just shows what a fab teacher you are that you want to go on the trip with your class. I'll be there virtually supporting your tomorrow and glaring at the evil assessors x

    Thank you again everyone!

    GET THAT POST VIBES to soappie for tomorrow.

    Also good luck to louboutine (not sure if I've spelt that right?) for your hearing tomorrow too.

    Just sent an email message to the teacher support network too to ask advice about resignation etc.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
