    hi all.

    Catch up of last few days

    Monday 8am - virus warning onlappy at home - pressed wrong button, deleted system file (whoops), lappy dead.:eek:

    Monday 8.30 - car only just started :eek:- battery sludgy, but got to work

    4.30 - car battery utterly dead.:eek: Lovely colleague gave me a jump start and lent me his leads so I could take them up to the school where I teach at night in case it didn't start when I finished at 9pm (luckily it did).

    Battery charged overnight.

    Tuesday
    rewarded lovely colleague with a big bar of choccy :D
    Fab IT apprentice took my dead lappy off me and fixed it that afternoon :D (I'm going to stick a tenner in an envelope for him when he is back later in the week, it wasn't something I could have done and I'm a bit savvy on re-loading stuff)
    Went to teach Tuesday night, crawled in around 9.30

    Today
    Work all day, got a text first thing from ex to say he has supply work, so I whizzed to see Charlie for half an hour over lunch to play tennis with him in the garden :D

    Am at work still (but in my own time now so no problem with the internet police :rolleyes:) doing teaching prep for next few weeks before I start invigilating at 6.30 until 8.

    Fate threw me a big pile of poo with that lot but I hurled it straight back :D:rotfl:
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
