Just when I thought things were finally over re NQT year, evil deputy said to me that she needed to talk to me about my NQT stuff today - she said she couldn't do it this afternoon as she was going on a course, but could do it tomorrow - I asked her when, and she said she didn't know - I've no idea what it's about, and am now sat here worrying again.
I'm meant to be going out to the supply teacher's xmas do tomorrow and it's quite a way to travel, and I've got to be there for 5.30pm, so she'd better not insist on it being after school! At least tomorrow is a fairly easy day in terms of lessons.

That is inexcusable - my boss used to do it, until one day I bust into tears over it. I had to explain that it wasn't my tiny misedmeanour, but the worrying I'd been doing all day :mad::mad::mad: Hugs for you :A

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun0 -
Soappie - thanks for the advice, should I put it on low for hours as I think (maybe/probably wrong) that it could be tough otherwise? So if I do that I would still be ok to add the veg at that time or pop them in later so they arn't burnt to a crisp/dried up? Deary me you can tell I haven't cooked this before at my grand age!! I am thinking as its 0.888 in KG (whatever that means!) on low for such as 150 electric mark for around 3/4 hours. Or shall I bung it in the freezer and forget about it?!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existance - Sydney Smith0

All done Toots another star when you get a moment please:D
Pigpen - you will be pleased to know that we now have a Christmas Tree - but we can't decorate it yet as it's raining here and it is in the stand drying off. Don't want to put lights on a wet tree:eek:0 -
Carlsb - stick it in a dish, cover it with foil and pop it the oven on gas mark 4, 180C for a couple of hours. Cook the veg seperately otherwise they'll get covered in lamb grease. If you want and you have it, stick a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary on top at the start of cooking.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Present organising tonight, hope all is well.
eta double posted, what a numpty, sorry.
sexymouse say "I'd love to meet you at x o'clock, but unfortunately I already have a commitment to be somewhere else." Imagine if you had kids to pick up at nursery, you couldn't do it then. Don't worry, she's probably jealous of you and trying to make you feel bad, so she feels better.Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0
