    Hello all, Still sort of keeping up, just doing things out of order. OH is decorating in the kitchen, so these very little I can do in there, bar making meals and washing up.

    Dusted half of the spare room, landing, bathroom and toilet and cleaned bath and sink.

    Hi all!

    Well things didn't go as smoothly as I planned with my resignation letters (I shouldn't really have been surprised about that though really, should I?) - went into head's office, gave her letters, and she told me that she thought that I couldn't be released until 31st May! :eek: She said that she thought that 30th April was the date head teachers could leave, but that normal teachers couldn't leave until May! I told her that I'd checked the dates with the union, and she said that I needed to check again and get it in writing! :mad: She called HR whilst I was there to check, and they backed her up! So, I went straight back to my classroom, called up the union, who confirmed I was right, and I went back to see her. By this time, she'd talked to the deputy, who thought I may be right. However, ATL's website (one of the unions) had an error on it, so we had to look at my union website (NUT) and deputy printed it all out and it turned out I was right. :T Head called up HR and had a go at them because they were incompetent, and she said that I'll have to wait until she meets with the governors on 4th March to confirm whether they will release me early (16th April - end of Easter hols) or whether I'll have to stay until 2 weeks into the summer term (the governors have to make the decisions - it's not up to her). However, I think they'll probably let me go early cos it'll be easier on the new teacher then too and cheaper for them as they won't have 2 people to pay. Will keep you updated.

    Hang on, sexy you are in a position to negotiate here. Have you got another job to go to? If not, and you want one, then your union rep can do some negotiating on your behalf. Can you be flexible on dates for an excellent, seen, reference? Is there anything school will be desperate for your help with that is voluntary? You may be in a really good position to negotiate early release/reference/access to training? Can't believe they are so clueless!!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    MONDAY DONE!
    Trout cooked, consumed and heads left out for the kitties! So, the house is vaguely in order, competitions are pretty much done, time to sit and veg in front of the telly and stroke the cats. Early night and big sleep tomorrow and fingers crossed for more energy tomorrow/

    Big hugs to everyone that needs them - it seems like some people are going through a really tough time out there.
