    Ahhh, that's how everyone does it!!!!!! :T:T:T When I've got about 5 pages to read, I scribble notes on a piece of paper, but by the time I get to type it all up, none of it makes any sense anymore, so I lazily type "and hugs to everyone" and any specifics I remember!

    Now I can be a bit more thoughtful about it!

    Thank you so much - that's now officially the most useful post of my day!!!:)

    Glad to know i'm good for something :D

    One pre warning though, strikethrough doesn't work unless you use the strikethrough button on MSE - I learned the hard way and copied the whole weeks tasks through and had to re do the whole lot :rotfl:

    rosepink - know that area well, my family live round there!

    I doubt if I'll get anything except minimum flying done this week - the last week before the halfterm (or end of term in my school, which calls it a six term year) is assessment and Progress Tracker week, and I am up to my eyes in paperwork (well, mostly pc work) which I have to get done before the end of Thursday.

    I'm popping in each day to keep up with the news, but not likely to get any stars!

    pigpen - fab news re ex overdraft!

    - you need halfterm!

    Piggers well done on the overdraft de-cluttering - now onwarda and upwards!

    I have bought my class a present - the WHOLE class!

    I have bought a new spotty dustpan and brush for my classroom, because, of course, the last one I bought has been borrowed - again! :grr:

    I shall leave my jobshare a note asking her NOT to lend it out because they never come back! I buy them EVERY YEAR and they end up in other classrooms - it's flippin' annoying!
