    I found out today that there is going to be a replacement for KS3 - which is a huge relief. It will mean I don't have to worry so much about what is going on in the classroom next to me, so that's a good thing.

    Another NSD for me today - just been to school and then home! And today went okay, so I'm feeling alright this evening :)

    My life is so uninteresting.

    Another day - I survived my first cover lesson today, not that I enjoyed it!

    Another NSD too, which is good.

    I think me and OH have decided to try and save enough so that we can go to the Maldives for our honeymoon - it's going to be a big motivator I hope! :D

    So, another NSD for me today, which is good good good :)

    I feel the need to spend so badly, it's really annoying me! I'm meeting up with a friend on saturday so I will be shopping then, but it doesn't feel soon enough! I get like that sometimes, when it seems like we don't have any money to spend...! :o

    Thanks Keiss, for stopping by! :) and happy new year to you too :j :j


    I'm just worried about having someone to talk to about things, I just end up feeling silly :o

    Hi sf:hello:
    Been mean to stop by for ages and say hello... sorry:o

    If you're feeling stressed at work, have you thought about going to your GP and asking for a referral to a counsellor specialising in work-related stress? They are an absolute godsend - I saw one for just over 3 years when I was going through a really bad time at work. They're totally independent and it's amazing what they coax out of you that you didn't even know existed. I thought I would feel really silly talking about things but mine was lovely, it was just like sitting down with a really good friend with a cup of tea. If you keep bottling up stress it won't do you any good in the long term and it will affect your sleep pattern.

    Sorry, that wasn't meant to be a lecture:o, it's just a subject very close to my heart.....

    Great news about Centre Parc$, it will do you a world of good to get away and the Maldives sounds lovely for your honeymoon.

    Take care, will pop back again to say hello.

    taxi - I'm hoping it'll be relaxing! :)
    spoon- :hello: nice to see you! I'm not that stressed really, I don't think. I'm just tired and busy all the time! I will keep that in mind though, thanks for typing all that out :)

    Another day done :j :j :j

    I was put on cover today in my only free lesson, so I am very tired this evening. I doubt I'll do much other than veg out on the sofa and the have an early night. I had two meetings and then a rehearsal after school as well so its been a long day!

    Another NSD today too, which is good :) OH has treated me to a smoothie maker as well, which is a nice surprise :) I made a lot of smoothies when I lived at home but we don't have a food processor here. This is a lot smaller which helps as we don't have a lot of space - it's quite sad that I'm looking forward to it arriving! :D

    I'm hoping so - it's certainly something to look forward to! It's going to make both January and February ridiculously tight money wise, but it'll be worth it :)
