Attention all teaching staff

for those of you still on holiday - have you done your marking for next week?
have you done your planning for next week?

No? ....then get it done asap!!!! I do not want to hear you trying to squeeze it into the day before you go back when you should be relaxing and gathering your strength to deal with the lovely little children in your classes!!!!!

Is that the 16 year olds who given half a chance chat about who gave who er...sexual favours in the bus stop or on the gowf course???:rotfl:

Seriously, good advice, thanks Toots. Consider self told. Listen up, you chalks.

Wm on again, and loads of faffy letters written, and even posted before the postman gets here.

Afternoon all,

I haven't caught up so i hope everyone is ok.

I've hardly been home today. I took the boys to school and nursery then went to change OH's shirt. Then i popped home for a coffee, picked up Ds2 and went to Neveahs. I picked Lisa up from work and we went to Nevs for lunch, then i took her back to work and picked up the boys. I'm just finishing another coffee and then i need to clean the car. Ds2 has a nursery trip tomorrow and the parents have to go as well. I'm having to take people in my car and i can't at the moment with the state its in.:eek:

No flying to report but i expect i'll get a bit done later.

hollyh

Right i'm going for a HH Clean car.

Mumto5

Thank you everyone for your good wishes, it really means alot.

DS3 is delighted with his present and hasn't noticed that I've slipped out twice to see my nan. DD2 has slept on the kitchen sofa most of today she's still being sick. DH is working from home today (very lucky with whats occuring) and has cracked the whip at the grounded kids and it's looking pretty shipshape. They are treading very delicately with me. I'm getting lots of cups of tea made for me. I agree with you DUSTY we need to talk about our discipline issues. I will add it to my to do list.

Nan is flickering like a candle. It's like watching a ticking bomb. I've come home to rest as I've been up since 4 and am going back after I've put the little ones to bed.

Pink - Happy birthday to your DS. Hope he has a lovely day

In a real CBA mood today. I was going to do a bit of flying or studying after DD2 went to bed this afternoon but really couldn't be bothered so I had a lie down instead. But i do feel a bit better for it and hopefully I'll get a good bit of studying done tonight.

I also found new jumpers for DS3/DD3 and polo shirts for DD3 in September.. saves some shrapnel! Must cross them off my list!

My list of suff on the FB flinging page is growing! I'll upload the new one later.. I have shifted a fair bit but keep finding more.. it is quite depressing I haven't even got as far as the 2 shipping containers on the landing! :eek:
