    Oh - and the quote shall be revealed in this week's email, apparently. Nothing special, just a rather bad quip that seems to have appealed to him... [trying to set up air of interest, knowing that everyone will say 'ergghhh, is that it?' when they read it!]
    hope it's the boobs and booty one

    Morning all

    Not done a lot here et, been chinwagging with Mum and Dad. Off to Mr M's in a mo for supplies. Will call in with flowers for DH and then when I get back will do some dot2dotting before I go up to school for the sex ed presentation to parents. Just need to know what Miss A might ask me about, she knows it all anyway but to be sure to be sure and all that.
    Well done for going and I hope the smoke from Coalite isn't choking you - I'ts quite upset me (used to work there) - I could see the FLAMES from the Eckington/Chesterfield Rd:eek:

    Valli - interesting, I was told that as I am paid for two and a half days INSET, it makes no difference when they are. I just get to miss a day off, when everyone else gets a day off classes. I wouldn't have done the display, it's on The List. Love the stories!
    I don't think my boss has ever seen The List..He might well be seeing it, soon;) but you should definitely NOT be going in extra to do INSET - or you should be paid for it. Your are contracted to do 2.5 days per week not 3.5...

    happy Birthday!:bdaycake:

    Dinner now on and kids sorted for bed.

    And things go wrong no matter what I do.

    Okay have been looking at other posts and have decided that someone's phrase on here of if its not there its done (or something like that) is quite a good way of doing it so for now (I'm a Gemini I will change my mind again no doubt lol) I am going to do today's list as a strike through list but previous days will delete those done just leaving those still to do. My weeklies list for now will be posted on a weekend as most of it will be done then and if ever I get organised will add these to specific days if I ever get a method lol. Sorry I am babbling now
