    aj something will turn up.. there is just something better waiting for him :D Could he do supply for a while?

    They are cutting back on supply teaching too :( the school who wanted him and where he wants to work have some maternity cover coming up, one of the deputies spoke to him this morning to let him know they would be advertised soon, hope he will at least get that or it could be a tough year financially, there may not be anything next year with these cuts

    First coat now done in utility room ceiling, now gonna put the primer on the skirting on the hall.:D
    Kids half killing each other so they'll be in bed shortly.:mad:
    Hope to get the second coat on the ceiling tonight and hopefully some of the plaster sorted in the hall.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I am determined to make a start on this tonight alongside my masters application form draft. I am determined to complete the kitchen and dining room tonight and then put the bathmats and shower curtain onto wash.

    The student I have been a Practice Educator for has done outstandingly well and passed her placement and final essay and got a job in the area she wants and it's been lovely to see things fall into place in this way for someone starting their life away from being a student.

    Right, actually might just crack on with the flying at the weekend and start the application form instead!

    :j:j:jIt's half term!!!:j:j:j and the sun's come out too.

    The Head said we could go and see him today if we wanted details of how we'd done in yesterday's observations (not an OFSTED, for info of fellow teachers, advisory services doing a 'learning walk'. Very little difference though.) I was rated Good with oustanding features, and the comment 'one of the best lessons I've seen in a long time' Yay!!! so I won't be handing in my resignation just yet!

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday to MOJ2, and mummyof5!!:bdaycake:

    Love and hugs to toots, diva and lady-liberty.

    :hello:to all my flylady friends.
