  • That's why the dress code is stricter than ours then.

    You know those rubber charity wristbands? I have got some printed up for my outgoing Y11s with USBs in.

    I had a strict dress code at last place too and it was state sector. I guess it depends on the school/ area.
    The wristbands sound great! Where did you find them?

  • Walked dog, did school run, met with kitchen planning guy who reckons we can flog our kitchen unit (from 50s or 60s) to heartbeat props team!

    Looking like a NSD, is it Thursday already?

    Did a bit of extra marking yesterday and made £20.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Well done on the extra marking - Don't think I could go near an exam paper for a while! We break up next week and I am so excited! I am going to aim for as many nsd and no petrol days as I can. Your forgetting the keys thing and having an extra 20 miles to do sounds like somethign I would do!!

  • Well done to you both on the extra marking. I couldn't face any more......:j
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
  • Thanks. Isn't it great when it's over?

    Puppy is being ASBO dog this morning, think she has eaten one biro too many.

    No great plans for today, will def be a NSD. May get a little glass of wine later if DH gets his marking started early enough to finish at a sensible time.
