Its hard to see someone doing your job I guess, are you going back there?

well done on the M&S money, I should do something like that
Sounds like you are still being very busy!!

Pammy it is bonkers. I didn't get a lunchbreak, and now the kids have realised they really are up against an actual deadline they want me to do stuff after school as well. Normally I would, but they have had 3 lunchtimes a week since October, and I am heavily pregnant and trying to tidy up for next Friday...

The M and S money is great, we just put pretty much all spending through it. We do have a budget though, or it would get out of hand, and periodically they put the credit limit up and I have to make them put it back down.

DH got his expenses in the post today for the exam meeting, that's about £120. He also has to organise probate for his Mum's estate. It will be interesting to see how he negotiates that with his Sister...or not.

I don't have to see my replacement doing my job as such, but she stood in for me last week and I have had to do some clawing back of expectations, and I am def going back to this school, I love it...does it sound like that?!

OOh someone deleted the spam.

No financial news today, NSD, just having a chill before girls' bedtime. Tomorrow I think its ballet, and collect the pine chest from the junk shop.

Puppy is booked in for her second jabs. DH marking madly.

Hey you've made it I believe!? At last. Have such a relaxing time - surely being pregnant is easier than getting coursework out of kids?! Who knows...
Enjoy your weekend, feet up, sleeping etc. I'm on count down until next week, can't come soon enough.

gratefulforhelp_2

Um...haven't made it until next weekend, one week to go!

I still have some reprobates to squeeze work out of...but I'm sure I will enjoy the rest until next Monday when the puppy comes :rotfl:

Aaah! I had it in my head it was today. Well, persevere and hang in there

My replacement is coming in for three days next week so I will [STRIKE]make[/STRIKE] allow her to teach two of the three and I will do the first. Then 2 days left and off I go!

Honestly, loads of people are looking and sounding more tired than me who are not pregnant.

I have a PGCE, he's going to get cracking next week too I remind him it's good career development and will do him good in the long run

Absolutely! No point in !!!!!footing around. I have just got rid of a desperately floundering trainee...one can fix almost any problem with them so long as they listen to and act on advice. It's when they won't do that you know they're sunk.

Just realised I have left my wedding and engagement rings in my cupboard, hope they'll be ok, I took them off 'cos I was showing off letting the kids set fire to methane bubbles on my hand. D'oh.
