gratefulforhelp's austerity measures

Bless you honey. I'd be disappointed if you didn't blub!! I still feel bad I'm missing my bessies last week at work.

You'll see her again??? Is she moving far?

twinklie

I'll see her yeah...not least in 6 months when she returns. She's going on Mat leave too. Ha ha I'll miss her loads though.

gratefulforhelp_2

6 months isn't long.

twinklie

No it's really not. I wish she could afford to take longer bless her. However, on a purely selfish note...it's ages and I don't want her to go. Although it does give me an excuse to go round more often and steal some baby cuddles!

Awww there seems to be a small baby boom at the moment... everyone seems to be pregnant..

twinklie

I'm very bloody, I'm nearly the only one I know now with no kids and none on the way. It's all very depressing. LOL

I've had a 'phantom' pregnancy this year. Was in the staffroom t'other week chatting to some colleagues over lunch, when a woman who I don't get to see very often as she works on the furthest part of the school site from me bounded up to me and said " congrats, I hear you're going to be a mummy". Nearly choked on my soup :eek:

There are three of us in work with the same first name, so when she heard the gossip she assumed it was me. I had no idea my namesake was pregnant so it took a few minutes to get my head around why she thought I was up the duff. Perhaps I need to go on a diet, just to be safe and avoid any future confusion


enjoy your maternity leave GFH xx

bit of a dance across the keyboard from r to l there. Freudian slip?!:D

i'm getting increasingly broody. Then I go to work and think "maybe not just yet" :rotfl: Teaching is such a good contraceptive. And it ruins your choice of names for any offspring you may have.

Perhaps it was...I think maybe I was going for bloody broody!! Who knows. :rotfl:

See the more I teach the more I want kids...I love the banter at school and there are very few that I actually truly dislike. Plus I've never taught anyone with the names we like (some are Welsh though and you don't get many of those names to the pound in the NW). :j
