You have only one full day?? I have three...but 6 days to go!

IHateDida

Oooh yes ....6 days and everything will be just fine....!_party_ (well....ok fine...for a week!:p)

This year, yeah I only have 1 full day....I only teach 3 on a Thursday as well which is nice. Give it 12 weeks or so and I won't have any full days! B L I S S.

For a year...I am going on mat leave. Only three children and a puppy to worry about...

Just realise my bessie leaves work a week today...I feel all emotional. Anyone would think I'm not going to see her. But we've done all our training together, worked in the same department together etc. Even though I don't even see her hardly during the day, the idea of her not being a few doors away is weird.

I know it's stupid but I miss her already. She is soooooooo lovely and whilst I can't wait for her to be a mummy (it's so exciting), I don't want her to leave me!!! Ha ha.

Good God...I need to get a grip!

Well kids...guess who is ill again. I'm ill without being ill...stupid voice has just upped and left. I don't feel unwell aside from being tired. I had to leave period 3 today though because I was getting nowhere. A bloomin nightmare. Couldn't get an appointment at docs though - gotta call again at 8.30 am. If I can get my voice out...might have to just rock up there yet and write them a note! :rotfl:

This is the 5th time it's totally packed up on me in less than a year!! So I guess I'll have to see if this new docs are better than my old ones. Hopefully they'll do something about it. I can't face trying to go to work with no voice - and so I won't, not least because I don't want to do permenant damage.

If I self cert the rest of the week...if needs be, how does that work with regards to half term hols. Do the hols count as sick days? Surely not.

Please don't work through no voice. I had to have speech therapy for mine a few years back as i kept pushing it and really strained myself.

Hols aren't sick days, but if you think you might still be ill after half term then get a sick note.

Sorry to hear you are off it again. Did you ever get fully to the bottom of the stuff last summer?

twinklie

I defo won't be working without my voice....I can't even keep quiet in a house on my own...at work it just wouldn't happen. My biggest fear is not speaking...it's a fav past time of mine. I know I sound like I'm making light of it all...but I'm not I promise.

Never found out what was wrong with me last time...but I'd put money on it all being connected. Fingers crossed they'll refer me to ENT or something. I have no idea if I'll be ill after half term...it depends - if it is same as last time...probably is the only answer I can give.

Chase up the other stuff, and get a sick note in case. Might be more faff, but worth it to cover yourself hun.

Hope you manage to rest it and it comes back.
