    Evening all,

    Decluttered my first proper day in my new school, and all seems to have gone ok. I'm absolutely shattered now though, as we had staff meeting until 5.30pm too, so I'm going to go to bed in a minute.

    Flying wise, I've done a silent 27 fling boogie in the classroom, and the cleaners commented on how tidy the classroom was when they went in there, so I'm in their good books which is nice. They both seem lovely (I'd say they were in their 60s or older - not sure if they're a married couple or not though).

    Well I'm off to have a quick look at the phonics plan for tomorrow, because after everyone deciding that we weren't going to have it tomorrow, it's now back on. *roll eyes smilie*

    Happy yellow day to AnW clan.

    Hugs to LadyL (hope you're settling in and not missing the puddies too much) and toots (hope your hospital stay is nearly over).

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    ...just flying through at top speed. Dropped out badly last week (mostly on the allotment, or running a taxi service) but willing to try again this week, the paid work thing permitting.:D

    I'm way behind on the news, so love and hugs to all who would like one.

    ps I've washed up, and flung a few things...

    pps froddington
    , DS1 went up to Download at Donnington today. He's working there, fingers crossed that it all goes well.

    ppps mrsgnomey, love your comment about teaching something, but not sure what, so sack me. You go girl!!

    Thanks for your hugs and lovely messages.:)

    Today
    Ds2 freaked out in a garden centre because he saw a poster with a tarantula on it and then kept saying he wanted to go home.

    Ds1 came home very upset from school. Boy from last weeks trouble, in his form and made horrid remarks etc. School actually rang me back about half hour ago and will look into it. They told me to ring the police if big gangs knock on my door again.

    Off to do my kitchen and do evening routine
