    Thanks Fairy - I'm absolutely loving the job, I have my first playground duty tomorrow! The pay is so rubbish that I get to keep m carers (not that I'm complaining!:rotfl:) and it is so nice talking to grownups again!!

    Feeling pretty rough today - apparently I will build up an immunity to all the snotty noses soon!!

    Will be rolling a few but still hopeful I can do the ebay and the DY once monster goes to bed!

    2) Find binoculars for cubs done :)but there was no moon or stars to look at
    3) Buy laminating pouches done :)
    4) fill out registration forms for doctors roll over to weekend
    5) Read as much of my book as possible (I'm enjoying it but keep nodding off reading on the bus) done :)only 50 pages to go
    6) Buy sawdust roll over
    7) finish feelings display done :)
    8) check at school for a roll of paper big enough to draw around a child done :)
    9) Watch and return film
    10) Write a letter
    11) Find and decorate the old coffee jar

    Hi guys,
    Just wanted to pop my head in to say I have been reading your stepping and I am with you all the way, just not had time to come and post this week. Hoping to be back to normal next week. On the plus side, i am stepping away like mad as most of my things are to do with work and general niggles like tax returns and suchlike :-) See you all soon, lots of hugs xx
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

  • :) cool, yay i got everything done. I just need to give my assignment into my teacher tomorrow and see if they'd allow me to leave my college stuff there so i dont have to bring it with me to my job induction.

    I don't have any plans tomorrow as i won't be free to do anything. I have college then my job induction until 8pm, won't get home until 9:00pm - 9.30pm depending on traffic D;
