My colleagues needed jelly babies today. We have Ofsted in. I needed a packet of 10 'real' cigarettes!! (Been smoking roll ups)
I don't work Thursday or Friday as contracted days so it's been odd. Relieved that I've escaped but just feeling so sorry for everyone else.
Stressful times as anyone who has ever worked in Education will know......Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Haha for a second, when I read 'real' I was picturing those little candy sticks we used to pretend smoke as kids... We've had cold weather for the fake smoke as well!
Hoping Ofsted goes well for the colleagues!
Another NSD for me - I didn't need anything today, and I don't need anything until Saturday.0 -
