Well done for making half term. It will be that much sweeter now!

Alchemilla

Thanks Earthie. You too!

I have woken with renewed determination. Life has seemed such a battle lately. Some of it out of my control. Some of it caused, I think, by I am starting to wonder...being bullied at work.

Anyway I am going to make a note here and people can tell me what they think.

Ponyplops is priority this morning and I WILL mark my y7 books tonight and complete my second job (CA moderation) by the end of half term. Also I am getting back on MFP after two days of being hopeless.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.

Taking control back in your life is a really positive way to make a difference to how your feeling. Even if you don't change anything major, just making the decision to not be "pushed around" can change how you feel.

You'll be fab

I don't envy teachers - those who go on about long holidays(!) clearly don't know any teachers! My sister and her OH are both teachers and my DD wants to be an English teacher (you think she'd've been put off lol!) But a good teacher is remembered for life x

Go alchemilla!

I tried last year and didn't manage it but looking back, work was incredibly stressfull, plus studying, on top of working full time properly (hours all mostly in weekdays rather than my 3 jobs which I worked round the kids) so it was just so hard. I definitely made a "no more excuses" decision. Sounds like your life is a chaotic as mine!

Alchemilla

Soo chaotic!
Thanks guys for your kindness. Teaching is the best job in the world. The problem is rarely ever people under 18!!

Just looking for land to buy so we can sell up and be mortgage free. DH is objecting strenuously to living in a mobile home.

Ha, I bet he is...bit cold in winter, depending on the model

When ever we take a massive risk (only twice), oh and I always say, well if it doesn't work, we'll live in a caravan. Its a bit of a joke now, but we were deadly serious both times. I always thought it would be good fun!

Good luck with your determination. You can do anything you put your mind to!
