    £90 farrier. Now I smell like burning hoof.

    Moderated my socks off today but there is yet more to do.

    Back to it!

    Thanks you too.

    Celebrated too soon since the consequent paperwork is a killer. Off to post it soon and get DS new jamas. DD2 cheerfully sporting new gear since DD1 cleared out her wardrobe.

    Ponyplops this avo. Must measure her as I think she has grown.

    Ooh, I always think that I like the smell of the farrier, for a ex-rider it's such a nostagic smell. Then I just start choking and realise how awful it is!

    Enjoy the day now moderation done and posted off :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Aww thanks Tilly. I always feel like I am doing it wrong. Life I mean.

    When the students do what used to be called coursework staff in school mark it. Then staff in each school get together to agree on marking standards/strictness. I am working for an exam board (second job!!) And what we do is ask the school for a sample of their coursework and then check they are marking in line with what the exam board thinks.

    If they are then all good and we agree their marks. If not then we check another sample and if that is wrong too then the school gets its marks for a given subject adjusted.

    I feel sorry for some of the schools because they lack specialist teachers in Science if the school is very small and then it is awfully hard to mark properly.

    Gosh that sounds very 'thorough'!!
    I imagine you need to be very patient and not mind a bit of red tape!

    Education is beset by red tape.

    Just spent £12 in sweet shop, £23 on 5 pairs of boy jamas and £16 on toys which comes out of the children's money.

    Lunchtime I think.
