    I'd better get my finger out and get a proper job before the kids need uniforms, and trips, and piano lessons...it scares me!

    Glad you love your job really :)

    Hello Peeps!
    Disgracefully spendy. £68.
    Did include socks for homeless people, dye to re vamp sofas,

    :wave:

    Just had catch up A, gosh you've been busy! Please can we have before and after photos of the above (sofa upcycling, I mean, not homeless peeps) ... after seeing your lovely quilt dying I'm keen to see the magic you can work on a sofa!

    Glad the marking's all out of the way, enjoy marking off these weekends until the end of term! Glad you enjoy the job for itself but you're right, it just makes a few key colleagues and a stream of never ending demands to make the difference in how you feel about it for yourself.

    Right, off to feed students and start work too ... hope you have an easy weekend! x

    Sounds good.

    Dear inhabitants of the South West,
