    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    When's it all got to be done by???

    Nobody should have to do that kind of marking at this time of year.

    At my school, coursework always has to be marked over Easter, tests always have to be marked within a week of the students sitting them, and we avoid setting projects (in my department at least). Marking the tests with a quick turnaround is a pain at the time, but at least they can't hang over into the summer.

    Aw Alchemilla that's evil ... and the play on top! Mr. Hbbb had to go to his last night, he was on the door (he joked and said it was to stop everyone from escaping, including the poor kids who were delivering ninety minutes of drama in this mad heat)!

    Hope you get done soonest and then get some well earned relaxation and summer sun.

    Hope it's a good day tomorrow, despite the horrible workload. x
