The b***ers!!! Good for you. It’s the one of the downsides of part time work - the powers that be tend to forget that you are part time!apple_muncher said:Hey pinky! Lovely to hear from you again.Latest duty rota is out. I have 2. I work 2 days. So I've asked for an explanation...
Great CS haul 👍👍Original mortgage £112,000 . Final payment due August 2027.
Mortgage neutral achieved August 2020 - 7 years early!!!3 -
Duty issues still not resolved. Sigh. But, keeping perspective, I am enjoying my teaching and do not (yet) feel too much pressure. It does feel different, only being there for 2 days, and with both days being very very full, I feel like I don't see people. But I can cope with that!

I got myself up and out to the gym for about 8 am 🏋️. I persisted with the workout and finished it in 31 minutes. It had looked so anodine on paper 😂.Now to snuggle down and watch really fit people running the marathon while I sew up some bases.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!1

Organised October. Now, there's a scary goal...!I realised yesterday that I'm only working 3 days in October 🎉🎉🎉.I'll be having a table at my school cmas fair, so that's a focus for making things. I'm still working on my HP figures (yup, the ones I started in August). They are all stuffed and sewn up but 4 need long hair and all of them need their scarves attaching...NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0

They sound fab - can we see? Why only 3 working days in October? I know half term comes in the middle, are you off on an adventure? I am only working 2 days in October, but they will be Northern Pounds, and they go so much further than Southern Pounds

3 days is because we have a two week half term that starts on Sat 15th, so only 2 weeks away. But I'm on unpaid leave (grrrr, wouldn't be needed if they hadn't put me to work on a Fri)on Fri 14th. And the 31st is a Mon, when I don't work. Hence, 3 days!!I don't know how to add photos on here, so you'll just have to believe me when I say they are fabulous 😂.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0
