Apple muncher's number crunching

I've set up an out of office message on my school email so no one can expect me to do things.

My craft items are all boxed up and ready to go tomorrow morning.

ouch, sprains are painful, and can take so long to heal. No climbing for them for a bit 🙁 I hope Pip can sleep tonight and has something to distract over the weekend.  Maybe a bit of enforced sofa time will do you both good x

I have my 2 school fairs of the summer this weekend - one each day - so no lounging around for me!! Pip wants to come along to both but I have emphasized the need to pace themself and take it easy!

Have a great time at the fairs, I hope you do well - and I hope Pip isn't in very much pain.

It is hot here! It was very very hot this afternoon at the fair. I'm very grateful for my neighbour lending me their gazebo and for the shade it gave me. Pip and dh came along for the set up and stayed for the first hour then dh came and collected me at the end. I bought a few little bits and sold a few bits too. It wasn't a rip-roaring success, but I think I made about £30. And I enjoyed being outside with nothing to think about. I even won a prize in the raffle and chose a paint your own birdhouse.

More of the same tomorrow... Though I'll not win anything at the raffle cos the tickets are like £2 each, whereas my school sells them for 5 for £1. And my school table was just £10. Tomorrow's is £30!

No burpees today but I have marked 5 whole scripts .

Fair #2 is all done and dusted. It was super hot but a breeze and then clouds helped a lot. And the blessed gazebo 😎 All in all, I sold about £200 of stuff over both days. Happy apple. And the items to make more of? Needle felted turtles, penguins, penguins or polar bears on ice floes. Sewn dinosaurs.

Poor PIP   Am constantly astonished by the weight of school rucksacks/bags.  Great sales too.  Interesting in hot weather your cold weather animals sold so well

I must not reply to work emails.

I'm a slow learner when it comes to sick notes...

Yes apple...I know you have a huge sense of responsibility but management has done nothing to earn your loyalty.  Has it even tried to give you a dilemma about whether you should resign?! The Trunchbull has run true to form throughout, no? You are allowed, nay positively ordered, time off.  Only saying this because I, together with so many more of your devoted admirers, care.  Love Humdinger

Sick note extension requested unti 23/3. Should hear from GP later.

Big sis, aka The Wise One, said to ignore emails. I've said who to contact on the automatic reply. And if I reply, I might be muddying the waters. When I look at them, just the inbox lines, I feel the anxiety knot forming. Not good.

So I'll try not to feel guilty about being off... I promise I'll try very hard 🤣
