    I have no idea which county @apple_muncher is apart from about 60 minutes away from Tate Modern by public transport.
     ....But then I am 58 minutes away from The British Library by train ... honestly, she could be anywhere!!

    Apple, I've just taken advantage of a DS nap to have a look on Pinterest and spotted corner bookmarks! They're two triangles of material or felt sewn together on two sides and embroidered with a pretty little design. Thought I'd mention it here in case you've got any little scraps lying around as they could be sold as quite a cheap little gift.

    Now that I clicked on one for a closer look I'm getting Pinterest suggestions for half a dozen others from different shops and platforms, so I don't think I've just pinched one persons amazing idea for you :|

    Hi Carolbee, fraid I'm nowhere near Faversham. F0xh0les' phrase was brought to us by the letter F.
    Thank you for the idea VH. I'll pop on and have a little look-see.

    While Pip danced, I collected about 17kg of weight plates for free and then for £10.90 I got a nadidas puffer jacket for pip, a lovely shirt for pip, 2 pillowcases and 12 small pots for my penguins.

    I'll try and do photos beanie, but I've never put one up on my thread before!
    Today we saw a fantabulous doctor. Pip gets rotten cramps that even the combo of ibu, paracetamol + busc0pan do not touch. The dr listened to us and has some suggestions, but wanted to run them past the gynae team first. Yay for drs like her!
    I have a small dilemma: a localish private girls school is closing down - the foundation that run 2 boys schools too just dumped the info on them a couple of weeks into term. Ya boo and hiss. However, one of the boys schools is looking for invigilators, paying slightly more than at pip's school, and waaaay more than state schools. Do I apply? One reason to apply is that the team at pip's school has about 18 of us, so the work is spread out and can be not as much as my availability... One reason not to apply is that this is pip's y11!

    I would apply. 
    As you know you could not invigilate any exams PIP was sitting. 
    Follow the money!

    Thanks beanie! I'll apply 😎 I might not be able to do that much this academic year, but it'll be good to have my foot in the door for future years.
    Pip has their own room for exams - access arrangements - so I'd never be allocated to them. Which frees me to be in the main exam room, or with other pupils who need their own room.

    You are now a trained experienced invigilator. Why would you not apply? 
    Poor Pip.
