Oh come on! Stake through the heart. A little sunlight. It's like falling off a log"

OOOhhhh... so that would be the Learn More button just underneath - off to read that now. Whoops

In my defense, I'm tired and want to go to bed. But I still have 1.5 hrs that I need to stay logged on to work. Am pooooooped

Oh. my. godders. That is scarily me.... ..... ..... I sometimes find I just need my own space away from everyone, I care lots about other people (even ones who have been complete sh*ts to me in the past, but I hear from them that they have a problem and all I want to do is try to help them fix it). And, while I do my utmost to avoid conflict, this bit is so incredibly true : ' if someone with an INFJ personality cannot escape the conflict, they will do their best to deal with it head on, but this will result in a lot of stress and may also potentially lead to health problems or highly irrational behavior' - this happened in a major way last year with someone in the family. Everyone else couldn't understand why I took so much carp off someone in the family but when I finally reached 'crunch' point, everyone stood back and went 'wwwwoooooaaahhhhhh... what the h3ll just happened there??' and whilst I knew it was the right thing to do, and I still don't regret it (even though things went irrepairably worse after) I spent a good 7-8 months afterwards feeling on and off horribly stressed that I'd completely roacked the boat and had upset certan others by doing so. Thankfully Mr Shortie backed me up the whole way, and my folks - well... they'll always defend me as I'm their daughter.. but I still sometimes wish it never had to get to that point

Anyway, enough waffle from me - sorry!

Congrats on the Amex card SBO XXX


Evening or rather good night, I have two sleepy dogs and, three guinea pigs who are getting braver and more squeaky by the day - they have a wooden shelf thing in their cage and one of the piggies has FINALLY started to climb on it and jump off. This has TOTALLY confused the dogs as the piggies sudden appear and disappear.


hilarious.


that aside, yes this week has been !!!!. I have not done my best and am tired from going to bed late.


I am very lucky tho.


Just very very lucky

Hi there Buffy just dropping by to see how you're doing. Why is sticking to a budget so hard? I struggle too - on paper everything looks great but in reality ...........

Skintgerlinky - I hate "buzz words" too - "thinking outside the box" is a particular nasty one and as for "touching base", "blue sky thinking", "horizon scanning" etc - don't start me off! Like scraping your fingers down a blackboard! Yuk yuk yuk!

Hope you have a fab weekend Buffy!

Shortie

I always chuckle (to myself, not out loud) wen I hear people talking in work about 'debrief meetings' lol

beanielou

Blue sky thinking???

Buffythedebtslayer

long may it continue


going forward


out of the box/ in the box


pedagogy (HATE THAT ONE)


fast track (anything)






I am so SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


skint.


I paid for my car insurance.


644. 89


leaves me about 300 for the month, which would be ok aside from the expenses I should be incurring this month.


1. leaky bathroom - wanted to get a bloke to have a look. at the bathroom. minds out of gutter! not likely now to be honest.


2. new hoover. 69 pounds.


3. my credit card bill..........221 pounds. plus 87 for my minimum payment


I have 185 in one savings account and 100 in another, I have a few pots I am closing and realistically might have to finally pay in the rest of last year's sealed pot into my current account. not savings as I wished.


so tired. had stew. were it not for the dogs I would be off to bed now.

I know oh good god only too well that sometimes when you're feeling rubbish the last thing you want to hear is some Girl Guide saying 'yes but look at it this way...'

But can I just do one? Please??

If you hadn't been sensible and forward thinking then you wouldn't have your sealed pots to fall back on.

But you are and you did. Good on you lovely xxxxxxxxxxx

PS I hate pedagogy too. What does it even mean?? I've asked so many teach-y colleagues over the years and can scientifically conclude that none of them have a f*&king clue either.

Transparency.
Robust data.

Girl guide!


tis true about the sealed pot.


I too have asked teach -y people and no one knows. Of course you don't admit that during an inset......


I see your transparency an robust data and raise you Rapid progress and higher order thinking.


IT is just progress ( I mean rapid compared to what?) and thinking. Guess what people, kids think and make progress differently to each other and you and me. so stop poncying up my bloody job!
