    I haven't decided cheery and thank you beanie and RT for the cheering from the sides too. But, I am going for a look.

    I'm laughing at being in bed in my wellies and my hat tied on.

    Genius :rotfl:

    Someone at work summed up working at the place I am at at the moment.

    They said, quite nail on the head like.

    If you treat this as a saturday job, its quite a nice place to work.

    For me it just summed it up.

    It is like a saturday job, although a bit more technical at times. Just not sure I want to spend my life feeling like that's all my contributions are.

    ON the positive I realised the other day I'm doing more one to one teaching and skill sharing than I probably ever did teaching without the paperwork.

    That is really positive.

    Banks checked home lunch prepared - time to get a wriggle on.

    Have a good one folks.

    Goodness me Pippi - I really am doing some shoddy skim reading this week - thought for a second you'd DONE 23 hours work today :eek: :rotfl: Glad you haven't!!

    Fingers crossed for tomorrow :j :j You'll ace it of course - they'll love you :) Then you can just decide whether you love THEM as much :j :j

    Interesting thought about treating work like a Saturday job. I've had jobs like that - loved them but not wanted to stay forever maybe...
