Hello I am tired but happy. It is lovely outside. Now I am tidying house v slowly for when parents come later today.

Some good news, I have made about £35 on fleabay this week after postage is paid for.

I worked at home all day today. My nieces visited. My parents leave Thursday booohoooo. They are brilliant cooks and I am soooo spoilt.

Shudder to planning.....I've managed to get a couple of French lessons updated, but am avoiding doing the bulk of it as I reckon that on Inset day with the new Head, she'll come up with a variety of different things she wants to see in books/on lesson plans and so some of it will be pointless if I spend too much time on it now

We've already got new lesson plan formats, which are a right royal PITA, I'm teaching the same bit of the key stage again, so do have a few plans to recycle, but now I'm going to have to copy and paste them into the new required format. Grrr...

And breathe! I'll stop whining on your diary now

I've got all new subjects.lol. Nightmare, but I have done loads now.

Payday tomorrow at midnight.:D

Gulp - may I ask what you teach those hormonal teenagers*? Hope there are some good SoW on TES or the mighty Twinkl!!

*sorry, you've probably already told me, I blame middle age

Its good that you are letting parents look after you SW. Great ebay sales too !

What's twink? It's business studies - I have various degrees so my subjects can vary from year to year.

Ok don't anyone get mad as Steve and Andy are not impressed at all. I have just requested some gorgeous shoes on ebay. I wanted them for months and I am going to be using my ebay sales money not my 'real' cash.

Parents have just left. My brother put up my new shelving unit in the garage in record time and I am going to transfer my files over today. Despite the forecast the weather is gorgeous so I am washing the sheets today. I have been given t he day off today as it is quiet at work! and my contract has been reduced!

I just bought some crisps for 99p. I'm keeping a spending diary this month to stop wasting money.

As long as you have enough money to pay all your bills and food and you are not going into debt I agree with you on the shoes Why not decide in future you will only buy stuff if you sell enough to cover the cost ? Glad you had a nice time with parents and brother came in handy too lol.
