You will learn and have training to teach you. It's also worth a look online to see if there's any videos, it won't be so daunting then.

It's going to happen for financial reasons so I've no choice. I had to rest for a bit tonight as i had a headache. I feel so anxious. The plan for tomorrow is
i) wake up at 4am write a lesson of some kind
ii) in early morning take taxi to vaccine centre and get vaccinated
iii) if poss start thinking of a final activity
iv) Sunday work on interview and also on lesson plan paperwork.
One week till payday I cannot wait as it is also a holiday.
I have £16 cash and £19 in bank but owe £36 (£26 of this was lesson resources) on July's credit card and will clear this on payday.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
That sounds like a busy weekend SW. I hope your vaccination goes ok and you don’t get any side effects. I just felt grotty the next day and my arm ached for a week after the first one. No side effects this time after the second one.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Look up mindfulness and do a little bit, it will help relax you.
Try and find some time for non-work related fun, even if it's 10 minutes sitting in the garden, a stroll round the block or listening to your favourite song.
TomBo has been fine with his 2nd jab, I think the body has got used to the new ingredients floating round the body.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
Hello second vaccine went well I am v pleased, my interview seemed to go well. Candidates were still being seen so we will hear in two or three days. I am keeping fingers crossed. Either way I enjoyed it and it was a day away from work, I did leave with a smile on my face.
Taxi fare for vaccine was £17, taxi fare for interview was £26 I charged it to my card.
I am tired and will rest today after a hospital appointment and do minimal marking. No housework done in the weekend, luckily lodger did the dishes!Aiming for a minimal spend 20222
