Well done on the weight loss :T
Good luck tomorrow both with car being all fixed and work.
And with DD and glasses, at least they're accepted these days...know a few kids who wanted glasses (but didn't need them) because their friends had them!
She sounds a tough cookie with the other health issue, if it's any comfort my Mum was born with only one lung that grew and her chances of survival were minimal from birth with best ongoing outcome she wouldn't see the teenager years...yet she's still hanging in there aged 76
and she's had major surgery more than once for unrelated problems (one was a 10 hr op). Defying the medics ongoing has been her life times goals

We did well in our Local Authority review. It'll be three years in Jan since the school I teach at were put into special measures. I joined them when they had just been upgraded to requires improvement i June 2014.
Ofsted is now imminent, supposedly before christmas, but with a shortage of inspectors we could still be waiting in the summer.
Anyhow to help us prepare we have undergone a local authority review, or 'mockstead' as many are calling it.
Overall we got 'good' which is wonderful. However, personally I did quite well. My lesson was graded 'good' with 'outstanding features.' My Head challenged why it wasn't outstanding - and all the inspector could come up with was that a child had taken a toy off another child and it wasn't noticed. (The children in question were free flowing whilst I was doing a small group intervention maths session with my lower ability.)
My head said personally she thought it was outstanding, and that there was no way I could have noticed the child taking the toy, because it didn't lead to crying or telling tales etc - they just got on with it. As this is going towards my observations/appraisal this year I'm very pleased.HOME

Thank you, well officially it was good, but the deputy head actually came to say she was really pleased for me, that I'd worked really hard etc, so was pretty chuffed.HOME
