  • Thank you Alex.

    It doesn't always feel that way.

    :rotfl: Certainly doesn't feel like that when pupils resent you, nor do they seem to give much in the way of thanks a lot of the time. So I do know where you're coming from. :)

    ETA: Well done on the NSD. :D

  • Thanks!

    NSD so far but tempted by some new work clothes.

    One of the up sides of a school in "circumstances" is when you say "Will I be teaching x next year?"

    They clutch you and say how much they need you.

    I'm a sucker, right?!
  • Hello,

    I am a sucker like that too! We all like to be needed, even if we do end up with a very challenging workload!

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    "Why are we even doing this?".

    Priceless.
  • It has been a terrible winter for grass.

    Plops had her wormer this morning. Silly twit clamped her mouth so tightly shut she has nose wrinkles.

    She knows I'm never giving in though.

  • Earthie I have been so annoyed with myself since we have been back on the sauce Fridays and Saturdays and I have felt so lethargic and unmotivated Saturday and Sunday.

    Avoided it last night though and got a bit more done today. Checked the book bags of doom for all the missiles from school that I usually miss.

    Well done on the determination, hope you didn't wear too much of the wormer.

    It has been the worst winter I've known (for feed) since having horses - nearly 25yrs!! Absolute rubbish!
