Basically I have LOST my degree and pgce certs.
My sister and bil moved during the summer hols (both teachers) - when packing they discovered that his certs, final work, certs from when he was small (ie: his memories and important stuff box - all in a cardboard) had been destroyed by damp in the detached (asbestos riddled) damp garageHe thought it was packed in the loft

So here I am with a fabulous opportunity to reinvent myself, which if I am honest is really why I never stay too long in one job.
I undertake, starting tomorrow (Monday 2nd November tomorrow, not the eternal tomorrow) to;
Eat no more than the allowable calories on MFP
Take a walk EVERY DAY on work days this will be at work
Spend NOTHING unless absolutely necessary (avoided the Boden even though they sent me a 25% off voucher, but did buy a new whistle on ebay for £25)
Drink no alcohol, save for the night of my birthday, and Christmas
Be better organised (see certificate debacle).smallholdingsister wrote: »Cockney rhyming slang.
