Hope all your parent evening appointments run to time!

Out of curiosity, do you buy your weekly shop in on a Friday? I usually go on a Sunday but I can see the attraction of knowing your cupboards are full over the weekend.

Hope you're well.

Hi Speky, we usually do our food shop either Friday after work or Saturday morning. We do our weekly meal plan before we go after looking through the cupboards/freezer etc and working out whose where and who needs a meal.

My eldest son comes over Fri-Sun (he’s been living with his dad as it’s closer to his job) and DP daughter sometimes stays here on a Saturday so we need to be organised. Although sayng that sometimes we cook a meal for 5 and everyone decides to go out/ eat a takeaway or have something delivered!!! Then me and DP end up eating left overs for 3 days. :rotfl:

I think I may adopt a similair approach actually, one less thing to do at the weekend.

Meant to ask, how's the toothache?

louby40

Speky my tooth is great! Root canal worked a treat.

Work has been crazy busy, parents evening was good and my Year 1’s did a fabulous class worship for their parents.

Next week is a lesson observation with the head and maths coordinator so I’m trying to plan an interesting lesson. Plus we have started learning our Christmas nativity songs.

It’s a busy time for primary schools.

Trying not to drown under a mountain of work. Fed up of working until 7-8pm every night. Once my lesson observation is over on Thursday I’m easing off for a few days.

Roll on the Christmas break.

Hope the lesson goes well. I've got one next week, just had the learning walk last week, it's all go!
