I'm so pleased the wedding went off well and you managed to cope ok. As you say, it's good to catch up with family that you don't get to see often. I only get to see most of my cousins at weddings and funerals these days!Enjoy your Sunday today busily doing nothing!😁

I’m pleased you enjoyed the day after the emotions of the actual ceremony. Bet you needed your rest today and like you said you don’t need to worry about it now as it a done deal.Enjoy school tomorrow - I could happily stay off another couple of weeks.....or months. Just had a message saying we’re 2 staff down from our little team tomorrow, so a manic day will be on the cards for me 😳January spends - £587.587

. The whole day was quite traumatic but it was nice to see family and at least it's over now. I hope your day wasn't too manic!

I wasn't looking forward to going back to school after the holiday, but I knew it would do me good as it would stop me dwelling on the wedding/missing my mum, etc. I did have a good day today. It's funny how you forget why you enjoy it over the holidays 😂. I had a really naughty boy in one of my new groups but he was quite well behaved today. We'll see how long it lasts! At lunchtime we had wet playtime 🌧 for the first half hour but I was expecting it so it wasn't too bad. Hail is forcast for tomorrow 🌨😱.
Now I'm home I'm going to rest as I feel tired and I've got another early start in the morning. Spending today was just on eight pints of milk as I remembered to take a can of coke with me from home. It's pay day tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉😁.
I hope everyone has had a good Monday.
