    Totally shocking and painful for all to hear about.

    Got plenty done off my yo do list, with the added curveball of ds2 needing to see doctor and a pharmacy run for antibiotics in case an infection develops. Walked to the pharmacy got evercise.

    Made packed lunch for when taking the students out tomorrow. Have early morning teaching, followed by full day excursion and then prosecco and hot tub party with a few friends. Ds1 has a pal staying over.

    To do tomorrow
    Hoover and dust, might squeeze this in later
    Check energy deal
    Package up Ebay sales (I hope)

    Sunday
    More Ebay sales
    More teaching
    Slow cooker tea
    Take kids to pool

    Getting a bit frustrated with the students. They are the laziest in terms of helping out, they are on their phones all the time and have smashed the fence behind the goals in three places (hitting the ball so hard). They have smashed off the ball on the end of the swing ball. They kick the football over the fence nd just leave them for others to get. They are both strapping six foot men really. I have to feed them so much food. Today I bought ice creams and they both asked for the biggest double ice cream available and didn't offer to contribute.

    They come across as rude and arrogant. I've had maybe 10 students and I've had an arrogant one before but he didn't smash things up!

    They broke something else in the garden by smashing a ball into it, so I had words with them, and so did OH. They will probably go back to their previous behaviour so I'll have to keep reminding. I don't mind if I get a bad review from them about this. I might flag it up to the company just in case. They are here for another week, and then another two arrive for 2 weeks.

    So today I need to:
    hoover
    collect my car from my friends
    change students beds and clean around
    cook roast dinner

    Monday
    Contact company
    replan week to take time off on thursday when oh at funeral
    start end of stay reports
