  • Another busy and productive but quite frustrating day. Behaviour is still poor at work and I've had the toughest couple of teaching days I can remember in years... However, I got lots done, which is good news while things are so busy.
    In between teaching, and exam stuff I also found the time today to pick up my mediation form at the family centre and hand it in at the solicitors. That's the last box ticked now so I can take ex to court over getting the house transferred into my name. The secretary was a bit voice-of-doom warning me that it'll cost thousands (thanks - I kind of already knew that but what else can I do?)
    Also went to a doctor's appointment I've been putting off for months so I can cross that massive frog off the list. I've added another couple of things today.
    2 of the 3 exams I'm marking have been done over the past 2 days so I'm about to get very busy - hence the very quick check in here.
    I will be back though, but apologies if my updates are brief and a bit abrupt.

  • I'm poorly sick _pale_
    Woke up this morning with a bit of a chesty cough, which has deteriorated badly as the day has gone on and now includes aches and pains everywhere. If there was a time I couldn't afford to get sick it's definitely exam season. UGH!
    Ah well. I've taken 2 ibuprofen and some cough medicine - keeping the night nurse for 8pm.
    Will be back.

  • Uh oh!

    That sounds like the dreaded f word. Hope it disappears quickly and doesn't spread to the kids!
