    Afternoon. Seems Juliejim and Roundtuit have had a really busy morning.
    I had a good night's sleep, managed to completely miss the earthquake here, and this morning I attempted to take the dogs for a walk but both were having none of it - they're obviously having a lazy day.
    DH and I have been for a wander round a castle, and we're now both working on his wedding speech.
    Washing is in the machine. Garden is watered.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I now have to intersperse flying with report writing. There are 26 children; three comments per child so 78 to write. So far I have done 6. so 6/78 or 6/26 ; 0/26; 0/26.

    It's a good job I have a mind like a thesaurus.

    Bunny hutch next.

    (is glad doesn't teach the class with 31 (93 comments :eek:))

    I had a class of 33 one year, 1.5 sides of a4 for each report. Maximum of size 11 font and a head who could spot copy and paste at 1,000 yards... I don't miss those days.

    Good luck. You will get there.

    I heard it but I'm glad to say the earth didn't move here this time!

    I got a load of shredding done whilst waiting for DS's dad to arrive: finished filling one bag, put it in the recycling box, replaced bag and that was half full when shredder decided it needed to cool down. Thank you Jue I wouldn't have done it without you xx Every little helps :)

    After coffee and a natter, DS's dad dropped me off at mum and dad's where I had a couple of hours - it's getting really difficult to understand mum's speech :( Parkinson's affecting her throat muscles now. DS and GF arrived to say 'hello', then they've gone to the village gala while I came home, scribbled a quick list and drove to Mr C00p for a few bits for pack up tomorrow.

    Now I'm going to watch the triathlon :)

    Sun is now shining - so RB was right :cool:

    That's what I mean - I've had heads who claim to have read the report and they have STILL gone out with evidence of C&P (not mine I hasten to add; I work better starting from scratch for each child).

    11 maths to do and I will have done a third...

    Washing brought in, dinner/tea cooked and eaten.
