Evening everyone!

I finished at school at 3.20pm today, as I had no marking to do as the children (year 2) had to make anti-bullying posters after I read them a story, and then they had singing (learning the first song for their Christmas nativity), so was able to get home by 4.30pm after nipping to Mr T to buy milk and washing powder. :j

Thanks for replying to my question about the shower curtain aimeeL. I'll give it a go tonight, as I ran out of time before I left for work. :T

Hope OH gets home soon, cos I'm starving!! That's the trouble with having to eat lunch at 11.30am.

I think you're probably right about picking up every bug Serena - hopefully this will be a good thing though, cos going around lots of different schools, I should become immune to nearly everything in the end, which will be fantastic, as it means that when I get a permanent position, hopefully I won't have to take time off sick. Am cross with OH at the moment though, cos I had a packet of cherry flavour Ricola throat sweets on the coffee table (the only flavour I had that sounded nice), and I'd only eaten one, and I went to find them yesterday, and he'd eaten half the packet - I think he thought they were sweets, although he claimed it was to help his mouth ulcer! :rolleyes:

The good thing about supplying, is that I've found a couple of schools that I'd like to work at if any jobs come up, one of which was the school I was in this avo - really nice, and great TAs. I definitely think that I want I job in an infant school or in Key Stage 1 (5-7 year olds) of a primary school.

Managed to put 3 loads of washing away this morning, and tidy up the airing cupboard. Just need to put another couple of loads on to clear the floordrobe in the bedroom now then I can make a start on dinner. *rumble rumble*

Not too bad. Will do floor tomorrow when I do the hall and give the sink and AGA a wipe over in a minute.

I cleaned the tumble dryer filter - I put the fluff in egg boxes and then use the little pots as fire lighter - how money saving and enviormentally friendly is that!

Evening everyone, welcome back AnWsMum great news about the floor I posted the list but then had to answer the phone, today has turned into a bad day

Went to pick my car up, got some new fish for DSs fish tank then on the way home someone came onto the wrong side of the road and hit my car they only smashed the wing mirror off but with such force that it came through the window hitting me in the face and loads of glass followed it by the time I stopped they were well gone. DS1 was screaming, glass hit him but seems unhurt, have checked him for cuts as I have loads of them.. I've had to call autoglass to come and sort the window tonight (thankfully they do 24 hour call out and is coming between 8 and 11, as it's pouring down and I've rang scrayards everywhere but noone had one, costing me a fortune. I still need to try and get a wing mirror. I'll need to vacuum out all the glass tomorrow and check for any more damage but we think it's all that it hit as I went onto the grass to avoid it. This month money wise is going from bad to worse sorry for the moan but noone else to moan at, still shaking like a leaf.

Anyway, I did some of the kitchen and my dailies, will finish the rest later when they boys are in bed hopefully. DS2s sheets in drier now as he wet the bed again last night. Just counting my lucky stars was no other damage and wasn't worse. Sorry the list is a copied one off a few weeks ago but couldn't think straight and didn't want to let you all down.

OOH BIG HUGS to lil_me - I've had that happen to me twice now so I know how scary it is. Did you call the police? Were there any witnesses?

juliejim

Hugs lil-me - hope you're all alright - it really shakes you up doesn't it!
