    Incidently, I'm on a washing dishes strike. Unfortunately I can't put any washes on (plates on top of machine), until my OH bucks his ideas up and cleans up after himself!!

    I'm not that lazy honest! :rotfl:

    Incidently, ETS haven't sorted what I rang them about on Monday so I feel another call coming on!!! :mad:

    What about Harriet :confused: . Aw, I like rats. Looked after a friend's once, I love the little chuntering noise they make :D .

    Stuart - :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: , what an evil mind you have!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Harriet is sat on my shoulder as I type eating carrot!! She's a very noisey eater!! She hates it when I clean her out because I destroy the MASSIVE nest she's painstakingly made. She sulks.

    Usually she won't let me go near her for 24 hrs, but my OH can pick her up and play with her still....daft rat!!

    I'm getting stressed cos the stupid site I'm ment to enter my marks into won't work!!! ARGH!!!!!

    Ok, so I've just done some sums! I had over 375 at the start of the week to get done on these SAT's papers. I'm now down in the region of 260 papers! Yey me!

    Although that does me that my count is slightly out on my list...doh! However, Im going to ignore that. It's only 30 odd papers till I next have to benchmark...so it's my aim to get to that stage by the end of today! Phew!!

    Wish me luck! I'm off to mark again...and Harriot is coming with me. Ha ha.

    As for you Stuart....clearly you don't know me very well...lol!! :p
    Well now I feel much happier; Harriet's a bundle of scampering fun and Twinklie is not so driven by clearing the mortgage that she has resorted to extortion of others... :D

    I learnt a valuable lesson today!

    Don't benchmark SAT's papers in anger!!

    I had a massive row with OH mid marking...then continued to mark. Unfortunatley this has lead to me failing. I'm stuck now. Blocked out of the system and will not get all my marking done in time!

    I'm more cross than I was before now!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm leaving it there I think. However, it's worth pointing out that I've done lots already today. So I'm pretty happy with myself! :T


    Can't believe I'm a proper teacher now, passed all my assignments and everything. WOW! :j

    Time to concentrate on life and getting the house sorted. I'm gonna try applying for JSA too in a bid to earn some money over summer, since there aren't many temp jobs in my area and I only want one for summer.
