If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

oooh sorry justa

Just a bit lou.

NAO - that's a bit ago now. She is into Y2 now and don't I know it!

Anyway, didn't mean to post all my woes. I try and keep all that stuff off here much as possible, this is my retreat where life is rosy lol

Actually I'm going to ask to have my 22:06 post deleted as the HQ obviously have enough crap to deal with right now.

It was also an uncharitable thought.

Hula I would imagine that teaching in a prison is a bit like teaching in a tough school, you can do it if everything else in your life is good, but when something upsets that balance it is almost impossible to have the strength to cope at work.

well a personal attack doesn't exactly put people in a forgiving mood does it tinsel

it seems this is more entertaining than eastenders to some, i've noticed.

Glad your new job is making life a bit easier for you. I am all for easier option right now

hula wow ! i think the last time i looked at your lovely dd she was just about to start school! she certainly is well travelled!

gosh hula doesnt your dd look like you!

Don't underestimate the effect going for the "easier" option will have on your life. I have given up teaching in "sink" schools as I was giving up to much of myself and my family in an attempt to save other kids. I now teach in an "easy" successful secondary and am amazed at how different the job is and how different my life is.

Roisin I agree how cute were those pictures of hula dd in her first school uniform.

I can't do it. Two deleted posts in one day would be unthinkable.

Roisin. Anyway, I won;t be going anywhere. I like the Mn distractions every so often I don;t think my laptop would allow Mn not to appear on screen after so many years, lol!

Twinset - TBh the main stresses have been the emotional stuff ecause of thehormone treatment after my ops and the Clomid side effects, and the lack of success. Just a prison life doesn't really provide the right environment when feeling so low. But the fog is lifting; last Clomid month this month so feel like the numbness from the hormones is finally lifted a bit.

I've posted on these threads a bit already, particularly at the beginning. To refresh my credentials I am 18 monthish Mner, regular name-changer for privacy reason so expect no one to know me.... My view was it did all seem a bit shit on those left out, I could understand their hurt and the moldies hadn't really come up with anything much to elicit sympathy for their position...

Soo, I've naturally been following and I do want to say, though I'm sure it won't be appreciated ..

expat, I've seen your name but never realy attributed a "personality" to you, iyswim. However tonight I'm sorry to say you are coming across quite badly. I'm sure you'll think me patronising, and I'm sorry it's not meant that way, but you really seem to be looking for a fight.

If you are then ok, we all know where we stand and will watch out for your metaphorical/virtual firearms but if you've maybe just got shit going on in your life (as you've posted) and are taking those stresses out on others then you might like to think about whether continuing an internet ruck with strangers will actually make you feel any better about other things tomorrow or the next day.

Any minute now, PWonk, armed MI6 agents are gonna start crashing through your windows á la Spooks for mentioning her.

Look at what I have dug out from the Golden Moldie age! Wonderful!

and I always like looking at Hula's gorgeous photos of her beautiful dd

Twinset - me nether. But I have been helping voluntary in DD's school 1 day a week since last Easter and 3 days since September. Gave me a lot of confidence back. So applied for a L3 part time TA job in a local state pinfant school, got an interview and got the jo. I actually handed my notice in at the prison just the day before I got the interview invitation. So handed notice in and 4 days later had a new job I have loved being in class with the little ones so fingers crossed this works out - will be Y1 children and really looking forward to it.

err no?

Oh I'm sure I can come up with something...

You going back to schools is a choice I didn't think I would see you make Hula, I hope it will be a happy move for you. I am sorry things have been hard for you, education in any setting can be tough. I agree with expat that you are one of the lovelies on mumsnet, I have never seen you be anything but supportive to anyone on here.

Expat I am so sorry to hear the news about your BIL, if anyone deserves a break it is you.

I hope we do see you dropping in from time to time, I often need people like you to shake some sense into me and stop my endless navel gazing.
