Woohoo, Strops. Great news!

Today is our wedding anniversary, and unlike last year I actually remembered the date and rustled up a card. This year it was DH's turn to forget. Grin I expect it won't be long before the whole occasion passes by unnoticed and uncommemorated.Blush

Go Stropps! GrinFlowersWineCake

It's a teeny-weeny first school with mixed age classes. They need someone for the y1/y2 class, i.e. this is not SEN, it's being a class teacher. Which is not exactly what I've been doing this year, but hey. Will find out more on Wed. He wanted me there tomorrow, but I'm on my course.

Wow! Go Stropps Flowers

Rosebag · 11/05/2015 18:17

Breathe...breathe...stropps this is good news. Having SEN know how is so beneficial in a class teacher. Woo hoo Star

My diary seems relatively empty that weekend....that doesn't mean I'm free as I have a tendency to forget to write things in my diary. However I hope I am...! 'Specially if Cremo is coming over!!!

Monty I'm up for a mini MU..it looks like I'll have Thursday's free soon owing to imminent course cancellations.

Happy Anni CV Wine Cake

We have received a mail out from DS2's headteacher about last week's muck up incident. It is quite the most eloquent letter whilst at the same time saying politely that he and the school will take no shit from anyone and the consequences for the perpetrators will be severe. I don't know whether to applaud him or stand there wibbling....
Shock
Small proud mummy moment...DD is delighted that she has got a C in her food tech mock. It sounds a low grade, I know but she's only year 10 and what she overcomes even to sit down and read an exam paper is huge. She may well be bottom of the class in many things but I'm proud of her.

Stropperella · 11/05/2015 18:24

Big congrats to your dd, Rose.

Happy anniversary, CV.

MI, well done on the words.

I am gibbering my way through the lesson prep for tomorrow and trying to remember I am a) a qualified teacher and have been for many years and b) I can do cool, calm and collected when I have to. No, really. I can.

lalsy · 11/05/2015 18:27

Stropps, that is so exciting!

Rose, hurrah for dd. And re muck-up day - I think schools have to take a tough line, upsetting though it is for everyone. Each year remembers the one above and no-one wants precedents that encourage them at such an important and tense time....it is very upsetting for everyone when it goes wrong.

lalsy · 11/05/2015 18:28

You bloody can, Stropps. And a lot more.

QueenQueenie · 11/05/2015 18:32

Go Stropps - Know that we will all be cheering you on!

Rose, that's such great news for your dd - is she doing the real thing this summer? If she is and can get a C grade under her belt a year early it is a real confidence boost for the year 11 onslaught (ime Grin).

Liking all this talk of meet ups - especially N London ones obvs! I'm game for an omelette lunch as before ... a walk on the Heath... anything that involves seeing the lovely Crem....

Happy Anniversary CV - better way round that he forgot!

Stropps- fab news - and it would be great to start off with young ones who are so sweet. I help out at the local school each week and the kids always look so happy when I arrive - it' makes me feel great ( these are age 7/8 year olds).

Rose Grinat eloquent letter - although I'm glad it's not directed at me.

CV - happy anniversaryWine .

BTM - good luck to DD for tomorrow that's a heavy day. DS just has biology - which is plenty. good to cross one off though.

At a women of the year comedy gig thingy last night, ordered an aperol spritzer and the barman said 'would you mind if I used champagne instead of prosecco?' ... oh go on then. ... was delicious

Sadly the rest of June is out for me as we have busy weekends planned (at work) it's the end of the season, and we are awash with big finale shows and exhibitions. The meeting on the 12th is eating into my A/L. Bastards.
