The end is almost nigh! To distract us let's share our lovely new stationery.

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

I've been pretty good, Ivebeen downsized in office space and new bosses like a clean desk policy. But I have got some of those lovely pastel highlighters and there's a trip to Tiger looming. What bargains or not has everyone got?

I've got the diary sorted and I'm going to spend some time later colouring in my timetable to mark the individual classes. Pens sorted and I'll Google ecoffee cups. I think I'm done😁

I have a lovely matching Hello Kitty diary and water bottle, plus a shedload of new sharpies.

Dodo planner here and lots of post its from Tiger.
Can I ask whoever mentioned it about the window pens, how do you clean it off, does light still come through? (clueless)

Glass chalk comes off with a damp cloth.

Yes it's like writing on a whiteboard. Lots of light still comes through as you're only writing words not colouring in the panes iykwim.

My own dc have had lots of fun this summer drawing faces on each other from opposite sides of the same window. Some of them have been rude. I can guarantee it wipes off with a damp cloth and leaves no trace!

I write DS's spellings on the bathroom mirror with them!

Brilliant!

We are in 11 plus hell here so I might do the same with DS' Verbal Reasoning vocab!

Love the idea of chalk markers . I'd not thought of these.

Got asked to work during summer, so the perfect excuse for a new teacher planner .

I probably don't need new marking pens, however I may stray onto amazon for some new purple ones... I don't how they reward at the school I'm going into yet either, so some stickers might be on the cards too.

You need new marking pens Kinky .

I absolutely do. You are quite correct.

Oh no, I really don't need an ecoffee cup, but they are soooo lovely! [sits on hands]

I am too skint (and trying to declutter) to buy new stationery:(

My lovely teacher friend has bought me a bunch of post its on a board with a magnet and has given me a fancy desk planner she no longer needed. I also still have some nice notebooks from last year so enough pretty things not to get down

Part of me wants to throw all the random pens etc out, but I feel guilty about the waste... I really ought to finish reading Marie Kondo

Just bought two new Lammy pens, one green, one purple with matching coloured inks.

I love some of those planners! I had an A5 diary from The Works last year and got on really well with it, so I bought another one this year. I like the fact it's spiral bound so I can tuck eleventy million sheets of paper inside it! It's got a nice cover and was only a couple of quid. I'm still envious of your lovely planners though

Can we talk laptop bags? I can't afford anything really expensive but what do you all use as a school bag? My role is changing this year and I think I'll need to take my laptop to and from work more often but my old bag has had it.

I love the chalk pens. Off to add some to my Amazon basket

I just use a rucksack for my laptop. It's easier to carry. I do have a lovely electric blue leather satchel but I found it uncomfortable whilst walking to school.

I bought some new notebooks. I then had an excuse to throw my old ones away!

Whaaat?
Harry Potter ones in Primark?
Just when I felt my comfort purchasing was over...

😍
Yes now I do too!
