Hi, I am barely functioning! Started new school full time in September after several years part time. I also have 3 dd's to look after and am more than ready for half term, in fact feel so totally shattered have just opened some naughty school night wine Wine.
I have one more day with children as thankfully (or maybe not having just read the agenda) have inset on Friday!!

Two more days here. I'm dead on my feet.

Doomhutch · 18/10/2017 19:40

I don't know what it was about this term, but me too! Although at least I've had my observation now.

AdultHumanFemale · 18/10/2017 19:41

We're all hanging too, the staffroom is full of the walking wounded.

whitepearl17 · 18/10/2017 19:43

Aww hope it went well Doomhutch!

I’m in Wales and we have another week to go.

EveningShadows · 18/10/2017 19:44

Yep - most of my teaching friends are on their knees. I've finished for half term now (work p/t) but feel dreadful Sad

leccybill · 18/10/2017 19:45

Utterly dead here. Most manic start back every known.

I'm also in a new school, just finding my way around and learning 200 names of kids I teach every week took it out of me! Then of course the many, many, many initiaves and nonsense I have to follow (it's an academy...). Pass me the wine!

whitepearl17 · 18/10/2017 19:47

Of course leccybill! Cheers! Wine
Crikey banana that's one heck of a long half term Sad

The kids are knackered as well. All the friendship problems are coming out to play!

Really well, thanks! They're supportive in my school, but it's still nice to realx until after Christmas!

whitepearl17 · 18/10/2017 19:49

Oh yes, especially in my needy year 7 classes, my year 11's are just asleep in class!!

innerfoundpeas · 18/10/2017 19:56

oh yes - feel pain! They are shattered. Dare I mention that next half term is 8 WEEKS long?!! or is that just us... I am utterly exhausted!

innerfoundpeas · 18/10/2017 19:58

Oh yes - do not mention football at breaktime/glue (in a primary so really mean the sticking stuff!) he said/she said wearing sooooo thin

innerfoundpeas · 18/10/2017 19:59

Oh bananas that is awful! but hey, shorter next half? (desp clutching at straws)

BlessYourCottonSocks · 18/10/2017 21:14

Yep. Read my day from hell post! I am so tired I am terrified I will not make it through the next two days without breaking. This is me....

whitepearl17 · 18/10/2017 21:20

Bless I've come so close to that this week!!!

OP posts:
BlessYourCottonSocks · 18/10/2017 21:24

pearl I was scarily close today!

There was a fraction of a second where my brain whispered 'Just say it! And walk out'...

I am that tired :(

Bananasandchocolatecustard · 18/10/2017 21:25

Commiserations are appreciated. Hope you all have restful half terms.

When do you break up for Christmas ? We finish on the 22nd!

EveningShadows · 18/10/2017 21:40

22nd?? Bloody hell, that's late!

We finish on the 19th.

leccybill · 18/10/2017 21:41

Yep, 22nd here. If I make it!

Unode50 · 18/10/2017 21:43

I'm in Scotland so thankfully my half term break is this week. Definitely felt ridiculously tired on Friday. Already dreading going back on Monday. We finish for Christmas on the 21st.

BlessYourCottonSocks · 18/10/2017 22:21

I can't even bear to look:(

But you've stressed me now leccy and I'm forced to...We finish on 19th apparently - but we're back on 2rd? That's not do-able for me.

mineofuselessinformation · 18/10/2017 22:29

A day more of teaching... (Six lessons so an after school session!)
And then delivering training on Friday.
Will have to catch up on marking over the holidays will need to take a bloody wheelbarrow in with me to transport all of the books.
I'm knackered. Beyond tired. Never had such a crazy-busy half term.
Going through UPS1 to UPS2 (or trying to!), so not feeling hopeful about that, never mind all of the rest of it....

Piggywaspushed · 19/10/2017 19:03

I'm so tired I have to restrain myself form saying ' will you just shut the fuck up?' to every annoying child and teacher
