Thank goodness! Not only is it the weekend (almost) but only 2 more official working days before the holidays ~ hurrah! Last night was "open night", a chance for pupils and parents to come into school, mingle, admire work, meet new teachers and chat! A lovely evening but boy oh boy is the build up to it all a nightmare! Extra work on walls & neat as a pin classrooms ... that's just not me for a start :o)
Anyway that's over, it was lovely to meet some of the new children for Spetember ... tiny little ones aged 3 who were overcome with the excitement of the nursery! Things were torn off shelves with abandon. Cupboards opened, drums banged, keyboards poked, tadpoles admired. I cannot wait! But until the goodbyes have started ~ cards from children, hugs, year 6 (those diappearing to the local comprehensive and grammar schools) tears! A sad time of the year but exciting for everyone all the same!
Have a great Friday / weekend guys :o)

Randomly speaking
I have a pile of washing a foot high in the kitchen, but not enough to put on any one wash.
My brother rang for a chat last night, always a nice surprise.
This weekend is the Race for Life ~ it's not too late to sponsor me :o)
Simon manages 25 minutes in the bathroom each morning ~ this seems a lot!
I am going to have to cancel my weekend away because of work. Boo!
The marinated chilli-garlic-chicken we had for dinner last night was the nicest chicken we've had in ages.
I have £14.00 in 5p pieces in my piggy bank!
Next door's sweet peas are strangling my garden subversively i.e. under the fence!
We live 150 metres from the river Medway and boy-oh-boy because of wind direction and excessive heat (36 on my car thermometer in the sun yesterday) you can really smell it!
And finally, in case anyone's listening, I've had enough of the heat!

Admissions
Go on, put up your hand, everyone who's finding life and blogging a struggle! *stands with hand raised looking around expectantly* It's hard so hard right now ... and I'm not truly sure why! A bit down in the dumps when I should be bouncing about as I finish school a week tomorrow. For 5 weeks and 6 days.* That's not so bad and it must be a reason to be happy!! It's just that my lifeis boring and yes I remember saying stop the world a few weeks ago. Moan, moan, moan, moan! Sorry, gonna go to work and take the moaning there instead. I'll try hard to come back in a better humour tonight.
* Though why they didn't just make it 6 weeks I have no idea!!

Come feast with me this Friday!
Appetizer
Name one thing nice that you could do for someone else today. I could go to the supermarket tonight and cook dinner for my husband eventhough it is not my turn! :o)
Soup
When was the last time you were frightened by the weather? Last Tuesday during the residential visit, but more than anything I was unerved by what I thought the weather was going to do. After an evening of hell ... trying to get 36 children to go to sleep, just as the last handful dropped off a thunder storm began and at 12.40am it was right over head. As an enormous clap of thunder finished a child screamed "Mummy, mummy, mummy!" I was so shocked as I was just drifting off to sleep that I jumped out of bed. BUT (and here's the chicken bit), I then had to wake up the male classroom assistant in the room next to me so I had the guts to go and wander around the big old house and see what was going on and if anyone was awake! I know, such a baby!
Salad
What would you say is the most useful website or blog that you visit? Useful? I find the BBC weather in your area website really useful. Not the most enjoyable I visit but very useful all the same!
Main Course
Who was your favorite singer/group when you were a child? No question about this at all. One simple answer ~ the Osmonds! Loved them! All that good-looking American Mormon-ness in one place, all those great teeth, all those great collars, those fab flares and then there's the music!
*wanders off humming "One bad apple"*
Dessert
Do you have any rituals? If so, what are they? Not really rituals, but mornings follow a certain pattern. On work days I get up go down and put the kettle on, then come upstairs shower, cleanse my face and put my lenses and then go down and drink 2 mugs of tea in front of the PC before I do ANYTHING else!

Back!
I'm back! I had a week away at the beach, looking for minibeasts and rampaging at the castle.
And now I have exactly 2 weeks to sort out my bits and pieces before my move to my new job as the manager of the nursery. Did I tell you that yet? Where did the year go?
