loobylou2 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 We had a lovely day yestreday. Took the dogs and the kids for a long walk in the forest and it started to snow! Looked really pretty as it came down through the trees and started to lie around us. Felt really Christmassy even though it was Easter!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted March 29, 2008 Had a fab night last night Such a long time since I ventured out into pubs on a Friday night...blimey, I was worried I wouldn't make the loo in time, or find a seat We then went to a lovely Italian restaurant, and DH was even proposed to by a very nice lady, bent down on one knee...and nope, twas not me He got a standing ovation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pookie170 Report post Posted March 29, 2008 Here's a good thing that happened for me- I got my taekwondo suit!!! Me and Hong Kong Phooey, we're like THAT, I tell you....... ' By day, a mild-mannered lecturer.......' And to be honest, by night, a knackered mum on sofa, but I can dream, can't I? Tis good fun, this martial arts malarkey, but don't worry, I'm only a white belt....and judging by the mess I made of class the other night, I shall remain that way for some time to come!!! Heheh! There's something rather humbling about being lined up with a bunch of 5 year olds that could literally beat the belt off you in a sparring match.....as one of the munchkins said, when I got the pattern wrong AGAIN, 'Dont worry, you'll get there!!' She patted my hand as she said it too!!! Wot larks!! Mel, Baggy, glad you had a great meal, these things make such a difference. SG, glad the weddings all paid up, thats fab!!

Mumble Report post Posted April 2, 2008 I survived the dentist!!! :clap: Although didn't quite engage brain in time when she said "shall we give them a little clean now?" and brought out the whirry thingy and the sucky thingy .... Oh, and I got told off. Apparently Oreos are not a food group Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pookie170 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 I hate the sucky thingy....quite apart from the vile sensation, i find it rather degrading having my spit sooked away(accompanied by the most expressive noise!) by a bright eyed,fresh faced young thing! And WHY must they ask you questions when your mouth is crammed full of equipment and foamy things and the dentists own fingers???!!!?? Anyway.... Well done mumble! My sons teacher called yesterday regarding the steering group for his schools amalgamation with another local unit....and started telling me how proud she was of Caghal. Apparently, as part of their outdoor ed, they went downhill mountainbiking. Well, it started to hail and the wind was blowing strongly as they went up a hill, having to get off and push.Cal was scared his bike would blow away so kept the brakes on as he pushed, screaming constantly as the noise of the wind was really getting to him. And when they eventually crested he hill, they had to go back down t'other side on the bike.... Cal was terrified, apparently, and dallied at the top for quite some time,desperate to go down but lacking the courage.....However, in a sudden burst of bravado, he jumped on his bike and flung himself down the hill, yelling like a barbarian the whole way!! Waytogo, kid!!! I wudda bin too chicken!!!! Very proud of him though,as trying new things is very difficult for him. Yaaay, Cal!!!! Esther x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Apparently Oreos are not a food group Really?! Are they not?? I thought they were! Food Groups = The Jam The Spice girls Limp Biscuit Lemon Jelly Hot Chip Korn Black Eyed Peas Marmalade Trex (cheat - you left the full-stop out!) Hot Chocolate Cream Flying Burrito Brothers.... see what i did- they're all foods and their all groups! If you bend the rules a bit you can come up with stuff like 'Iggy Popsicle' and 'The Peach Boys' and that famous singer/songwriter duo John Lemon and Pork McCarpney.... Go on - knock yourselves out! My positive: It was sunny today and me and Ben had a lovely cycle ride into town and it was good. Yep. And it's Friday so we will have curry and i will drink some Guinness with it and it will be good. Yep. Ben's positive - he got two 'man of the matches' in his Match Attax Oh my other positive... TODAY - I didn't walk into the kitchen and tread on a dead slow-worm the cat had brought in and find myself flat on my back with a mocassin covered in skink giblets... guess what happened to me yesterday?

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Still enjoying school. Have been asked to go in after the 'spring holiday'. This means that I'm likely to get bored for the next 2 weeks with not much to do. Should perhaps try and get myself fitter as Mumble kindly has a thing on her profile that reminds me I'm running out of time. Presently providing consistant cover for a support assistant who works with a class of 3 students. They are a higher ability group and spend sometime up at the local mainstream. One day I even managed to end up with a 1 to 1 student : staff ratio. Is a group I get on well with too. Has been a bit boring at times though as have had the joy of invigulating mock exams. Still had a good party on Friday, that me, one of my students, and a support assistant from a different class threw for the two classes teachers. One was 30 and the other 50. Hence lots of cakes, crisps, etc... I also took in a bottle of helium and we put up a few balloons (16 to be precise). Also found out one of the non-aural students enjoys investigating things. He tried to balance the 'lift' of a helium balloon with various objects. I think he'd have managed if we let him use water. The only problem with been back is I get home exhausted but 99% of the time after I've had a good day. Sometimes stay to one of the after school clubs for fun too. On Friday had a nice night out with some of the staff from the school (though I found some of the bars a little loud for my taste, I couldn't properly hear someone who was sitting next to the person next to me). Dad also kindly picked me up. There are more 'permanent' positions (I.E. might also be temporary contracts but I'm on supply) coming up after Easter and various people have been encouraging me to apply. Presently think I'll take the next year to decide on best course for me. Need to work out primary or secondary first still. Trying to arrange a meetup with another friend this week. That's one of the things I'll talk to her about as I'd appreciate her opinion. Sorry hadn't popped in for a while. I'm still around though. I hope everyone is doing well. Hopefully I'll start getting used to working again soon. I'd say this is harder than my teacher training in some ways (as requires more physical fitness) but it is more rewarding. Also might be able to do a placement at the school if I could find a training scheme that would let me. See you all around, David. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
