Brinkly

Must be half term.

We have had no official word from Ofsted! Some rumours, but nothing firm!

I've been told this morning should I be in as I'm asthmatic! lol 

Re work, yeah the amount I've been sending home has steadily increased of late! At least I don't have to mark it though! Light at the end of the tunnel! 

By day 3, the reality of home schooling is becoming apparent. Eldest daughter lying on the floor, youngest running around the street trying to hit her friends with pool noodles! 

As suspected then!

BTW friend is now self-isolating as one of the children has reported in with a temperature.

I can confirm that, Caller.

was it me Or Miss LMS

Agreed!

Ourobus - the NHS staff are simply amazing and the crap you put up with simply isn't fair. I really can't thank you all enough. Stay safe and keep well. Kind regards.

Cheers guys.  The local priest came to bless our place of work yesterday.  That brought some mixed emotions.  Given the circumstances, some felt it more like we were being read the last rites and got very upset.  But we carry on and with God's blessings, we'll come out the other side.  Each week that goes by is one week closer to getting on top of it.

I heard the phrase something like "There is and end to this..." this morning. I believe it is the title of a book about very tough events to be dealt with and the author was talking on Radio 2 to Kate Botley and Jason Mohammed at about 8 this morning. She was lovely and calm and measured. Quite inspirational. Stay safe you all.

The dog ate my marking sir!

The dog has eaten my subject leader action plan! 

Is this something new Nick?

but I ain't seen anything like him in any amusement hall

Then he should get on his bicycle and go off and find employment elsewhere.

You got to hold on to what you got Brinkers

I will leave my foot where it is then......keep going old chap !

Hmmm, so did I. They do look very good.

Never even heard of that which you have linked to.

D'oh!

Feel free to mention this on ANTB Nick.😉

And MCL if you wish.

Already had a look but nothing I need - so far!

Just saying, your stipulation on Paypal f&f contravenes classified rules .....

I had it three weeks ago and it was really like a bad/very bad cold although I was tired at times and lost my appetite to some extent, plus few occasional headaches.  Senses of smell and taste were unaffected.. If it goes like that the worst should be over in no more than a week or so and hopefully you won't get the continuous nausea which hit me as everything else improved.

There's a saying, 'life's a bitch and then you die'.

Craap timing for you, Nick, I really do sympathise. I could always drop that 'small amount of reading material' round on your doorstep in a day or so?

Sorry to hear the Nick, will miss seeing you at Taunton, hope it doesn't affect you that much and your are back on top form soon!

Sellotape across the door at head height (adult or child you choose). 

Did you succeed? 

I spent most of the day involving various children in 'pranks' on various members of staff... chairs were moved, a vacuum cleaner hidden and ontop of that, I did manage to teach 5 high-quality lessons... 

That's brilliant! When I used to do a paper round over the summer holidays (many years ago now!) there was a man in Tavistock who had three cannons on his front drive! Just as good as a moat really!

Whats wrong with a Big Stick?

Well a sharpened big stick might be useful..

Have you been in the wrong aisle at Blockbusters again?

lol no latest apprentice quote!

...and there's me thinking he's found an interesting new firm of female builders!! ;-)

Well during circle time when I was class-sitting! I was very worried at one point!

Perhaps you should be worried that the mother isn't teaching her child the correct vocabulary for 'cot'...

I thought it was Boris you were talking about. Just a pity she didn't keep him in it a bit longer.

Even better - Bond, strapped to a table and about to be cut in half with a laser, 'you expect me to talk?'. Goldfinger 'no Mr Bond I expect you to die'.

Yeah that was a good one!

What have you been watching this time?!

I found a wonderful book at Mum and Dad's full of Victorian Army tactics! Brilliant!

What line do they work on, then? Sounds like it would be safer to travel via an alternative route!

Great Film, seen it twice already!!

The naughty trucks laughed to see such fun.

And the dishwasher chewed up the spoon...

haha! Pop goes the diesel!
