Lets all Chat

I'd agree to that, especially if the 2 days are monday and Tuesday, that way I actually only have to work half a day. Monday I am at the swimming pool all day and tuesday morning is PPA time

i have my ppa on a tues now.

Mine has switched from wednesday. I'm hoping tuesday turns out to be a better day to have it. It must be if that is when the all the best teachers are being moved too.

i agree!!

Right I'll catch you in an hour. I gotta go to Asda before I'm turned into cat food. Wish Imola wasn't so fussy, would be much easier to nip to Tesco or Somerfield!

typical, just like children, speak to you later.

I'm back!!!

His fussiness is only a recent thing. In the past he would eat anything but over the summer if it hasn't been Asda food he won't eat it. Senna has been loving it because it means she actually gets to eat for a change.

sorry to ask but whats 'ppa'???

Planning, preperation and assessment time. Teachers get a set number of hours a week out of the class to do this now.

Oh ok. Thats a good idea, does that mean you have less to do in your own time or does it not really make much difference???

Hi fran will lie in tomorrow but are out saturday night.

The amount of work I bring home seems about the same to me, but I'm sure PPA makes a difference for others.

sounds you have had a good start to the weekend Tots

I agree Sarah, we'll be having a lie in tomorrow to, wheres the ghostie on tomorrow night???

Is anyone else having problems with the forum tonight or is it just me. seems really sluggish?????

hi fran hope you are allright ive noticed its very slow on the forum tonight

Hey shamrock your cats sound very formula 1 themed .

where is everyone tonite? it seems very quiet on here tonite

are you all stillcoming 2moz and what time?

They are!! Its because I'm a complete Formula 1 nut. As well as aptly named cats, I have F1 themed tattoos and a huge collection of F1 memorabillia. My name on here came about through an F1 link too.

I dont know if i'm coming yet maz, its very quiet here tonight. Mind you i just had some connection problems.

We used to really be into the F1 when nigel mansell was in his heyday, but then it got same-ish, its getting good again now with lewis hamilton

Oh no no no Shel. They are not the 2 drivers I wanted to here you supporting. I don't care what anyone says, there is no way I will every support Hamilliton.

I'm for Kubica all the way!! Someone with natural talent at last!!

We support them because they're british and so are we. But kubica is good too

I'd rather support true talent than an over paid british lapdog.
He's only where he is because he has been trained and on the pay role of that team since he was about 8. If you've worked with someone that long you don't need talent to win, you just know how the system works and can play it.

Ok F1 rant over.

Mmmmmm I have an idea who to use my voodoo candle on now

I'm not into formula one enough for it to bother me.
You must be well into it. Have you ever been and watched a race for real?

Yes I've been to the British Grand Prix twice. Haven't been able to go since I started teaching though as its not worth going for the day and we don't finish for the hols until after the race has happened.

A weekend at Silverstone is money well spent. I won't be wasting money on spending the weekend at Donnington thats for sure.

We took the kids to donington plenty of times to watch various racing, and its always good. But it really isnt upto formula 1 standards,and i cant imagine how they'll do it.
We used to go to mallory quite often too,

I can often be found camped out at Mallory, especially if there is no Grand prix on tv and I have loads of marking to do. Really nice to do your marking sat on the bank at Gerrards watching the racing.

I got such a funny tale about one time at mallory lol ...involving a jeep, me ,5 kids ,a pushchair and an icecream van
.......its very funny. We've not been for a couple of years though
