I leave at 7.50am...just enough time to have a shower, do my hair and make up. Oh yeah and shout at boy Q to get his ass into gear.

I don't get anything to eat till 11am for a biscuit if there's any.

I am looking forward to it funnily enough.

On Tuesday?

They're keen your way aren't they?

My bestie is a primary school teacher and is whinging about going back on Thursday after her 6 weeks off have really "flown by"". **drums fingers and growls**

My two aren't back for another week.

That's good at least we get a bank holiday before we return. Last year we started on the Monday...so it doesn't seem so bad this time.

6 weeks has really flown by...I agree with her.

My boy starts Thursday and my girl Friday....what a stupid day to start school...harumph!!

All packed lunches. Packed lunches in brown paper bags are dropped for the kids that parents can't afford.

Leftovers go to staff room....I've even seen the head with a brown bag.

we've only got 2 years cos we're the lower school...but you're looking at feeding around 200 kids who come in for lunch (hot or cold dinners) plus staff....then around 150 for hot food/cold at break as well.

so it's all systems go!!

Mine are going into Years 9 and 10.

Apparently they didn't have 2 inset days at the end of last year so have to take them at the beginning of this. So tomorrow is bank holiday, Tuesday and Wednesday are delayed inset days. The school have Year 7 and the sixth form back earlier so they are in Thursday. It's "pointless" opening the school for the rest for just the one day so all back next Monday.

Seems to me best to have them in on Friday to sort out timetable issues (there always are some) and registration etc then kick off properly on Monday.

But what do I know?
