Went to work and printed LOADS of leaflets for "Hawkins Bazaar"
90 different addresses so lots of stop/start printing printing today.
Enjoyed a lovely hot bath.

got my head around surds
drank Dr. Peppers (what's the worst that can happen)

I love the Hawkins Bazaar catalogue


What's a surd?????


I cycled 6 miles to a local garden centre - bought a few Christmas presents - cycled home

Tis an irrational number involving a square root such as 1/3 or pie squared etc.,   *** pretends to sound very knowledgeable***

I knew that - I was only making poite conversation


Seriously - that sounds complicated - what are you learning this for Pengy?

I'm hoping to go back into teaching having had 9 nearly 10 years out so I thought I'd update my skills hence going back to college to do GCSE's one of which is maths.  I got grade C last time I did O level so I thought I'd try higher tier GCSE.  Teacher is the worst one I've ever had in my life - I learn more on my own than in her lessons   I'm a primary school teacher btw.

Well, having three children who have gone through a state school system all I can say is that is is pretty normal for the student to have to teach themselves GCSE maths


Between the three of them we have had two terms with a decent teacher - one got a B in GCSE, the other a C, and the last one sits it this year

I really don't envy the kids today - they should have dispensed with the foundation level maths and kept intermediate and higher tier.  There is such a disparagey in the teaching between the two   I'm so stressed because I set impossibly high standards for myself.

I asked a question today and do you know what she said "Pengy if you can't work it out for yourself you are not an A/A* grade pupil so don't worry about it and concentrate on the easier questions"   How is that teaching me and helping me to achieve a goal?  I'd be even angrier if I was paying which a lot of my group are!

For yesterday...
Fed babybel scrambled egg for tea
took babybel to A&E with severe allergic reation.

I hope he's ok now

he is fine thankyou Pengy. Recovered very quickly thank gawd.

ate a toasted bagel

Made Breakfast

Had a shower

completed a past exam paper
glued a wooden cats ear back on

Ooooo Pengy, that's scary! I have some crystal animal ornaments and when I was cleaning my cat not so long ago one of the ears fell off  I had to buy some superglue and very carefully stick it back on without it looking as though it had been.

I'd have been much more scared of the past exam paper

Today I started work at 7.30 am
Worked through my lunch hour

You daft woman?

I reckon I must be

On Friday I'm gonna go in late(gonna sneak up to M&S's 1p sale first) and finish at noon
