I wonder if there is a job that fits my needs somewhere... My remit: A job where I can use my intelligence (the stuff I was born with AND the stuff I learned a long the way) Where I can manage my own workload yet still be part of a team that I see during… Continue reading Ghost

Twonk! CAKE! Youuuuu jammy mollusc...
Musings from a primary school teacher.
Who also happens to be a functioning addict, manic depressive oddball with a whimsical grasp on reality.
Will that do as an introduction?
The issue
So I see what the issue is when women get upset about not getting attention from their man when they're out. Issue no.1: when a woman is single, friends will give them attention. Men and women, but mostly men. Issue no.2: when people live together they enjoy some one else's company on the odd occasion… Continue reading The issue
You make me
You have turned me into this.I used to be independent. Still a ball of anxiety and emotions. And strength and attitude.Now. Now I can't be bothered. With people. With work. With anything.Is it you?I remember feeling just as lost before in my life. What helped? Time. Time on my own to sort myself out. Being… Continue reading You make me
A moment of humanity
The school I'm currently working in (which I love by the way), is right on a main road. I mean right on it. The playground barriers are 2 foot from trucks and cars going past at a steady 40 even though it's a highlighted 20 limit during school hours. Shouldn't complain, the village is probably… Continue reading A moment of humanity

Teaching to the test
When do we decide children need to learn something to prove they can do it? Not at primary. I agree on that one. That's one of the main reasons I prefer Scotland. A curriculum that allows freedom. But I keep the freedom to my teaching, rather than pass it on to the children. You know… Continue reading Teaching to the test
Banter
Have you ever wondered why some people moan that you don't have banter? I appear to have found a reason. Some people were never taught how to constructively criticise or explain things to others. They live in a world where people either get things or they don't, a fixed mindset that anybody who works with… Continue reading Banter
It’s not always black and white
I used to be that person; the one who didn't want to know couples who argued all the time. After growing up with a mum who insisted that, no matter what her bf put her through, she was gonna continue to throw herself into the path of it. Maybe I was a bit biased in… Continue reading It’s not always black and white
Christmas has changed.
It's Xmas Eve, im in getting quietly stoned with my other half. We are also having wine. I've turned down the chance to go out for drinks. So have half my friends it seems. That's probably why I'm so ok with not being out. I'm not missing out on anything. I know where my close… Continue reading Christmas has changed.
Dealing with it like an adult.
My dad is amazing. He has helped me realise a really important part of myself that I didn't realise was something I could change: how I respond to things. Here's the thing, if someone does something that invokes a negative feeling in me, I make it known. I'm aware of this and usually I am… Continue reading Dealing with it like an adult.
