Where has the time gone?

After losing all patience (the tiny bit I have) with trying to change my profile and add photos, I lost interest(attention span of a goldfish springs to mind) in this blogging lark.
But i am going to make myself perservere as i love the idea of keeping a record of the mundane as one day they may well be the big events!!!
Where to start, Summer term began with the news that Jen our Deputy has won the lottery-and not just £10, but a mighty £2.4 million-and she came back to work on the Wednesday:) Not really sure where it leaves us as a staff-she is adamant that she is not fininshing immediately-but with almost all of the others planning on a retirement in 2 years, it looks as if there will only be me and Sarah left!!!! But the best news is that she has bought Jo and myself tickets to see Madonna in July-and refuses to tell us the cost-I have had to learn to accept them gracefully-now this I can do!!!Maggie looks unlikely to be offered early retirement this summer as Marion is adamant she wants a musician-so is refusing to go into staff room if she is in there and is generally in a foul mood with us all. Ho hum-this mood usually sets in towards the end of term-can we go another 10 weeks without an almighty blow out?
As a group we were awarded a bursary of £3, 500 to resaerch and plan for the foundation phase, so , saddo that I am, I was very excited by this
The cyber crop on UKS was fabulous-Rob looked after the house and kids and me all day saturday and I completed 9 layouts!!!! Exhausted on Sunday and have not really done much more since then. We have plunged in and booked a hall for an all day crop on saturday 27th may, so hopefully the goodies we have ordered will arrrive before then.
