Just some random scrapping

As schools go back I am still, three years in, relishing the fact I am no longer teaching. 

 

I miss the children - sometimes - but I miss precious little else. I certainly don't miss being piggy in the middle with parents wanting one thing, staff wanting another, governors wanting another and trying to balance all three whilst really only caring about what was right for the children I had promised to do the best for. It wasn't easy and much of the time it wasn't fun. So heck - I hope all my teacher friends enjoyed their half term and I am glad I am NOT going back.

 

Some random loveliness because I am at home and NOT at work then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And some new scrapping to share too (see you get to do more of that when you don't work too)

 

This one isn't new but I realised I hadn't posted it and she is my little girl and she deserves to be posted

 

 

 

 

 

And it wouldn't have been fair to have one and not the other now would it!

 

 

 

and finally - late because it is now past Halloween - but heck - this was our Hollywood and Vile -  sorry Hollywood and VINE - dinner with Mickey and Minnie last year at Disney Hollywood Studios. It was nice to see the characters dressed up for Halloween but it was our worst dining experience of the Disney part of the trip. It wasn't our worst dining experience of the entire trip - that record is still held by Enzo's Pizza in Lincoln which was an unmitigated disaster and didn't even have the redeeming feature of characters.!

 

I don't like this page as I don't like Daisy Duck. I have no idea why but I find her quite scary!

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• Not having to go back to school
• retirement and scrapping time.
• Poole

 

And these were just some great ideas I found on the internet -why are they not mandatory everywhere.

Easy way to see which cubicle is free - mind you in the ladies there are usually NONE free.

 

 

Much lighter weight cast and lets the air circulate

 

 

 

 

Parking bay lines continuing up the wall - everywhere should have then. So simple and yet so effective.

 

Flushing the toilet by pressing a pedal with your foot NOT using your hand appeals to me

 

 a disabled swing - such a good idea

 

 

 

this would stop everyone knocking everyone else's doors

 

 

 

This one I am not sure about - it would kind of take the fun away!

Of course, I love the photos and layouts of your babies best of all! They are so beautiful, and when they are snoozing, they look especially sweet.

I am fascinated by the idea photos. I am so with you--why aren't they mandatory EVERYWHERE!!
