Life is going well... schools chuntering along, and we're slowly getting the house up to scratch. Double glazing goes in in 2-3 weeks, and various other places are in the process of being painted. Ben's been temporarily promoted at work, and I'm very proud of him. :) Only a week to go until half term, and I'm actually not feeling too drained. Months of metaphorically 'sitting' on my kids is starting to reap rewards in terms of behaviour, and I'm enjoying teaching my class quite a bit more, and am really liking my two 'naughty boy's now they're being lovely members of the class. Now all I need to do is help one chappy to stop having screaming-head-banging-tantrums half way through lessons and 5B will be a wonderful place to be!
