Morning folks, expecting a busy day in work today but hoping it keeps dry so I can get out for a decent walk at lunchtime, it really helps focus and breaks the working day up. Thanks RC, I just try and tell it as it is. On a couple of occasions I have had cause to read back through the entire thread when I felt a little voice begin to whisper, quickly knock that on the head says I, once again focus.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-September 2017
Good morning lovelies,
The schools are back today in England............listening to the radio the roads are gridlocked, public transport's jam packed and delayed and I've just watched a series of teenagers troop past our window in their shiny new clean uniforms and looking as if they're going to the hangman's noose rather than going to enjoy their education..........and do you know I actually feel for them. I loathed senior school with a passion.It could be worse, I could be filing.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-September 2017
Good afternoon just another quick fly by-- Off to France later on today to run a marathon at the weekend.
Schools all back here today I do feel sorry for the kids, like Jackie I hated school. Arsie I was in Glasgow for a few days on my way to the hebrides--Thought Glasgow was great, Went to Willow Tree tearooms and the Modern Art place. Did all the tourist stuff. Still have very happy memories of our Dublin meet ups with JC,Molly Tabbers, Anne,RC and not forgetting lovely Mario.
Must do some last minute packing

Just stuffed a wodge of stodge into my gobbitch.
Another day, some pupils taught, some told off, many smiled at and some made me laugh. Dunno about other teachers, but often i just canna be arsed with the thought of teaching a class, but then, as soon as I am in front of a class, it's totally different - even when the lesson is going tits-up, being in the lesson feels much better than the lazy bones attitude I can have preceding it.
Speaking of laziness... I is going to slouch for a bit. Tired.comLast edited by RunningCourage; September 5, 2017, 11:54 AM.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-September 2017
Evening one and all. Great that you enjoy what you are doing Arsey. Didn't hate school but didn't love it either. Well done on your running Anon, did you take it up when you gave up Al? Can't imagine you would feel like running with a hangover but then again it beggars belief what I achieved with one, think I over compensated to hide what I was really like. Paid work over for week, need to catch up on stuff in the house, must make a list.

Cross posted with Molly. Enjoy your holiday and re-charge the batteries. When you are going through stuff it drains you emotionally so a break is just what you need. Where's Satz these days, hope her Mom is ok. Two of my friends have parents very poorly at the moment, it's so hard, no matter what age you are.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-September 2017
Very late check in.
Beware I'm going @ Molls........... [MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION] could have sworn you were going away on the 12th.........have a lovely time and get those batteries recharged, pet.
I adored infant and junior school. I'll never forget the day that Miss Rae told me my handwriting was so good I could use black ink instead of blue...........what an honour
Would you believe I'm looking for a swimming instructor.....I can swim.........when I say swim I mean I stay afloat and vaguely move around.It could be worse, I could be filing.

Re: Join the Army Against Alcohol-September 2017
It a very early morning,
Had a nightmare, shouted out in my sleep, partner had to wake me up, seen the strain on showbox and here I am. Don't know why I had this dream maybe because I looked at my old story post, ( I was going to update) me & my sister was in bed and my dad opened the door all I could here him saying, " was come here" to my sister, I was afraid, but I shouted out " leave her alone" there was a lot of guilt around me not helping my sister, but as other people have said I was just a child myself . Its OK I have learned a lot not to stare at the past & just look at it.
