Just like to announce that heir number 3 is one year old today.
He's currently bopping around the house wrecking all his new presents
with his new toy hammer (courtesy of his maternal Grandmother, called
Nan round these parts). He's discovered the toy telly and the tune is
quite nice (for the moment).
Please feel free to cut yourself a piece of caKE.

I've also just become an Uncle too. Youngest sibling, Richard, has just

Now I can really rub it in. I'll teach him to call me for becoming a dad
again at 38, heheheheheheheheheh!

That must be who the party was for that I just got back from - no
wonder I couldn't find the cake there, it was all in here!

Happy Birthday Michael, and thanks for the cake.

BTW any one else ever tried strawberries with pesto dip? They go
*really* well together.

Strawberries with sugar and basil leaves, yes. Strawberries with pesto
dip sounds revolting, but will try it. How was the pesto dip prepared?

My number 1 cherub is 13 next week........and she wants gerbils! Our pet shop
doesn't have any and I bet Frankie hasn't any left after that barbeque! Why
couldn't she be like most adolescents and want make up or body piercing or
something!

Thanks Penny, but will for now stick to basil leaves, black pepper,
sugar and clotted cream with crushed amaretti biscuits.

Strawberries and balsamic vinegar...yummy.

Happy birthday Son of Scaramouche.

This is very odd, I bet that if we did a survey of dates of birth of
members of staffroom, I bet they would almost all (except for NQT) fall
between 1945- 1955 ish. Am I right, or am I right???

Why? I usually enjoy it these days (it's just the other 364...
Christmas (note 't') Yuk!).

This year, a Wednesday IIRC, my car was in need of a new clutch so I
decided to spend the day in Maidstone (I don't/didn't work
Wednesdays). Treated myself to a couple of bookshops then phoned the
garage who said they couldn't get the parts, clutch arm was broke,
clutch was burnt out blah, blah. I thought, ok, I could stand in this
phone box and cry, or I could enjoy the rest of the day. Phoned *my*
school to arrange for one of the staff to collect my daughter when
she got her own from *their* school and the head, who took the
message, said how was I going to get home? She offered to come and
collect me at 4.30! (public transport between the 2 places only
available Tuesday & Saturday).

I then treated myself to a wonderful lunch in a wine bar/blues/jazz
club place before indulging my stationery/art materials fetish in
East Kent Graphics. Then a couple more bookshops before my rendezvous
with the head.

Climbed carefully into her car in order to avoid standing on the huge
chocolate birthday cake which the staff had bought for me!

I know lots - comes of having a silly birthday I expect.

My father and my late husband were both born on Christmas day (no,
not *quite* the same year), don't know any more of them though SFAIK.

I agree about Christmas, but as for the birthday itself, I just find
it difficult to admit the inevitable passage of time. Funny though, I
thought that I would be really pissed off about being 40 this year,
but 'twas nowhere near as bad in that respect as my thirtieth!
Perhaps it's the challenge- after all life is (was) said to begin at
40? So far, so good, it's been a pretty good year to date.

Erm, that's Paul you're quoting there - he *wasn't* born on April
1st.

I agree about Anne McCaffrey though, have you read the 'Landing'
trilogy?

All three union reps at my college (including me)
were born on 2nd March. Never found out how the
principal found it negotiating with 3 Piscies at
once.

Has someone round here been sniffing Tippex as well as supping Banda
fluid?
What kind of a staffroom is this?

I have often thought that if I had been able to have children, and one
had been born in the first few days of September, that I would have lied
like hell when registering the birth, and put the actual day a week
earlier.

Now I have never seen myself as stubborn. Strong willed and determined
yes, but stubborn - never :-}

Two of my friends - and Tom Cruise - share my birthday! Anyone else for July
3rd? Another three have their birthdays on March 2nd. My star sign is Cancer
which I gather is supposed to be ideal for teachers, so caring and good
natured:-) so I don't know what all you Aries lot are doing here!

Oh well...try again. My last couple of postings to the staffroom seem to
have fallen into a black hole!
I'm 6th April 1954 so I fit the theory. One of my daughters (the arty one)
is 3rd July. I hope she doesn't end up teaching!

Cherub 1 was born towards the end of August, her first day at secondary
school was actually her 11th birthday ( Leicestershire!) I wish she'd been born
early in September instead, I think she'd cope better if she was in the year
below but then it all depends on the child. When I see her classmates already
hanging around town at night - aged 13 - I'm glad she's a late developer! I
suspect I'm an old fashioned parent! Old fashioned teacher too - I never did
stop teaching grammar or phonics!( Is that English? :-) )

Ah, bless him. Number 3 heir, Michael performed a sterling piece of work
today. He managed, and I haven't quite worked out how yet, to insert a
CD into Lucie's PC. Unfortumately, he bypassed the loading tray and it
went inside the CD drive. Have finally managed to dismatle and
reassemble the CD drive. But I don't think it is supposed to mimic my
old B reg Fiesta. Ah well, it was only a new CD drive. And the CD was
the missing Chris Rea one I found the other week. Luckily Steel River is
all right, but as for the rest of the tracks . . . Looks like its time
to go scouring car boot sales in the hope of finding a replacement.

I'm not playing in u.e.t any more. They play rough and I lost me temper, so I
better not go there again 'cos I'll only make a monkey out of mesen (again).

A tidy one.

Anyone seen my lesson plans?

BTW I'm a stationery fetishist too.
I've got a new four hole binder for
when I find my lesson plans.

I've been keeping my in a one hole binder. The hole is 12inches across
and someone keeps dropping teabags in it. Please stop. It was bad enough
I had to wrestle with the bin men to get them back last week.

Nah, you're no monkey. Is no nice in there. One of my favourite words at
present is tossers, u.e.t. seems to be populated with them. I don't
mean any of us lot.
