Toxicpixies various motley assortment.

It's a new year's resolution of mine; I am determined to improve my photography and post some pics (need the practise for next year's comp ).

Just pop some photo's up anyway, Gareth !
We can soon help you knock them 'into shape' if we can see what you're not satisfied with.  

Bit hypocritical of me, as I only take quick 'snaps' of the masters before I send them off to Leon, to check whether the figures are OK by him.
I just hand hold those shots...So they're never super special.

Cheers - Phil

Two weeks off now: woo hoo!

And sleep...

I don't mark during holidays.

I do all my work during the week and don't mark at weekends either.

I might point out I leave my house around 5:30 am everyday

As for lesson planning, I'm part of the school's leadership team and only teach a 50% timetable.  Coupled with that, I'm a specialist SEN teacher (additional needs) so a good chunk of my time is working with kids / teachers / parents to overcome difficulties.

LOVE my job!

That's remarkably well organised, you must be slacking somewhere! 5:30am start? That must be it...

I don't sleep much!

The ONLY thing Thatcher and I agree on; 4 hours just about does it.  More is a lie in

I wish... Although a toddling toddler and a leaky dog mean surprisingly little sleep is found in this household...

I think it's called domestic bliss; read it somewhere!

I think that might be what they these days call the effects of fatigue poisons and endorphins fuelled by coffee and panic!

Don't drink coffee but that's just about the feeling

Don't let the toddler or the dog drink coffee - simples!

Can you imagine a toddler on coffee

I've seen Outnumbered, no way is either one getting caffeinated

It would take away my precious, precious coffee for a start

My wife has a similar attachment to the brown bean; she is undoubtedly addicted

You make it sound like the really expensive stuff that comes out of an elephant's bum....

Kopi luwak, it's actually a civet's bum.  My wife's had that and she says it's worth the money.   £8 a cup but, with what I spend on lead, who am I to argue 

[toxicpixie]

I wish! I've drunk many kinds of coffees of strange stripes, but tbh I just like a good, fresh roast with a good bit of grunt. I'd use Pact but Lidl's is actually very good and about a quarter the price

The elephants bum coffee was nice, and Blue Mountain as well, but yeah. The incremental difference isn't worth the exponential price jump

Don't drink coffee

Have you tried therapy?

[getagrip]

Have you tried therapy?

Yes and they said provided I didn't obsess over silly things like apostrophes I'd probably be okay

[FierceKitty]

NHS, was it?
