Told you!

You may remember my recent blip of the last remaining spoon in our staff room kitchen.

This morning I came in to find that someone had padlocked a scoop-cum-spoon to the sink, together with a sign on the cupboard addressed to the ‘Phantom Spoon Purloiner’. The newly-formed ‘A Block Staff Room Cutlery Committee (Spoons Sub-group)’ left the culprit(s) in no doubt that the only way they’d be able to take this spoon was by removing the entire sink.

I rest my case!



Unfortunately, my amusement was short-lived, as I got an email from the agency to ask if I’d be interested in a role as a school receptionist. Fifteen years of study, training and experience - including being deemed ‘outstanding’ three times by OFSTED - and an apparent desperate shortage of science teachers and that’s what I get offered? It absolutely destroyed me, I had a complete breakdown and spent all day crying. Hopefully my hayfever story worked.
