Morning folks - the actual budget meeting is today - my first one. And then back to school to pick up lots of little things that need boxing off and will help that list seems less overwhelming - and has it only been 3 days since term started!

Morning folks - rubbish night's sleep will make tougher than it needs to be. Enjoyed a bit of sunshine yesterday so hoping to do the same today. More budget prep this morning and then prepping govs report this afternoon. Hope everyone's Tuesday is straightforward

Morning folks - that alarm hurt. Inset to ease into Spring 2 . Some training on supporting staff with mental health and prep for my first budget presentation tomorrow. Definitely also going to leave not later than 4pm as part of the inset dividend to start the week off

Morning folks - Saturday of half term and a 'maintenance' day of nails, eyebrows and other such pampering activities. After a shoddy night's sleep it is much required and then maybe some fresh air to ward off another shoddy night's sleep!

Morning folks - the cats have perfected the art of a lie in! Today is a meet up with my deputy for coffee and cake, tidying and trying not to think about school yet.

Morning folks - thoroughly enjoyed Bridget yesterday - it's a tear-jerker. So today off to Whitby for 24 hrs early. We are going early but the OH and I can't agree on 'early' so here I am waiting....can't wait for some Vitamin Sea

Morning folks - day 1 of half term sees the dentist and then the cinema to see Bridget Jones which I am very much looking forward to. No school work, no thinking of school. Enjoy Monday

Morning folks - finally Friday. Got a tough day ahead to end the term but non school uniform will definitely help. Will spend some time reflecting on half a year done, plenty achieved, loads learnt! Enjoy 3.30 when it arrives!

Morning folks - absolutely drained at the moment but still 2 days to go. Line management with my deputies today - time to take stock of half a year done for all of us. And then a very cold swim to end the day

Morning folks - shattered after a 13 hour day and off for a trust meeting trying to avoid the armed siege in Sheffield city centre! Then back to school for some line management and the EEF in the building. Busy day, but the weekend approaches

Morning folks - long day ahead with parents evening tonight. 2 big meetings ahead before that, including budget work and completing work from yesterday. The week is slowly inching forward, just needs to warm up and brighten up - miserably dark yesterday

Morning folks - Monday of week 6. Not sure what is in the diary this week but know it's going to be full of challenges. Weather also sounds a bit brutal just to make it even more fun. One week to half term, so each day needs to count

Morning folks - been awake for a while, poor sleep over night fretting about the school residential and then one of our young people was missing from home for a short time. It's all good but a reminder that schools aren't just a 9-3 gig, we are so much more

Morning folks - Saturday cat alarm. So coffee, classic fm and a very slow start to the day. Apart from the usual weekend chores a very chill 48 hours ahead which is needed.

Morning folks - lots to think about today, especially with the news from Sheffield. Meeting SLT this morning to revisit our systems and processes around safety. And then trying to focus on the positives - education is tough at the moment

Morning folks - Wednesday, still January! Another day full of challenges which were mostly met. I have some deadlines to meet so trying to be really strict about meeting them this week, but being office bound is not that much fun

Morning folks - yesterday was an unexpectedly tricky day and those are the days that you mull over a lot. Also long as well so feeling it this morning. 2 long meetings today as well so hoping to tick some jobs off. All feels a bit like trudging through mud at the moment

Morning folks - week 4. Going to be a busy week, and now the cold has gone, a more productive one than last week. Got assembly to prepare, some meetings to follow up on and some work on the school improvement plan. Edging everything forward

Morning folks - reckon I'll be snoozing in a while again. Got some planning for assembly this week to do, but other than that a quiet day of food prep, maybe some reading and some crochet. Have a restful Sunday

Morning folks - so glad it's Saturday. The lurgy has almost got me. So today it will be fought off with rest, comfort food and football. This week has been tiring and tough so definitely needed

Morning folks - still not feeling great but it's Friday and we are nearly there. Just one very wild and windy day to survive before 3.30pm. Busy day of finishing things off in between a reading lesson and an admissions appeal. Stay safe out there today peeps

Morning folks - the cold continues to teeter. Busy day ahead, full of meetings but I have enjoyed getting into lessons this week, I miss teaching. And then definitely another prompt finish - some interrupted sleep is not helping
