But…… the process was very different to previous inspections and felt more collaborative AND no more Sunday Scaries and Mondays jumping whenever the phone rings for a while! I’ve celebrated with a 17 mile run and walkies with our new rescue dog!

A friend and I set up a ladies group called WRECERS which stands for ‘walk run eat cake-era’ we meet twice a week to do 3-4 miles and on the first Monday of each month we share cake after our run! If you are anywhere near Kettering you’d be welcome to join us!

I’m intrigued by The Organised mom method! I’m more of a ‘if it doesn’t get done then I’m sure we’ll survive’ method!

Can’t understand this mentality- we’ve offered ppa at home for years, accommodate flexible working for those returning from may leave and, before I became acting head, I was working a compressed week which was massively beneficial for my own circumstances.

Trouble is I’m not at all organised for Christmas, now panicking that I still haven’t got a tree and probably have missed a really important person or present off my frantic online shopping frenzy yesterday! Thank goodness we are visiting my mum for the big day! Now off to watch a rugby
