I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

I have a feeling you and I are in the same time zone @Snowie . I just read your other thread quickly about the rain. It has been magnificent to have. I rearranged all my pots outside last night to make the most of it. They look thankful I did 😄

Very cool @Zoe7 @Rosemary from Rosemary. I hope so @Zoe7 . People don't change too much @Zoe7 . I know being a principle is different but hopefully they are the same as you remember.

She has been really lovely so far @Teej so I am hoping the same. I don't expect any issues but working fulltime again is certainly going to be a challenge - and I still have to work appointments in so some weeks are going to be super draining. My Mum expressed her concern today about me working fulltime again but I assured her it is what I want to do and if I have support around me it will make it easier. I am teaching a grade I have only ever taught for a term before so any help I can get will be appreciated. A friend from school last year has said she would help as much as she could also - so lovely of her

Yoga sounds good @Snowie . I hope it is helpful.
ahhh the taxi mum @Snowie . That doesn't go away quietly either. I still get calls to pick my 20somethings up......had to pick one up last night in the rain at 10:30 . They are usually good though. If I'm tired or in bed they'll Uber it home.
