Half term pestering
« on: February 15, 2008, 02:30:54 PM »
Well for some of us it is, mercifully, nearly over, but the constant pestering this week has made me quite fractious. I am sure that when I was a kid I just played on my bike or similar. Now it's "What can we do next/now/this afternoon?" from dawn till dusk. Banghead Banghead Banghead

I have not managed to finish one sentence of one phone call all day without interruption.  cussing: cussing: cussing:

My parents used to complain that they never saw me unless I was hungry from the time school broke up until it was the end of the holidays. I think the world has changed a great deal.

Yup!
The Teenage Hormone wreck is going to France tonight (departure from school at 2am Monday Morning!!!!). She will return on Friday night/Saturday morning (we will get an estimated time of arrival by text from the teacher in charge at their last motorway stop on the M6)
The good thing about this is that her fellow travellers and teachers not to mention the entire French Nation can enjoy this months PMT and I will not  cloud9:

Mr Wench is on half term. He is pestering me. I've nailed the chore list to his forehead.
