It’s Sunday night, and I am fighting the misery. School starts tomorrow, I have done none of the marking I should have done; I have a raft of reports I was supposed to read for the head, which I haven’t; and I have about 100 children who are supposed to be taking exams in a week, who will all arrive back at school in one of three states:

a) unprepared, terrified and overtired

b) unprepared and unconcerned

c) pregnant

Happy New Year bloggers! Only two more days till term starts, what a toxic thrill that is. I am paralysed by the fear that I haven’t done anything that I should have done, especially the school improvement report thingy we were supposed to ‘brainstorm ideas on’. Somehow I was just too busy eating turkey. And mince pies. And Christmas Cake. And mulled wine. And cheese.

Worst thing of all is that I don’t forsee any time to go to the gym this term. New Year, New Dress size?
