Hey Friend! How’s things with you? It’s not only darker here, in London, but also colder now too. The heating is on and the duvet coat, hat, scarf and gloves are essential when heading outdoors. Even though it’s freezing, there’s something quite satisfying about the crunch of frost-encrusted leaves underfoot. Older Miss is settling in … Continue reading Welcome to The School Office

May The Best Man Win
Hello! How are you? It’s been a good week. Exams are winding down – practically finished actually so, my temp work has too. I’m grateful for the time though and my new friends. Exams finished just in time for me to attend Bubs’ Sport’s Day. It’s usually just me and my mum, but this year … Continue reading May The Best Man Win
Happy and Glorious
Hey Friend, Well. We officially have a new king. Yay. The build-up to the coronation this past week has been… How do I put this? Boring? Tiresome? Strange (People camping out several days before to get a glimpse of the carriage as it passes by, I’m referring to you with that last one). I’m sorry, … Continue reading Happy and Glorious
For Your Eyes Only
Well hello there, Friend! How’s it going? The sun is out so that’s always a bonus 😊 Unfortunately for me, I can’t quite enjoy it with one good eye… So, I went to bed on Sunday and all was fine except my left eyelid felt a bit sore to touch. No big deal. I went … Continue reading For Your Eyes Only
So You Think That’s funny?
Hey there, How are you? I love spring. Daffodils, tulips, Magnolia blossom – what’s not to love? Well, one thing has to be the weather. I had to laugh when the weather lady talked of unseasonably high temperatures reaching the dizzying heights of 17 degrees Celsius… In the next breath she said ‘But don’t put … Continue reading So You Think That’s funny?
Always Look on The Bright Side of Life
Hey Friend, How’s it going? What have you been up to this week? The last few weeks I’ve been busy pitching, which is completely out of my comfort zone. I’ve just received a no back from one of my pitch recipients but I’m handling it pretty well. I mean, it’s the first no and someone … Continue reading Always Look on The Bright Side of Life
World Book Day 2023
Hey! How are you? Hopefully you had a good week. Ours has been OK. The dreaded World Book Day reared it’s head again… and, you’re not gonna believe this but Bubs decided he wanted to go as… Dog Man. If you’re unfamiliar with this gem of a character, here you are: I bet you’re intrigued … Continue reading World Book Day 2023
Trolley Dash
Hi there! How are you today? It’s our last lazy day – half term is well and truly over. Although Bubs has been mourning the end of the holidays since Friday… We haven’t done much this week. Older Miss (OM) had ‘compulsory revision’ at school for three out of the five days so it wouldn’t … Continue reading Trolley Dash
Drive On
Hello! How are you? You’re not gonna believe this but – we made it! Half term baby! Whoo-hoo! Okay, so I’m a little over-excited at the prospect of not having to drive. Don’t get me wrong, I much prefer the comfort of my own car than being on the bus. At least there are no … Continue reading Drive On
A Little Less Drama if You Please
Hey Friend, How’s it going? I don’t know about you, but I am really looking forward to half term next week. A whole week of not hearing: ‘It’s too early to get up!’ ‘I don’t want to go to school!’ ‘I’m soooo tired!’ ‘My stomach hurts!’ ‘Why can’t I stay home? It’s just one day!’ … Continue reading A Little Less Drama if You Please
