It's the second week of term and the countdown to half term has started already. Well, it is only a 5 week term, so that's a blink of the eye. Meals for this week are; Monday; Pork fajitas. I cooked the pork on Sunday and left it in the fridge to be ready for a quick and easy meal after 2 hours of tutoring and before bookclub which today is discussing The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. Tuesday; Stir fried beef. We have some spring onions and some sugar snap peas to throw in with noodles and have a tasty chinese! Wednesday; Meatballs and mash. We love Aldi meatballs, or Frikadellen as they're called. They cook quickly and go with loads of options. Like mash, or chips, or pasta. Today is mash and peas and gravy. Lots of gravy. Thursday; Spaghetti Bolognese made in a jiffy with mince and a jar of pasta sauce. Somedays I am a lazy cook. Friday; The children are having fried chicken and chips, while we will have a fast paella from the Hairy Dieters later on. Sat...
Sorry you didn't get it. Will look out for you on The Chase!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I came second to the internal candidate and my feedback was excellent, so there's hope!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you didn't get the Reading Champion post, but do let us know when you're on The Chase, I shall watch out for you. Well done on getting through. Hope you're feeling better soon, Eleanor doesn't break up until Thursday either.
ReplyDeleteIt's too close to Easter! At least we get 2 weeks off.... although David has already said he's going to be busy working the whole two weeks! AS levels, eh?
DeleteSorry about the reading champion, I am sure that you would have been good at it - their loss! Well done about The Chase, be sure to let us know when it is on!! xx
ReplyDeleteWill do; they are very careful to say that it's a provisional acceptance subject to being cast, but at least I'm on their list!
DeleteOh, sorry to hear you didn't get the job, but The Chase sounds exciting!. I've just popped over to say hello and thank you for all your lovely comments (and have a nose around your blog!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for popping by; I hope you liked what you saw? It was lovely to find a new blog to read!
DeleteDefinitely enjoying it so far!
DeleteSorry to hear you've been full of those nasty germs too. Hope they go very soon and you are left to enjoy the school break germ free. Such a shame about the job, but I'm crossing everything for a call back on The Chase.

Thank you! Surprisingly, despite not getting the job the whole interview was a really positive experience. A confidence boost without the worry of leaving my present post!
DeleteI'm sorry you didn't get the job but that just means there's something bigger and better waiting around the corner for you. I wasn't going to bother watching Poldark - I read the books years ago and though that it would be "just another period drama" - but thanks to you I decided that I would and I'm really enjoying it! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to find another Poldarkian. My daughter (aged 13) is watching and loving it as well. But hands off Aiden.... he's mine!
DeleteI hope that you feel better when you arrive at the holidays. Solihull (where I work) finished last Friday but many of the local schools in Worcester are continuing until tomorrow. We are facing a 13 week summer term - which feels a bit too long really. The only compensation for me is that it's going to be the last one!! Jx
ReplyDeleteOoh! You're on the countdown! How many days left? Are they marked on a calendar somewhere? If my contract doesn't renew I'll be on a countdown as well, but with the prospect of supply or a new job ahead of me. I won't know for certain until May.
DeleteSorry to hear that you did not get the job, I often think these things happen for a reason. I hope you soon feel better - I guess you are looking forward to the Easter holidays - enjoy!

I am loving the Easter holidays. I feel better than I have all term, and relaxed. If it weren't for the money (and boy do we need the money) I'd say my natural place is to be at home......
DeleteSorry about the Reading Champion job but fingers crossed for The Chase. I hope you enjoy the Easter holidays and have a chance to rest and relax. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. With hot cross buns for breakfast and a blanket to work on, I am most definitely enjoying them so far!
