Finished my lesson!
Five days off now because it's the Eid on Wednesday!
Lots of meat!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do remind me when the Eid starts! Should wish a happy Eid to a few people.
Good luck with your busy day ahead, Carol!
I’ve almost caught up. And very busy too. Will be the class rep this year, and it’s a bit of extra work. Or more than a bit.
I keep volunteering myself into all kinds of trouble. [emoji85][emoji23]
An international text message from my mobile phone costs 35p. If the recipient happens to have an iphone, as I do, then Apple's iMessage takes over and it becomes data which costs me nothing extra.
Call rates to international numbers vary depending on where I am calling, but are expensive.
My landline package includes international calls to landlines in some countries (eg USA) at no extra cost, bit those not in the package are expensive!
With JoesDad working all over the world over the years, we use Skype a lot to chat. People don't always realise, but Skype can also be used to make international telephone calls and works out MUCH cheaper than either the landline or mobile. As a result, JoesDad uses it in India for business calls back to the UK and we have used it to telephone daughter when she was volunteering in Tanzania without any internet.
Our kids use Skype to have face to face chats home as well. Sometimes we have three way family chats with JoesDad and I in front of one webcam and each child in front of their own webcam; it's brilliant
I used Skype a lot to call or have a face to face chat with my mom. Recently we gave her an iPhone, and now it’s all FaceTime.
Finally the sun was shining in the right direction! Silly Sun! But I’m still blaming the French.
Caught up now! Took care of some administrative work in between. Time for my second coffee!
Good luck with your busy day ahead, Carol!

Class rep: you may need to turn your phone off. In my experience the poor
Good luck! I hope your class proves the exception and the patents are paragons of virtue!
Thst should say parents not patents [emoji849]Class rep: you may need to turn your phone off. In my experience the poorvictimvolunteer ends up being in the middle of every petty argument between parents in a class... Honestly, the parents are worse than their kids!

In my experience also (as a teacher), parents are the ones who often need some schooling; their kids are much more manageable (and much less mean)! [emoji85][emoji23] We have a very sweet class, same as last year so far, so I’m hoping it won’t be a horrible lesson for me...

Gorgeous Linda!
Good morning Lena! Your fast this morning!! I’ve only managed 1/2 of my first, fed my tort babes, and climbed back in bed in my pj’s...
Hope you have a wonderful Monday !!!
That is very admirable of you Heather, not many would take on a trouble teenager but you seem to have done a good job with his brother.
It may not always be plain sailing but with your support, a stable home and the calming effect of your animals around him I'm sure he will settle and thrive in your care.
All good wishes to him and you.
Well better than street corners.Talking of France, here are the new public toilets in Paris.

Feel free to call me with some if that free phone time.
That's mad.
At the end of every three months I've still got about 100 Dollars of free international calls i have to ring people to use up.
And it costs me about $20 for those three months bit everything is multiplied because of special offers.
All my calls, local and international, all my texts and more bonuses than I can use.
I'll soon have loads of extra time to talk.
I retire in the 31st.
Thanks..!
Of course the BBC had to flush out a story like that!
Isn’t that called Yellow Journalism. !
