Finally, after weeks of hard work and a 3 hour visit from an assessor - I got this letter only 30 minutes ago! I've passed. It hasn't quite sunk in yet...I've waited for the results longer than it took to do the 8 assignments! Gosh, when I re-read my posts it reminded me of the amount of work I put in. Hmmm. Was it worth it? Well, yes in some ways. My confidence has grown and that for me is a good thing, a very good thing - but I get less than 50 pence more an hour on the day I cover the teacher for the afternoon! Something wrong there.. but hey, let's not dwell on that. I'm a HLTA - one of only 3 in our school! Thank you to all you who left encouraging comments. I do love all of your comments and am often calling to Anth to read the lovely things you have said. I am thinking of printing them off (if I can do it) to stick on my fridge! I think of you as friends even though we have never met, and marvel at how alike we all are.
This weekend is more...painting! How did you guess? We have put tongue and groove (love that name!) or should I say wooden cladding, around Tom's room. I bought wood that was water damaged (moldy!) for much cheaper than it should have been. I really wanted wide planks, so it would look like the inside of a tree house, but that was going to be hundreds of pounds.
So, it was the moldy stuff! It is looking OK when covered with paint and I'm half way round. More pictures when it's finished. Have you any ideas what colour I should paint his chest of drawers? I was going to do a pale blue. The walls are light cream and his curtains are blue ticking - as you can see. His bed is black cast iron. Better get on with it and I can listen to my most favourite radio programme Jonathan Ross. He is simply the funniest man - I just love him - nearly as much as Chris Martin, but not quite!
Enjoy your weekend!
