10 years ago, I was on teaching placement with a “mentor” who broke my confidence and used to say the most horrible things. 6 years ago, I interviewed and got my teaching job. Today, I’m acting deputy head, SENCO and class teacher. 💜
My fiancé just took the cat that’s been hanging around to the vet, scanned, and it has a microchip. It has been missing for a year and we’ve just managed to reunite it with its owners, who thought it was just missing and gone forever. 🥺
This week has been such a struggle with my class. Today I nearly sat down and cried in front of them. Please say it’s not just me who has these weeks because I feel so bad at my job right now.
One of my class has made leaps and bounds of progress in their reading. Extremely reluctant reader, hates reading and everything to do with it. Recently been on cloud 9, and loving reading. Told them they smashed the paper today. The response? “I can’t have, I didn’t finish it”💔
7 years ago I got my first NQT job, after a year on supply. Current day, I completed my NASENCO award, becoming SENCO, and I’m starting my NPQSL in September.
Maternity leave starts right here…! Felt extremely strange logging out of my computer for the last time for a while, and driving home from school for the last time for a while. Here’s to adapting to a new role as Mummy - but first, rest and nesting!!💙🩵
Anyone else ever get overly anxious about what time to leave for a meeting that’s a bit of a drive away? Leaving myself an hour and 15 mins for a 30 minute journey “just in case”
Today has been really hard. Got home to find my fiancé has built the egg chair we had delivered. It’s the simple things that remind me just how fantastic he is and how lucky I am to be marrying him.
Completely non teaching related, but I definitely won’t be forgetting 2020 in a hurry...! He doesn’t get much of a mention but my fiancé is the most amazing human being ever 💍 the wedding planning is most definitely underway 🙊♥️
I never thought I would have had the reaction I did to my tweet about doubting myself and my teaching last night. It’s ok to not be ok, and the response shows that. I have never met some of the people who have messaged me, and you all brought me back from the edge. Thank you. ♥️
Beyond privileged and extremely excited to be Acting Deputy Head. And to think I nearly walked away from teaching...! So proud of the team and to
@Sharifahlee4
- thank you for everything! 💜
I might have worked every single night for the last 2 weeks, I might be exhausted and walking like a zombie, but I must say i bloody love being a teacher. There is no profession like it ♥️👩🏼🏫
You know all those little negative thoughts you have about your ability to do your job? I had a nightmare last night that was so vivid about this. People told me I “do nothing all day, was too young to be SLT, didn’t know what I was doing”. I feel really sad this morning now. 😢
If a bloke was sat alone in the football would you assume he had been stood up? No you’d just assume he likes to come to the football and seeing as it’s a cup game some of us can’t sit in our seat. Why is this an ok question to ask a woman...?
They give me palpitations every single week. I drive a 300 mile round trip to watch home games. They’ve given me some of the worst moments. But I love this club

Last night in paradise with my husband 🥰 we’ve eaten lots, made some great new core memories, and I’ve honestly had the best honeymoon ever. Going home tomorrow will be HARD! 🥹
