Cracking the Whip

Hi All,
So this image pretty much sums up the past week. The shakles of work and study have gripped me by the knackers (oops, should be singular!) and the beautiful weekend drifted by with me desperately trying to keep up to date with marking and lesson plans whilst finishing off an increasingly lenghty project for a course I keep thinking I've finished (it's done for good this Friday though - so a double whammy of boarding to be had this weekend). Whilst I've been chained to the desk, Brina has been sick in bed (not chained - just to counteract any salivating perverted comments).
At work we're on the back nine with regards to the forthcoming christmas holidays now though (if the truth be told I'm actually already in the clubhouse with my feet up sipping a stiff brandy, as all my lessons at present revolve around videos and dvds - and the kids had better get used to it because that's all they're getting until 2007).
I think it's about time to really finish off my blasted project, I hear the jingling of tea cups coming up the stairs so I'd best log off and pretend that I have in fact been 'studying' up here for the past 2 hours! We hope you are all fit and well, and that you're keeping your fingers crossed for Santa's visit!
Premature Ho Ho Hos
S&S.
p.s. If any of you are driving home from a pub tonight and you see a scouser on a bike, try not to run him over -
it's probably your bike!
