If I have got out of bed on the wrong side, the class play me up even more. If my car wouldn't start that morning, child x is particularly horrid to me. If I didn't get my chocolate fix at break, the next lesson is the worst one of the day.

It's me isn't it?!

The last time I phoned a friend in the evening to have a good old vent about being sh*t on from a great height by one school, and she had had a similar sort of day, I realised I wasn't alone in my feelings, though I was kind of isolated as a supply teacher. We talked about what we should be doing with the kids, what we were expecting, some solutions to behaviour problems we were experiencing etc. and by the end of the call I was in an altogether better mood.

of months... I was in such a state before we went on holiday, that at any point in 3 days I could've easily walked out on OH, he basically hid from me until he could get to Tesco's, to get in supplies... I'd run out completely! This month, I got a higher strenth one for a change, and have been singing to the daisy's of a morning!

Doesn't work for everyone though apparently...

St Johns Wort is supposed to be excellent but you cant take it if you're on the pill.
