1. After an intense OFSTED inspection I received my feedback from my observation with an extremely mixed ability Year 9 group. I was awarded an ‘Outstanding,’ making it the third in a row and the second in which I have received such an accolade from an OFSTED inspector. I was delighted – I struggle with self doubt in my profession occasionally and the rather blurry guidelines that are given and repeatedly changed means that there is a level of uncertainty of where the goal posts are. However, it’s over and done with for a while and this means I can now relax a little… My faculty has also done extremely well and I’m really pleased for them all – they’re a fantastic group of people, excellent practitioners and deserve every success…
2. The Bloke spoilt me with a new bracelet from Pandora as a ‘well done’ – I’m a huge fan of their charms and have slowly built up my collection since purchasing my first as a present to myself for my 30th birthday. He wrote me a beautiful message in a card and gave me the bag, which I though was a charm to add to my bracelet. Instead, it was a brand new piece of jewellery from their new range. It’s absolutely stunning – I’m very lucky!
And possibly the best news of all…
3. I heard from the vets and they have ruled out feline leukaemia and lymphoma for my little friend. She’s still anaemic and has been on a diet of STEAK (she’s eating better than we are), and there is still the possibility of a tumour in her stomach, but at least for now she is doing well and doesn’t seem to be in any pain, which is fantastic.
So, tonight I am going to thank my lucky stars that somebody up there is watching out for me and my little family, enjoy an evening of relaxation in front of the TV with The Bloke and the cats and do absolutely nothing.
Happy Friday!

Ahhh I am so happy for you and your little kitty!
Thank you!
I love your cat’s face, so beautiful. I hope she’s going to be okay!
Thank you! Hopefully she’ll be ok for a while at least!
Outstanding news on all fronts!
It certainly is! Thank you!
Well-deserved accolades and wonderful news, Suzie! Continued blessings!
Thanks Michelle!
Great news all round. So happy for Wobbly.. Also happy that you passed the inspections (whatever they are) and recieved great accolades on the evaluation. Well done you. My wife likes Swarovski.
OFSTED is a set of government inspectors that assess teachers. It’s a scary experience!
Thanks as always! I love Swarovski too!
Super!!! You can exhale now and really enjoy the weekend!
Absolutely! Thanks Sandra!
congrats! and may your cat begin her trip to wellness.
Thank you very much!
Hooray!!!!!!!! You deserve it.
Thanks Richard!
Brilliant and well done, Have a cracker of a weekend, something to celebrate. 🍷
Thanks very much!
Go SUZIE Go SUZIE Go SUZIE Go. I am so pleased for you and spoilt as well 🙂 Yes I agree with Richard you really deserve it. Have a fantastic weekend you deserve a lay in. Glad pussy is a lot better, I had to take Tiger tonight to the vets as he was not well, but after a antibiotic and a pain killer he has picked up, have to take him back in the morning to check his temp. But he will be just fine 🙂
Thanks Pete! Hope he gets better soon!
Thanks, he got a injection of antibiotic and a painkiller, took him back on Saturday and his temp was normal, he got a longer acting antibiotic and today he is his lazy, sleeping eating, pooping machine self 🙂
Congratulations on your OFSTED rating! That must be a load off. And I’m so glad to hear about your kitty! It’s awful when pets are sick – nothing worse than feeling so helpless. Hopefully she’ll get the rest worked out soon!
Thank you Kay!
Great news. Have a good one.
Thank you! You too!
Awesome day for you! Hooray!
Thank you my lovely!
Congrets on three counts dear!
Thanks Francesca!
Happy Friday! Congrats on your wonderful day on your side of the pond! 🙂
Thanks Austin! Now, all I need is a snow day…
Don’t say “snow day” to a guy from Maine. It’ll set him off again!!!! 🙂
Good news on all fronts! Hug Wobbly for me.
Thanks Jennifer! I certainly will, she’s asleep at my feet as I write…
I’m thrilled for you. Congratulations Suzie.
Thank you, and thank you for posting this on Twitter too!
Congrats on all the great news! 😀
Thank you! Hope the home schooling is going well!
Congratulations on your rating! Wow on the jewelry from your Bloke. He sounds like a keeper! And, that is terrific news about your kitty! You’ve earned a relaxing evening for sure!
Thank you! I’ve been very lucky! Thanks so much for your comment!
Heartfelt congratulations, Suzie. Have been reading your blogs, and am keeping up with all your successes in your profession. So glad your cat is feeling better, too.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it!
Well done and it’ nice to know the Bloke gives such ‘charming’ gifts, but I must warn you (and I speak from experience) doing nothing is much more difficult than you might imagine. Give it your best effort, and enjoy.
Haha! I’ll certainly give it a good try!
A huge congratulations from me!
Thank you very much!
Happiness comes in threes 🙂 Delighted for you, Suzie. Have a wonderful weekend enjoying the lull in the emotional roller coaster ride!
Great news all round, Suzie. Enjoy a well-earned rest. x
Congrats on the OFSTED result. Good choice bloke, a whole new bracelet to fill up with charms (does he get brownie points for that?) lol. Awww your cat is well cute, looks a bit like one I had when I was younger (and also like one that now visits my garden that I am trying to convince that it doesn’t need to run away when it sees me, so far it’s not working)
Thanks! He certainly does get brownie points! Thanks for your comment about my little friend, she’s doing well!
Pleased to hear she’s doing well. I’ve always been a cat person.
Hooray for good news! I hope after that review you doubt yourself a little less. Also, I’m delighted to hear about the news for your little friend.
Thanks TD! It has certainly made my week!
Good!
Great post- well done with your offsted and so happy for ur furry friend too 🙂
Thank you!
Congratulations that’s ace! Ah, your cat is definatley being well looked after and eating stake is much more preferable to needing monthly injections.
