Was at the school this morning. I hate to say it but … I think I’m getting a bit fed up with being there now. Good thing it’s just a placement and I’ve only got another six weeks. I can’t quite put my finger on what’s putting me off (just being at West Winch – not being a teaching assistant in general), perhaps it’s getting too repetitive and the novelty has worn off, I don’t know. I feel like I’m always filing or doing some other odd-job and not getting as much time to work with the children any more, but then I suppose that’s to be expected now I’ve settled in there.

We’re getting free cavity wall and loft insulation on the 27th June. Had a guy come round earlier to do a survey and he confirmed we were eligible so that’s good. We may need to take some tiles off the bathroom wall for them to do it though which is a pain, but free insulation is free insulation. 

I’ve been playing the Sims all afternoon and have somehow caused a massive glitch where whenever a vehicle needs to turn up (nanny, fire engine, repairman, etc) I get an error pop up and the only way to get rid of it is to click ‘reset’ which then causes the vehicle to disappear. I tried moving them out and back in, tried boolprop, tried deleting things I thought could be causing the errors but it still won’t work. At one point everything went into slow-mo so I stopped fiddling around at that point and left it. Consequently, I can’t have anyone turn up to my lot which is rather annoying considering Daryl is very prone to starting fires on the stove and I doubt he has the mental stability to extinguish it himself without going into aspiration failure. 

… Uh, if you didn’t understood that last paragraph, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.
