I think we'll get away with the raclette machine I (mistakenly) bought for Souvette back in Feb. It's still in the box and her mother is unaware of its existence. For now.
Had your bikini wax yet?

Not that old chestnut
Low salaries in comparison to what? Please show me which profession/trade whatever, that expects its members to have a comparable education, that, when time at work is taken into account, are paid significantly more than teachers

I work in a bank and for all of the last week we have boxes, tins, packets, bags you name it of mostly chocolate (not complaining!) biscuits and what have you. I suspect by xmas I will never want to see candy again and could imagine this being the same for a teacher with 25 or so pupils all with similar budjets and not a clue what to get.
I too would settle for a decent wine!!!!!

Yep thats what we do as well. The kids make a card for the teacher and we give them a timmies voucher because both teachers love timmies coffee.

Lawyers are mostly on vacation, I understand: but of course they're billing for the hours.
