I said I'd do a post about my daily/weekly life here. So here goes...

• During the week my general hours are 7am (earlier to wake up the girls) till around 9.30am and then 3.30pm to about 9.30pm. However, Caitlin and I alternate Monday mornings and I also have every Tuesday morning off. I start at 5.30pm on Thursday afternoons. The boarding gaps have every Friday off (which I've mentioned previously).
  
  
• In the mornings, we wake the girls up, take them down to breakfast, come back and get them ready for school, hustle them off to school/escort the form 1s (about grade 2) to school, come back and do dorm scores, put laundry away, unload the dishwasher, and do any other random jobs (not very often - we're often done before 9.30am).
  
  
• In the afternoons: 3.30pm we go and get snack from the kitchen and organise the rest of it, occasionally go and collect a boarder from lodge (grade 1); at 4pm go and get the form 1s; 4-5.30pm put laundry away, help the girls out with prep (homework) who have a club during prep time; 5.30-6.30pm either go across to school to supervise and help the lowers (grade 4) with prep or stay at the house and help the form 1s and 2s; 6.30pm dinner; 7-8pm get the girls ready for bed, check and chase up who's handed in uniform for washing; 8-8.45pm get the different year levels to bed and lights out 15 minutes later; 8.45-9.30pm put washing on, load the dishwasher, sit in the office and hope no-one comes down comlaining of crying, talking or sickness.
  
  
• Caitlin and I go across to the gap flat after work probably at least 3 nights a week to see the others *coughwatch90210withIzzy*.
  
  
• On weekends, I either work Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon OR Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Morning shift goes from 8am to 12.30pm (lunch) and afternoon is 12.30pm to about 9.30pm. Breakfast is at 8:30am and dinner is at 5:30pm.
  
  
• On Saturday mornings the girls have some sort of activity, whether it be something crafty, a skipping or cheerleading workshop or a dental hygenist coming in to talk about brushing properly. The afternoons are pretty relaxing, often with 'sweet shop' where the girls can choose a bunch of sweets up to 50p, and hot snacks and a movie in the evening.
  
  
• Sunday mornings sometimes there is a service, put on by either David (headmaster) or one of the houses - ours was on Valentine's Day - and then a brunch at 11:30am. Sunday afternoons are also pretty chill and we try to get the girls off to bed a bit earlier.
  
  
• During the day on weekdays, us 4 boarding gaps usually meet up at Highlands and just waste time on the computers, walk down to town, go for a walk and other fun things. We've also been busy booking accomodation for Easter and now -- IT'S ALL BOOKED! Milan, Venice, Rome and Istanbul are all organised and we are so excited! So, in 20 days, we take a plane to Milan, stay 3 days, train to Venice, stay 3 days, take an overnight train to Rome, stay 4 days then fly to Istanbul where we stay 1 night before our 9 day ANZAC tour starts, then stay another 3 days afterwards before flying back to London in time for the summer term to start. Eeeee!

Hope you've now got a good idea of what my life here is like and that this was a bit easier to read :)
