Looby's Profile

[Looby]

Occupation: Teacher (Primary School) - for my sins!

Fave food: Pretty much anything - it's my downfall!

Fave drink: Water (on a school night!) Vodka and diet coke (on a non-school night!)

Other hobbies: Watching TV - complete soap addict!

Other vehicles: Polo

Books: Mostly books aimed at kids (call it research for school!) - Harry Potter, Phillip Pullman - His Dark Materials Trilogy, would like to read the Artemis Fowl books at some point.

Fave Music: Snow Patrol, Keane, Coldplay, Basement Jaxx, Razorlight, The Feeling, plus all the oldies, that make me feel young again!

Last film: Haven't been to the cinema for ages - I think it was probably either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

Likes: Vee Dubs, socialising, camping in the van, smiling and laughing.

Dislikes: People (especially chavvy kids) who have no respect for anyone or anything, and the fact that they, more often than not, get away with it!

good call on the dislike

[Looby]

Used to live on a fairly busy road in Rushden.

Had a lot of problems - lost numerous wing mirrors, indicator covers, my husband's car (a soft top) was slashed open, amongst other things.

Needless to say, the little gits were never caught or reprimanded...except for the time I ran up the road after them. Don't know what I would have done if they had actually stopped!

Luckily, we are now in a quiet cul-de-sac in Higham Ferrers, with all our vehicles parked off the road. So much better.

yay a teacher to ask questions to! what year do you teach?

[Looby]

I teach year 6 at the moment.

How old are your kids?

[smashingpumpkin]

almost 7 (x2), almost 6 and nearly 4!!

[smashingpumpkin]

isn't year 6 when they start getting attitude?

[Looby]

You're not wrong.

Mind you, they're not as bad as secondary school kids...wouldn't want to teach them for any amount of money!!

Actually, I've got a pretty nice bunch this year. Better than some I've had in the past!
