sunnyday Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Reminds me of a 'fridge magnet I saw once. "I can only please one person a day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either". Oh I will save that one up - I'm sure Mr S. will be delighted when I use that one! P.S. My favourite fridge magnet says 'Real women don't have hot flushes, they have power surges'!

Rea Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I bought my son a key ring because it suited him 100%. 'I smile because I have no idea what's going on'. We got a fridge magnet for hubby which has a picture of a PC saying 'Hello, this is your computer speaking. You have no idea what you're doing do you?'

Guest Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 'Good enough is good enough' (I'm no longer a perfectionist wanting things perfect) Pardon the sad theme of the next one, but 'The graveyard is full of indispensible people.' - This was what a colleague told me and one which helped me when I was trying to rush my recovery after serious surgery in order to get back to work (Must have been mad or it was the medicine!) It really has helped me put life into perspective (not quite at the time) and helps me remember to do this and keep that work/ life balance. Final one 'You can't replace your family but you can replace your job' - from a colleague who decided it was enough and time to move on when she had to spend more time doing work than with her family. She is very happily working outside of school and is spending more time with her family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
