Granny's a Skiver

Yes that's me today - skiving. Not done that for years. The last time I skived was at my senior school. It was a PE lesson which I hated, so I hid in the toilets and was caught by the Deputy Headmistress.

She was a real dragon in her long black cloak and pointy stilettos. I can still hear her click click clacking of her heels on the main hall floor. No-one disrespected her, I suppose you could say she was an icon of her era.

I didn't know it at the time but the lady in question was to be my late son-in-laws auntie, he hadn't even been born then. My daughter married her nephew a couple of years ago and they had two beautiful twin daughters just before he passed away. I can't believe this scary woman is knitting lovely little cardies for my grandbabies.

Anyway to get back to my skiving. I'm not really skiving as such. Today should have been a workshop day very similar to last weeks. If you have read my previous blog you will see that it entailed spending sometime in the IT suite typing up our assignments.

To me it just seemed a waste of good time sitting amongst unruly folk and not getting a lot done. I felt I would achieve much more working from home as most of the information I need is on my PC.

Evening Session

It's much easier to park at night than in the daytime and I managed to find a parking spot straight away.

I made my way to the classroom and met up with my fellow classmates. I asked how they had got on whilst I was skiving.

Apparently they never made it to the IT Suite as the tutor had forgotten to book it, so out came those dreaded laptops, the ones that didn't work first time round and still didn't work. All in all from what I can gather, most of the class disappeared one by one.

We got settled into our classroom and waited for the lesson to commence. Flippin nora who should join our class but flamin "Innit". He's not normally in our class at night, it's only for us adults.

He wore a black hoodie and kept the hood up all evening (probably to disguise his headset which is always attached to his mobile).

It was quite fun tonight which is unusual because you are not supposed to be enjoying yourself. We had a little quiz and we were divided into two teams. We all had to take it in turn to pull a question out of a bag and answer it.

My question was "Which of the day book totals includes Vat"? The Gross total of course!

Our new books have arrived and they weighed a tonne (whats that in metric)? I shall need a trolley to pull them around in as I am still hobbling with a crutch tucked under my right arm. Carrying the books in my left nearly topple me over as they are so heavy.

I got on quite well this evening and managed to finish some of my work well before any of the others and it was right for a change. It's a great feeling but it won't last.

This evening we worked on the following:-

Complete Sales Ledger Accounts

List Methods of Communication with Debtors

Complete a Business Letter

Complete a Statement of Account

Yippeeeee its half term next week.

Tattie bye for now.
