I couldn't live without it now......My pupils produce their finished piece of work....we then upload it via usb/bluetooth to the pc/mac and then send to slide.com to display. No charge...no limit on slideshows and you can also change the themes etc......BRILLIANT! As a more visual learner and a D&T Teacher, I thought I'd add slide.com to that list above.

I take it you're both very much dependant on your childcare for your productivity! I suppose my wife's the same. Lisa, you're correct about learning to say 'no'. Sound advice! :-) Thanks Jo and Lisa.

I particularly agree with your comment about perfectionism - find that one very hard but learning!! And also arrive early, leave early - a problem if childcare doesn't open until 8am but definitely works where possible. My tip - and I feel very hypercritical saying this as I'm the worst ever at it - is to learn to say 'no' to things that really aren't your job and you're only doing because you feel you ought to.
