Ok a couple of people have wondered why I've not submitted anything for a while... for a start there's not been anything worth submitting - and I don't like to inflict my dross on the rest of the world.

The other reason is basically that I got made redundant when my last school closed down (I'm a primary school teacher) and the schools have gone back now in the UK and, well basically I'm trying to get work as a substitute teacher in the short term, and find a longer-term "proper" teaching post. That's got to take priority over anything else for the moment and that's why I've been low on the submission front.

I've been so worried about that - there hasn't been any space in my brain for creativity stuff to be honest... will submit when I get something worthy of submission.
