    Checked smoke alarm
    Emptied kitchen bins
    Put wm on
    Put wet washing on airer
    Tidied & Hoovered Living room & Passage
    Looked for energy saving bulbs. I need 7 and i found 4.
    Tidied my desk
    Tidied landing
    Went & got dragon cards out of the car for Ds2
    Put my floordrobe away

    I was going to finish my bedroom whilst Ds2 was playing happily in his room but he's decided he's not happy any more and wants to go downstairs,:rolleyes: so i'm going to try and get a bit done in the kitchen before Ds1 gets home.
  • Lovin the HHC's!!! :j

    I....
    Cleaned many windows... LR/DR/MB/front door/inner door/and Kitchen!
    And then...
    Vacuumed MB/stairs/landing/ and radiator in mini hallway
    Sweating now, and out of breath!!

    Decided on Veg chilli for tea... again.

    Can anyone suggest nutritious cheap homemade yummy dinners? Or threads for them? Preferably that don't involve hot dogs or 6p noodles? I've made wicked veg chilli with lentils and carrots as the main ingredient, but I'm really struggling with ideas... :confused:

    I'm back from town and - I have files!! Pretty translucent pink and purple. (I have paper and dividers too! And pretty stickers! they're for the children though...)

    Now comes the tough bit - writing the lesson plans to put inside them! I've just spent half an hour on the school website looking at the scheme of work, which is in Excel, and annoyingly stretches longer than the screen, and all the details are written horizontally, and I usually write lists vertically. I'm going cross eyed trying to transfer stuff from one direction to the other! It is also written in weeks (which I like) but I have to divide it into three lessons, and all of my classes bar one are shared, so I somehow have to work out what my partner will be doing for one lesson. I need some chocolate!

    I have to finish planning until the end of next week by tomorrow, so I can send the Head of Faculty the plans - this is one of the new initiatives in the school that I suspect will be a waste of time. The HoF will have plans for 14 teachers with about 8 classes each, times about 3 lessons per class. I'm not that good at maths, but I can see she won't be reading all of them will she?

    Okay, must go[STRIKE] play with my pretty folders [/STRIKE] PLAN!!
