    :wave: Morning all!

    Shall be getting on with the dailies in a bit, waiting for someone to come round. Want to carry on in the lounge today whilst it's mostly tidy and hopefully once it's completely done just 15 mins a day will keep it that way!

    Also I noticed I needed milk this morning so being clever I wrote a post-it note and stuck it on the front door. Thought that I'd notice it just above the handle. However as the note is light blue and the door in shade I didn't see it! So realised halfway to school that I hadn't looked at the note and I had no money for milk. Therefore even if you are clever and write notes, it's no good unless you remember to look at them :rotfl:
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Morning everyone,

    Didn't get online last night cos the challenging school was very challenging and I came home with a really bad headache and went straight to bed when I'd had my lunch. Had a few hours' sleep and then got up for dinner before going back to bed again. I've still got a headache now!

    Thought I wasn't going to be called for supply today, but literally just got off the phone to the agency. They wanted me to go to a school for 10.30 but I told them I had other plans this morning, so I'll be going in the afternoon. If I start late, I get paid less and it's not my fault that the school are disorganised!

    Well I'm off to find Tuesday's list to copy into word, will have breakfast, and then does anyone fancy a HHC 9.30-10? I've got a huge pile of washing up to put away, and also one to do, as well as a pile of washing. Must also pop to Mr T at some point as we're out of milk.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    hi everyone - apparently it was really windy last night

    It was so windy here on Sunday that it blew a navigation light (same shape as a lighthouse but smaller so very heavy) off the pier and into the sea :eek:

    I'm off to do the kitchen now.

    Triker Argos do one if that helps, last time I got one it was in a charity shop, is there an auction room near you? Maybe get one from somewhere like that.

    Morning all! Right, plan for today for me is
    [strike]
    Shopping (after checking the list twice! to make sure I don't buy what I don't need) [/strike]
    Pigpens list, level 3 is needed unfortunately
    Make house toddler safe as might have little M tomorrow (or is that mission impossible?)
    3 laundry loads 1 washed, another in
    [STRIKE]DW on[/STRIKE] then emptied when done
    DS2s stuff finding for Beavers
    Dailies

    DP out this afternoon with DS1s school doing a Dad's football family learning thing, strange he seemed keen to go aswell, so got the afternoon with just me and the dog!

    ***Boinks in for HHC!***9.30-10 but might go shopping straight after and not report back.

    Hope you all have a lovely day x

    I do that occasionally, I also hang carrier bags with items that need to go places So that I have to hold them to open the door! Miss A has caught onto this and sometimes leaves notes on the door now as well!

    Triker, think you mean a coat stand like one of these? Just don't let Mudbath click the link ;)

    Right lounge straightening first off so I can get the hoover round there.
