    DD is watching The Babysitter Club so I'm going to try and get some more of my text book read. But I've managed to answer the first 4 questions of this weeks assignment but I've just realised I NEED to leave "positive feedback" on someone work for my OU course :eek: That could prove interesting. :confused: I wonder if my teaching book might have some guidance in it? :confused:

    DD is also going to watch Jason & the Argonauts (2 part drama apparently :confused: I thought it was the film) as she's doing Greek mythology in school. Then she should have some ideas for her literacy work as she's currently talking about including gridilows, mazes & various other ideas from Harry Potter :rolleyes: She's already been told she can sit with pen and paper and make notes ;)

    I might do some ironing later... but I'm already yawning so I could end up vegging out instead :o Laters :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Have just checked the fridge. Need to buy food... :o don't want to go shopping... but I guess it's better to go now than to try to do it tomorrow... Oh well :rolleyes:
  • lil_me - i was wondering where you had disappeared off too! Thats fab news about the laptop - fingers crossed it arrives ok on tuesday and at you have had an answer from swift - a step forward right enough. Hopefully the assessor will act quickly on it.
    Hope your dad's move goes ok. and massive hugs for your Nana and family what a shock that must have been.
    Did you enjoy your tutorial? hope half term gives you the chance of a bit of a catch up.
    valli if you pm/email me what you are looking for I will have a look here.
    SS well done - its nice when you dont have to worry about visitors -hope you enjoyed your cuddles.
    nicki you are making progress - well done.

    have deleted 50 emails and sent a few - DW emptied - washing on the airer - top of the wardrobe decluttered and re-organised. handbags all gone through and 3 for ebay and the rest put away tidy.

    Peace will be mine

    roast dinner is over half way now, DH is playing on the wii after beating me (only just) at scrabble and i've enjoyed a ready made G&T that was left from my Christmas stocking (seeing as I'm not drinking much thanks to the diet at the moment it was easier than opening a bottle of tonic ;)) I'm on the laptop in the kitchen.

    Usually we just plate up the dinner, being only 2 of us, but tonight I'm going to try popping it all in a couple of big serving dishes and then getting DH to wash all the pans & tins etc first so it's all done.

  • Well, the downstairs is still tidy, upstairs leaves a lot to be desired though, was really tired so haven't done much, but hopefully refreshed tomorrow and ready to kick @ss...

    Well, Hubby away so off for a night of wild drink and debauchery (well actually, off up the club for a coke and Karaoke... ) See you all later...

  • Have a great time Flylady.

    Well hopefully DD should be going to sleep soon.

    Woohoo. My DD is a big girl now and used her potty all done. About the only flying I have done today.

    Later I am going to do some hama beads with DS :D Wow what an exciting life I lead.
