• Off to see DS in his own rugby shirt later this am , important cup game. (6 pairs of socks - some sparkly!)
• Lunch and tea from left overs/ storecupboard.
• Want OH to help me move some shelves but that will have to wait until celebratory hangover subsides ( his not mine I hasten to add!)
• Did lots of money moving last night from pot to pot so know where we stand for the month - petrol money in and more to claim :j ( Done your expenses yet SM?:rotfl:)
• Continue with never ending hokey cokey
• Look at garden and consider a bit of digging!
• Tidy away work stuff so it doesn't stare at me whilst I'm on leave this week
• Consider booking 1p bowling for DSs ( but you have to start between 9 and 9:30am:eek:)

Have a happy and productive day everyone

Hiya - what course are you doing? I work in a school too (I'm a TA) and I'm doing nvq3 at the moment, but have no motivation at all and am about to apply for the Foundation degree in Education Studies for September, so must finish this darn NVQ! I've done OU courses too, but they fell by the wayside when I started the TA NVQs.
Go on.....go and do some work!!!;)
