    Morning all ... just. I'm here but not flying as such. I'm going to work through my own list over the weekend which is going to be about level 1 in all rooms, some ironing / washing and then the rest of the weekend is studying! I've got loads to do. :o

    • Take timesheet in - they've just arrived in the post :D
    • Ebay / DVD post.
    • Boots - new mascara as mine has dried out now and the only other one I have makes my eye lashes so thick its not suitable for work (I keep my make up subtle but still with colour)
    • Read through IS stuff re: studying, also check about working on a voluntary basis. ;) Ready for Monday I want to get some more experience in, especially working with EAL kids and the school have said they'd love for me to stay on although it would have to be voluntary (only down side apart from not getting paid is that I can't go on the training courses:() :D:D:D:j:j:j
    Studying:

      • Unit 5 - Knowledge x 13 Statements pending assessment next week.
      • Unit 9 - Knowledge x 10 / Statements 9.1.1, 9.2
      • Anything I can't get statements for I need to make a list of so I can go in, do the thing and then get a statement for it ;) That way I should cover all the performance criteria before Thursdays final assessment :D Don't you love the team/family spirit in schools when everyone gets on :D:j:j
    • OU :
      • TMA

    I've excelled myself and flown nonstop for 2 hours. DS1 gone to school. Whilst I cleaned his room I made him practise his oral french to me - I think he decided it would be less torture being in school and he wants to play golf later and knows that would be a non starter.

    Friday
    family room HH declutter
    Wipe the hallway
    S&S the bathroom
    Wash any bedding you've not done this week.. including the pets!
    Bank x2- remember to take cheque and book this time!
    DS2&3 Judo
    kitchen hotspot
    meal plan
    Friends for drink/snacks - shop


    Going to write a meal plan and shopping list now and then an early lunch before I go to town - really surprised I'm not hungry yet after all my flying :confused: Blood sugar must be good today which is surprising as breakfast was a big slice of victoria sandwich.
