    Maybe I should have chosen a job that does not require any work from home.

    When you find one, let me know what it is. I've NEVER had a job that doesn't involve working outside contracted hours and end up with me taking my work home!

    I'm shattered. Skipped yoga, came home, had a bath and am about to cancel tomorrow's crack of dawn personal training session. Not good for the weight loss, but there's no way I can do it.

    I'm working out what I'm doing for Lent... I really need to give up alcohol, coffee (at work particularly) and chocolate as a minimum. And keep a food diary... and get my exercise regime back on track (hence the need to sleep NOW!). I notice the Christian Aid have done a 'count your blessings' campaign for Lent which I might look into too... I think it would be good for me! http://www.christianaid.org.uk/getinvolved/lent/count-your-blessings.aspx

    No flying today, but the house is looking pretty good. I should be able to sort out some more stuff in the utility room/kitchen now the cupboards are sorted and the shelves are up which will help. My dad checked the attic, and there's no sign of mice, but it looks as if a bird might have been in there. He's put some rat poison down anyway, and is going to bring some netting to put over the air brick next time he vists :D

    Working from home tomorrow, so hopefully will get some bits done. I need to focus on the phone calls - tree surgeon & cake-decorating course - it shouldn't take long to get them off the list.

    Off to make my hot water bottles and decide whether I need to eat before I go to bed... I think it might just keep me awake!

    I should think you are sore. Don't try and do too much.

    Well I'm off to declutter some dirt - am going to wash my hair before bed as I'm having my hair cut tomorrow (free) and would normally have washed it at the gym tonight, but I didn't go cos I did some food shopping instead, as well as a mountain of marking in school. I've got a pile of work to level in school on Wednesday (the head is giving me PPA time to do it in) although I doubt I'll get it all done, as it's a completely different mark scheme to the one I've used before, and I'm a bit rusty having done supply for so long now. Still, it'll be good practice in case they ask me to do any on my trial day. I also have to do a parent's evening on Thursday night as I taught this particular class for 3 weeks, and their normal class teacher has been off sick for so long - I will be paid extra for this.

    Well, off to the shower I go, as it takes ages to dry my hair, and the disadvantage of doing it before bed is that it has to be completely dry before I go to bed as I don't want to stain the pillows.

    Night night all, if I don't get online tomorrow, then happy flying.

    Still trying to clear the debris from 2 parties over the weekend. I had birthday party during the day on fri for all my mummy and baby friends- 9 babies all but 1 mobile! And then family round on the sat which was my actual b'day. I have a big family, but it was lovely, I didn't get stressed at all just relaxed and enjoyed myself. Then last night i was not liking the state of my house, so I blitzed the living room so I could relax, then I've been out all day taking DD swimming this morn then errands etc this avo, so this eve I have blitzed the kitchen. The main mess has gone but now I need to do a good clean and I'll be back on track! Phew! Best get on with a bit more before bed, I've got another busy day tomorrow- soft play! :D
