    That is quite a lot to have to deal with all at once. You are doing a great job and have been for a long time. Congrats on being top of the class. You are Top all round. Congrats on the debt a sure sign of your strength. It’s easy for things to slip when you have a lot to deal with.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.

    Morning everyone.

    AnW'sMum - and everyone else going away next week - have a fantastic time if I don't catch you before the big switch off.

    V. misty this morning. I'm going to have to sort out layers to wear today. My office was quite cold first thing yesterday morning but by the afternoon it was roasting. It'll probably be the same today.

    Will fly when I get home

    Have a lovely day people

    Good morning,

    My morning hasn't started that well. Already had a row with hubby (I make a elephant out of ........) He is now gone to work and we are not on speaking terms.
    He is usually very good and the only thing that nags me about him, is when there is something to stand up for (eg having to talk to people about not pleasent things) he leaves it to me. So I blew up this morning.

    Hey ho, better get on with something from the list.
    I wish Germany had a website like moneysavingexpert!

    Morning all! Got a lovely sore throat today but, hey, it's Friday and the holidays start in 8 hours :D:D

    Hope everyone going away has a great time

    Off to put some oil in my car and then drive to work. Easter cakes for sale today and then an Easter Egg hunt for my class this afternoon.

    Take care everyone.

    I'll update my list tonight and do some flying as I hope to be home earlyish.
