This weeks MACAW (Make a Change a Week challenge) Basically you choose one thing you would like to change about your lifestyle, your habits or whatever you fancy and incorporate it into a new way of life.. anything from cooking one meal a week from scratch, learning a new skill, shining your sink every day, reducing your alcohol consumption, doing some exercise.. whatever you fancy! This is only for those who WANT to participate and being run alongside flylady rather than being part of it.


My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.............Don't get stressed about the wedding planning, house, garden, car etc.

Hugs and prayers to you and your dad Mudbath.

Michelle! Your lists are always soo long..how do you do it?

Ashbart DDs wedding is this week, best of luck with your planning, we are still not finished organising but are nearly there!

I have completed Mondays and Tuesdays lists with a little help from my family.

Monday and Tuesday-done


DS3 has injured his shoulder blade by falling off his motorcross bike and landing on his head!! A and E sent him home saying to take some pain killers. Only four days until the wedding and he is an usher:mad: but he is still trying to help me one handed.

I have also FINISHED two bathrooms, one still to go. Boys bathroom has a loose loo seat and the fixings missing if anyone knows how to sort out things like that?

Must go and make dinner for family arriving from the South soon.

To do today-

Still haven't made bridesmaids bags
Seating plan
Collect wine from co-op

Hello all- flying visit as I need to collect the car. Have been keeping up with the level 1 stuff but there has been lots happening lately. I will try to catch up on most of it tomorrow as it should be a fairly quiet day but just to bring everyone up to speed....

Things are moving re the job situation and I should be signing the papers soon. In the meantime I have been advised to start applying for jobs and put in 2 applications yesterday for deputy headships- I visited 1 today, the other didn't seem to want me to visit which I thought a little strange. Hopefully I will find out in the next couple of days if I have been shortlisted but I know that one has interviews next week which will last 2 days. In the meantime I have started to find out about what help we can get re tax credits, council tax benefit and job seekers allowance- I know things will be a little complicated as I am resigning (albeit heavily encouraged to) but hopefully we will get some help.

To cap it all off I had to take the car into the dealers as it kept losing power halfway through journeys. It's going to cost £460 to repair which we are going to have to do, but this is the last thing we needed. Wifey was in tears today when I met her for lunch as she is so worried if I don't get a job. The money I am getting for agreeing to resign should hopefully last us at least 6-8 months being very careful and miserly, so I should have a job by then. It's just all very worrying at the moment.

Hugs to all that need them and that everyone is well- will try to catch up on the thread later tonight once I have finished being the family taxi driver.
