    Rosepink - I think you asked earlier in the week about car boot sales, I did one on Sunday, it was an early start, 6.30 a.m. when we got there & the main part was already full we were put in a field & the gates for stall holders were not meant to open until 7 a.m!!!! I had 2 clothes rails, 1 with childrens clothes & 1 with adults, they went quite well. Before we set up people were coming round asking if we had any ps games, dvd's etc. It get's really boring, ideally go with someone for company (I took my 8 year old niece) take plenty of food, drinks & warm clothes.
    I am determined today I am going to get loads done!!!! Before 8 a.m I had showered, sprayed bath & sink with cleaner, (need to clean off once I have washed breakfast pots), eaten breakfast, arranged for a freecycler to collect some stuff after 5pm tonight, replied to another freecycler offering some stuff (awaiting reply). I have now compiled a list of things to do (Toots will be proud. lol)
    Going to try & sort my kitchen this morning then going to mums this afternoon to meet a freecycler, busy. busy, busy.....

    Hugs to those who need them.

    Here is my to do list :eek:

    SGT List To Do!!!!!!

    I love calculus :T Almost as much as algebra :T

    I prefer algebra too, not got an algebra module this semester unfortunately:( Really enjoyed last semesters module, and i got an A in it:D

    Have done the breakfast dishes and S&S'd the kitchen, washing machine is on and i'm having a cuppa before i get cracking on with my studying.
    Hope your studying goes well Nicki, i'm struggling not to sit and stare out the window as it is a beautiful day.

    Morning ladies

    Who's got my got up and go?

    Emily hugs

    Triker hugs for your DD, can you pinpoint what she is finding the most stressful part. Our school do have children who are very stressed in a separate room, small group rather than being in the sports hall. Would that help her at all? Is it how well she does that she worries about? Does she know that retakes are possible so it is not all or nothing. I hope she is ok today x

    I've had mild tooth pain since the weekend, not sure if it is a sinus problem, a tooth problem or due to grinding my teeth. Hoping it goes soon as I so do not want to go to the dentist.

    Morning all...

    Just trying to catch up with the thread. I didn't get online last night as we were rubbing down the paintwork in the hall where the PC is.

    Triker - hope your DD is okay with school today, I can totally empathise! I am trying to keep in mind that it is just a phase & won't last forever. I can remember worrying over weaning/potty training etc at the time, but when I look back I can see that they got there eventually - iyswim.
    I'd also like to add a public thank-you :T to Carol22 for the very reassuring PMs she sent!

    gunsandbanjos & PenelopePenguin aarrgghh! Calculus & algebra are the stuff my nightmares are made of - never managed to get my head round them at all!

    Emily hope you are feeling okay today.

    Here's my list:
