    I've not caught up, but looking at the time do you blame me? Just finished the ironing... no idea how long it took me but it was more than an hour. I've also vacuumed right through the house, S&S the kitchen so a good start to the week meaning I can concentrate on studying tomorrow before I have work Tues, Wed, Thur and Friday is the last day of term!
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Thanks pigpen and Quillion for the lists. (((Hugs))) and get well vibes for all who need it. I am in again this week to at least level 1 all round. I aim to do LR to level 2 and hopefully can continue to earn a kitchen star.

    Good luck to Tricker DD1 and any others with LOs writing exams.
    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 All :wave:

    I hope everyone is well and happy this morning, or at least, as well and as happy as can be given the poorlies, and grumpies (grumpy children that is! ) :rolleyes:

    My plan for the day is:

    walk the pooch
    go to Lidl and Sainsburys
    Monday's list
    Roast chicken dinner.

    Whew...... I'm exhausted just reading that back! :D I've got to get back to some kind of normality, so I'm going to crack on, and fall into bed early... we'll see... road to hell and all that!!!! :D

    Morning all

    thoughts with ladyL

    I'm drinking a cuppa and steeling myself for the commute this morning, have to read some more stuff for the interview on the way. Might work from home tomorrow morning so I can prepare more. I could even take a days TOIL so I can concentrate completely. I might just amke a dent in my work emails before I leave (have 10 mins before I need to leave)

    update on my friend - still in hospital, hoping to see consultant and have a scan (mri?) today. I'm going to see her tomorrow night all being well.
