    I am going to have lots of extras this week.

    Mon:
    trip to costco
    visit my parents
    visit DH's cousin and family and deliver new baby pressie - baby now 2 months old so slightly late
    [STRIKE]wash my hair[/STRIKE]
    do hair dye allergy test

    Wed:
    DS2 Meningitis and Hib vaccination at 9:15am
    drop boys at nursery
    go into school to get stuff done
    pick boys up

    Thur:
    wait in for water butt to be delivered
    dye my hair

    School stuff:
    mark y9 Btec work with stickers
    mark 7set 1 books
    mark 7 set 4 books with stickers
    enter data onto the computer for y9 and y10
    discuss with other staff what to put on comp for shared y7 class
    plan all lessons for week commencing 1/06, including another lesson observation (10 lessons in total)
    email year eleven group with some notes they wanted
    email year eleven the exam questions they asked me for
    do lab plan for week commencing 8/06


    The kids are only in nursery wed and fri, so i can imagine that is where most of the stuff will be done. I will also be trying to write a list of stuff we want to do for the bathroom/kitchen rennovations, and also what we would need to start packing up between now and then. Might even make a start on it this week. I don't need all of my cook books out all the time, and we don't use all the small appliances.

    Anyway, will carry on reading threads for now, and be ready to start tomorrow.

    Michelle, x

    Pigpen & Toots - thanks for the lists and star charts. Glad to see we're on our way to Chrimbo :rolleyes:

    michelle - nice to hear you've had a good day and great about the windfall. hope you get chance to take it a bit easy this week - having just seen your monday list I doubt you will. And well done on starting xmas shopping for the boys

    justamum - cant you arrange a house swop or something while TT is on, they d that sort of thing for Wimbledon dont they so why not IOM

    quillion - I like bikes too although I'll only ever ride pillion. OH has a goldwing and is France on it at the moment, last year he travelled through France and over the Alps into Italy with it. I would love to go with him but by the time DD gets old enough to be left alone he'll be too old to go

    mammamia2 - sorry to hear your sad news. I hope your Nan didnt suffer, its good you have managed to focus on something positive.

    viv and lilysue - perhaps we should arrange an eastern flylady meet. I think angelnikki (altho I havent seen her for a while - just checked it was March) is Yarmouth way too


    Have this evening
    • watched some TV with DD but cant for the life of me remember what :confused:
    • Put garden chair cushions and parasol away into shed
    • Moved table against wall
    • moved car back into garden (cant leave it out overnight :eek:)
    • cleared most of the carp from the kitchen
    • continued to reload WM
    • loaded DW and put on
    • Had web cam chat with OH
    • Had phone chat with my dearest friend on maternity leave. She took her house off the market last Thursday after a year and the estate agents sold it for her on Friday so now they are looking for somewhere FAST
    Off to bed in a mo in the hope it will be bright and sunny again tomorrow and that I can get an early start on a list!
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    I love motorbiikes that would be my idea of heaven but i imagine it makes things very difficult for you. Hugs xx

    I'll say! On the Monday DH has an appointment at the hospital and there is a race on. On Tuesday DS has an appointment at the hospital, which will be ok so long as Monday's race hasn't been postponed. The hospital is inside the race course! I bloomin' hate motorbikes!!!!
