    Good morning, another gorgeous day.
    I concentrated on the living room and all downstairs floors yesterday instead of the kitchen. They are all shiny and clean.
    I will be attempting to do both master bedroom and kitchen today, so a bit of a catch up with help from DS2 before he goes to work.

    Best of luck Valli on your observation. I am sure all will go well. DS1 started his placement before half term and taught his first lessons ever yesterday.

    lil_me I would go for it! My MIL paid for all of us (6) to go to Australia a few years ago, something we would never have done. I felt rotten taking her money at first but it was something they all still talk about. The only time they had flown and they got to see their cousins. They built relationships that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

    nicki, tke it easy, you are right to pace yourself. It depends on what your tutor is like but most are understanding. In my final year every TMA was late except the final one that HAS to be in on time. Sometimes you just have to get a pass, 40 % ? on one that doesn't click and then you can concentrate better on the next one.

    Morning all,

    Just caught up on the thread. Have the day off work today as going to visit and look around a school this afternoon (the application form that I did yesterday that took 1 1/2 hours to do). As I had the afternoon off for that, I thought I may as well tell the agency I wasn't free this morning too, so that I could go and get my legs waxed now the nicer weather is about and before the local college break up for summer. Got an appointment at 10 and it's only costing £5.50 for a half leg wax. May be there a while though cos they tend to take a bit longer as they are still training.

    Sorry to report that I didn't do any more of my list after last posting, as went to work in the avo and then went to body combat after work, so was so tired after dinner that I went to bed early. OH did do some of the washign up whilst I was at the gym though, so the sides are a little bit clearer. Have a day off from gyming today but back to body combat tomorrow evening, then aqua thursday.

    Off to go and air the bed now and dust the bedroom. I will get some of my lists done! Then I'm off to find some breakfast and get dressed.

    Anyone want to join me in an early HHC 8.30-9 if you're not on the school run or rushing to work?

    Looking forward to meeting your new arrivals LadyL, and glad to hear that you're still managing to stay positive. If you need me, you know where I am.

    Had a cracking headache so didn't really get much done last night, but early night seems to of worked and headache is gone (for now) so hopefully I will get off my a*se tonight and get something done!! :) Tea is in fridge defrosting while at work so atleast one thing will be ready when I get home.

    embb I went past that new Asda on Sunday, looks good from the outside, wise decision of DH not to let me in though!! hehe I'd of been in there ages and boys wanted to get to the beach :) In case you havem't put your bin out yet, the sun is warm but we have a bit of a cool breeze down here at the moment :)
    Lady-L enjoy your new bundles of fluff :) my 2 are now 9 months old and still as crazy (if not more) as the day we brought them home! hehe
    Will try greenbea's idea with the oven, the last time I did mine properly was just after I got the kittens (they kept getting in the oven when the door was open!!!) so desperately needs doing but will do it a little at a time.
    Think I need to do my WM cleaning again though, I ran it empty with nothing in at all, if you use bleach does any of it stay and then end up ruining your clothes at all? That's the only thing that would worry me :confused:
    *Hugs* for all who need them, hope your feeling better pigpen and toots is doing well
