Hi everybody,
I'm very tempted to join this thread - would I have to wait until next week and just lurk (stalk?!) this week?

You can join in straight away, but don't attempt to catch up. Start with level 1 on tomorrow's list, then do Friday, and you can pick up the other rooms as they come round next week.

Stick to level one until you've got into a routine, as otherwise it can be a bit overwhelming!

Hi Everyone,

Well not alot done tonight but OH did the dishes and tidied the kitchen before he left tonight - yeah! He used to do this all the time but let it slip, some subtle hints from me about trying to do housework and result!

Started on the bedroom too and found yet another spider, this little blighter got away from me and now I'm scared to go to bed incase it gets me! Eek!

Can't remember who said about parking but I once was reverse parking into a tiny space and a mini bus pulled up beside me (on a wide street), I wondered what he was doing but continued parking (perfectly may I add) and he gave me the thumbs up - I was proud as punch! Especially when some guys are rubbish at parking, ha!

Well done Swinstie on the parking, I am useless if the space is too tight!

Night all xx

Didnt manage to get much done today and need to go shopping tomorrow,OH off too so that wont help,need to get his packing done and cut his hair as he is off on tour for 4 days from Friday.

Am terribly tired but cant sleep at the moment so the jobs are proving hard work.

Loved the parking story Rosepink,dont drive myself but OH is an expert. he is forever trying to get me to learn but he has no chance I keep telling him its the only thing he does for me so if I could drive I wouldnt need him at all.

All my love to Toots,its not the same without her.

Michelle cant add anything more than what the others have already said..so loads of hugs and take care.

Welcome newbies.

Hugs to everyone else.

Really pleased that you and SSL got to see toots today jjef Bet she was pleased to see you both.

Really hope she continues to improve and is home soon, the ole place is not the same without her. Perhaps we should all do another visualisation sometime this weekend. Can we do it for LL at the same time? What do people think?

I shall be out at the paid variety of work tomorrow but will look in tomorrow night.

Hugs for everyone, night night x

michelle i feel your pain, i am a secondary teacher with 2 small kids. I have been back at work for 6 months and have just come off ADs. My dad found it hard to accept that I had PNd. Just want you to know you are not a crap teacher, they sound a nightmare. I have never had to teach a class with 2 ta's. don't worry what people will be saying about you, they will prob be getting on with their own stuff, the school will carry on without you. do not worry about sending work in, people are paid money to sort cover work out, let them do the job they are paid extra for. xxx

Kaz thanks for that. I go to Norfolk about 3 - 4 times a year as have family there. We stay at Docking xx
