Morning all,

Well I'm not at work this morning cos I turned down work for a horrible class I've taught before, as I'm getting less tolerant of being treated badly now I've been supplying for over a year! Was hoping something else would come up, but it obviously hasn't, but that means more time for me to apply to a couple more jobs or arrange visits to them. I'm working this avo in a nice infant school where I was yesterday avo, in a reception class. Have put all of my suncream on cos yesterday we were out in the playground for most of the afternoon and I caught the sun a little bit. My hair is bleaching in the sun nicely though, so I'll look less mousey soon, and properly blonde again.

Need to get some antihistamines as I've only got one left, and my hayfever is definitely getting worse. Will do some ringing schools in a minute, as I may be able to visit one this morning.

Hope everyone is well.

PS Flying-wise I've decluttered the living room, and just need to run the hoover around, as it's still quite tidy from Sunday's mammoth clean.

Good Morning,

Hope everyone is well, haven't caught up on the post so hugs to everyone who needs them, and hugs to everyone anyway!

I'm feeling very lathargic this week, i'm not feeling 100% and feel very demotivated. It's the time of the month, I know that doesn't bother some of you but mine are always so bad. Even doing my dailies and 2 kids is wearing me out. I wonder if there is anything I can take to give me a lift. I've tried, coffee and energy drinks in the past - but I think I need some supplements. If you guys have tried anything, any advice would be most appreciated.

My list this week still looks like this: I manage to achieve a full house last week, but I think I burnt myself out! I'm gonna try and take things easy this week and just do Level 1 and then see if I feel like a Level 2.

Well done on getting enough marks for uni, Pigpen and glad DS will be home soon. More gentle cuddles for Hazel and (((hugs))) for the little ones, they must hate seeing her like that.

Morning all

Toots I've done the living room this week already so first star please

?chocolate moulds?
DS1 wants to melt some chocolate and remould it in ball shapes for a school project. I don't really want to buy moulds - anyone got any bright ideas as to how he can do this - we are talking smaller than a ping-pong ball but larger than a marble.

Morning all!
What a supportive and friendly bunch you all are! Thanks for the star and for your kind words!

I managed to do everything on the list yesterday - that is except for turning the mattress. Decided that going for a quick pint at the newly-refrubed pub down the road was more appealing - can't think why!

Though the kitchen and bathroom look much better, the living room is a disaster - and embarrassingly, I've just heard from someone who is going to swing by after work - so I won't have time to tidy up! So this will be too late, but will do all of Wednesday's list when I get home!

Do they need to be perfectly symmetrical? Could you do something make a round mould from a double layer of foil and then when almost set, smooth off the edges?
