    Oh I dunno...I think Dame Ellen is an OSer at heart. I bet [STRIKE]she [/STRIKE] you got loads of practise (have I spelt it correctly valli?) on those boats :D
    actually in this sentence it's not a verb therefore practice!
    Just checked out OJK's OCD t shirt. It took me some time to find it. There is a very good reason that I dont venture far from the OS/Green fingers board. It's blooming scary out there!

    Morning everyone. Working my way through the living room doing an area at a time. CD racks have been washed and CDs wiped. Have also decluttered loads to go to charity shop tomorrow. Kitchen and bathroom has been S&Sed.

    Soappie Sounds like you are doing a great job with your floor.
    Johanne Glad to hear BFs son is ok.
    Mudbath More hugs for you all. Zapping vibes sent for those stones.
    sexymouse. Hope you get in touch with your union rep. Big Hugs.
    greenbee Sending safe journey vibes.
    Toots and Lady L Thinking of you both xx
  • toots hope it gets sorted tomorrow, sorry you're having trials.

    soappie think of all the money you're saving, we've just had a quote of 440 quid to do one room...

    Have a serious case of CBA today, but must do something...2 loads of washing done anyway.

    Feeling a tad pleased with myself, as I've just spent the morning making and printing off all of the maths worksheets for my yeargroup and post-it noting them to say how many copies I need of each. Hopefully this will mean that after school we can concentrate on getting our writing assessments marked and also getting the resources for the other subjects sorted. My colleague is doing my break duty tomorrow as I've got my lesson observation, so I will try and get my photocopying for the week for maths done in advance if I have a spare moment.

    I'm freezing now as I've been sitting still too long, so off out to do the food shop and eat some lunch now to warm up. May stick the sheets in the wash before I go so that I can stick them in the TD when I get back home.

    Thanks again for all of the advice everyone has given me. Fingers crossed that this will be a better week.

    sexymouse xx

    .

    Yes, that's what's keeping me going. Once it's finished it will have cost me about £50.00 for varnish (the sugar soap I've had lurking for years).

    DS has surfaced, china cabinet's back in place so I can reload it. But I need to nip up the Co-op for a chicken - I forgot to take one out of the freezer for dinner tonight and it just won't thaw in time...

    Been out with a friend and kids this morning to a big garden centre and camping centre so I now have the stuff I needed for DS expedition at great prices and treated myself to a pair of new pilates pants and smart v neck.

    Need to pop to town next, then collect the NCT stuff. After that I'll be home alone for an hour so hope to crack on with my list at that point.
