    :hello:Hi dusty, and all my flylady friends! Love the story - and I always enjoy your choice of quotes dusty. I haven't changed my signature yet, because I still feel it's right for me at the moment!

    sarah - by coincidence, I was talking about some of the children we teach and saying how I sometimes wish I could just take them home and cuddle them better. We just have to make the most of the opportunites we have with them. What you do really does matter.

    Okay, all my teens on what DS2 has described in the diary as an Insect Day:confused::D, so when they've crawled out of their nest, and before they beetle off into town, I am going to be flying around them. No spending the day on here pretending to be working...

    Love and hugs to all the poorlies, and huge get well vibes radiating towards you from the South East (or what I recently heard described as the Far South East in a weather forecast. Sounds positively exotic)

    Anyone up for a HHC starting in five minutes?? ETA crossposted PenPen - I'll join yours!!
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
  • am quietly surprising myself!

    have completed list of things to do - made 3 appointments I'd been putting off..filled in some forms and paid some bills.

    Obviously OH won't be able to see this - but I've got a warm glow nevertheless!

    The half hour to myself was a nice lie in as the girls were sleepy after yesterday's outing :) I am tackling DD's bedroom as well as continuing with the "great sort-out " so lots of boxes and cupboards being emptied and filing being done :T Never mind a boot sale though, I could open a shop with all the stuff I'm accumulating here :rotfl:

    I also need to find time to get stuck into my coursework as I have let it all slide and have not done a single thing study wise for too long :( 2 lots of untouched coursework to do in 2 1/2 months... :o It will probably be about 8pm once girls are in bed before I get down to it, but MUST get motivated :p
    Love and compassion to all x
