    Friday ~ Bathroom and Study/Pc Area Done!!!:D:D:D
    Level One

    Level Two
    Level Three


    I've also done an hour on the allotment, and quite a bit of my planning.

    I still haven't finished though - keep getting distracted. The new Year 7 groups haven't been sent to me yet, but according to my head of dept, they haven't paid any attention to our requests, so instead of two French and one Spanish, I'll be getting three Spanish. Not especially happy about that. I have an ancient and very dusty O level, so I'll be learning it along with the students I guess...it just means far more work, as I don't have any resources built up for Spanish. We're also getting observed this week, oh joy.

    I'm up in London tomorrow, at The Languages Show, and quite looking forward to it! Pity the forecast is so horrible for Sunday, as I was hoping to do a bit more gardening then.

    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Ok ok:o..... I have done NOTHING today:eek: (apart from washing)

    I did have my sign language course this morning and we had Wii Fit Plus delivered so I've been on that most of the afternoon:D

    DH would like me to say he did put up the new loo roll holder... so that is one thing done in the bathroom;)

    Have a great weekend ladies! I'm off to London tomorrow:j Might do a few bits Sunday but next week I WILL do good:A

    Nap had.. just going to do dinner in a minute..

    I have done some christmas shopping... I need to get DD2's rug and a main gift for DS2. I then need loads of stocking fillers for everyone as they have none.. DD1 is easy.. smellies slap and socks! The boys are not so simple. I need to get everything down and see who has what and go from there I think.

    I will declutter and clean the kitchen while I am doing dinner.

    DD2.. 12.. purple.. stars.. dogs.. and a little geeky too.

    (all my children are geeks lol)

    The others are all sorted.

    OH I just ordered a ring, a dressing gown as his is dead and TINY.. and he isn't tiny.. I got him a couple of tops and a new hoody.. all to replace the ones I flinged lol.. I just flung 2 fleeces which he hasn't yet noticed.. but his mum is getting him a new one for christmas.

    So...........

    DS1 is having smellies, books and some cash.. he's done just about
    DD1 is having... ooh.. thought of something for DD2.. (PAYG phone) new phone & DSlite.. that is more than enough.. she's done
    DS2.. no idea..
    DD2.. rug and other than that no idea.. oh I just said.. PAYG phone..
    DS3.. webbook thing.. he's done
    DD3.. webbook thing.. she's done
    DD4.. Tiger suitcase & 'stuff'.. she's done
    DD5.. Ladybird suitcase & 'stuff'.. she's done

    GF.. smellies and some cash to spend on herself.
