    Torrential rain here. I'm really end of week exhausted as well.

    Flying-wise, I have a little bit to do to finish the main bedroom, and then I'll do the bathroom, it usually only takes me half an hour. DD died her hair though, so there may be some extra scrubbing!

    Thinking strong 'good lesson' vibes for sexy - I agree with valli, not only have they changed the lesson to after break, but they put in maths assessments before. Bet there's a wet break too. I'm appalled at the way they are treating sexy - and to those who've not met her, she's very committed and conscientious, definitely doesn't deserve the way they are behaving.

    Okay, off to start with the washing up. I need to get all next week's lessons planned as well, as I don't want to spend the whole weekend doing them - off on a school trip to France for two days on Tuesday!!

    Gutted that I don't get to join in today unless by some miracle I get this job application finished with time to spare.

    Do you put the 'half hour to yourself' in Level 1 often? I want to do that one! ;-)

    ajmoney that's so sad about your FIL, Dementia is an awful thing, and the deterioration is truly shocking, my MIL's mam was in a home with it, it upset me everytime I went to see her x

    My aunt/godmother is in a home with alzheimers and I am ashamed to say I can't face going to see her, we have never seen each other that much so it is not as heartless as it sounds. I think because I am removed from OHs family I find it easier with their dad than they do. I have to admit I was dreading how he would be last night but it was ok.

    Thanks for all you positive vibes, it is good to know that people are there. Go flyladies x

    Morning all rain, rain and more rain here, so grateful my drain problem was fixed.

    ock 'em dead vibes for today xx

    We have had more heavy rain overnight and things in the town are flooded and there's more heavy rain due today. If it continues, I may just consider beginning to build an ark....

    I have full confidence in you getting that built by 4pm so don't dissappoint me:rotfl:

    AJ big hugs for you all, sometimes it takes somebody slightly removed (not implying you don't care deeply) to be able to assess what is really happening. I hope he can get the care he really needs.

    Sexy
    drying up vibes so it's not wet play and be strong, we know you can do it sweetie

    Just doing dailies and pottering this morning, plus loads of bits on here, invigilating later.

    Ebay free listing on Sunday for anybody like me who hasn't got as far as putting the stuff on ebay yet :o

    Often on a Friday/weekend list cause Piggers loves us really :D

    Good luck with your application. You could do 15 minutes flying here and there if you go brain dead and need a break.
