    Has anyone called Tag and Juliejim a doctor for starting so early!!

    DS is going to try another full day at school today. DD has come downstairs with stomach pains:eek:. Several bugs going round school so can't decide if she's got one of them or not. Will decide in ten minutes:rolleyes:.

    Going to walk the frogs and then start my list and then study....I really, really must study.

    Wishing you all a lovely day xx
  • Morning Ladies!

    Must get on with some studying today (doing an extra day again this week to meet my deadline). Will be aiming for 3 x 1.5 hour sessions. Good luck with your studies today, Mudbath.

    Will try to hoover/clean my bedroom, too, and do a few things from my personal 'Extra 10' list:

    * Check around for suits offers for DH
    * Collect up tel nos of useful people (e.g. plumber) and list in one place
    * Find DD's music certificates/frames and bring up to date
    * Improve internet connection to sitting room (use a bridge?)
    * Christmas List - start working out pressies
    * Chase compost bin delivery
    * File tax return on-line
    * Snugburner Aga conversion? Check out
    * Signage for house: look at options/cost
    * Book flu jab

    Eeeeeeek. :eek: That list looks mean!!!!!

    Back in full swing tomorrow when I'll do the hall & sitting room - need to clear out/mop the hearth so I'll want an hour or two to get it all done.
