    Funfairprincess I know what you mean about the Dyson- I did exactly the same and was absolutely mortified when I hoovered my lounge eugh!! But mine was cat hairs mostly

    well we have been open today at school and I am exhausted and fed up, some parents were lovely, other sooo rude!!! ah well you can't please everyone. Most of the TAs were in but only 3 teachers, so I have had no breaks, taught 42 children and am going in the bath very soon!

    Tonight I have loaded the WM and will load the TD (and repeat a few times lol) I may also put the hoover round down stairs
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    • Evening all [waves weakly]

      Chucked away some manky old clothes and makeup items from dressing table/chest of drawers (which calls for a spend up replacing them, IMO)
      Polished mirror
      Changed blown bulb in strip lights above mirror

      Bought new extra thick quilt and struggled to get cover on it (but cat now unconscious in it rather than on it - looks like case of being one with the duvet)

      Fed birds again. Blackbird loved the raisins.

      Decided kids are having jacket spuds. Whether they like it or not.

      Tried again to get my head around OU coursework. I just can't get my head around calculating carbon emissions from a chemical formula and relative atomic weights. Need someone to explain it to me. Will look on You Tube later.

      ***

      And tried to think of best way to say that very nice and sweet male doctor told me well done for going straight in to see him. But he is still referring me to hospital under the two week rule.

      Nope. There is no best way of saying it.

      Probably anything but the worst.

      But still. The two week rule, otherwise referred to as USC.

      Yeuch.

      Not too bad I think. Still plenty more to do...but, I have sorted out the box of photos/frames/albums that has resided in the spare room since we moved in almost two years ago. And I'm just about to tackle my 'in tray' (aka dumping ground for all the things I 'declutter' from my desk!). Well, that is once I've put the littleys to bed.

      I've just noticed your post JoJo. Sending you huge hugs and hoping that everything is OK.

      Right, see you later
