Ahhh, that's how everyone does it!!!!!! :T:T:T When I've got about 5 pages to read, I scribble notes on a piece of paper, but by the time I get to type it all up, none of it makes any sense anymore, so I lazily type "and hugs to everyone" and any specifics I remember!
Now I can be a bit more thoughtful about it!
Thank you so much - that's now officially the most useful post of my day!!!:)
Glad to know i'm good for something
One pre warning though, strikethrough doesn't work unless you use the strikethrough button on MSE - I learned the hard way and copied the whole weeks tasks through and had to re do the whole lot :rotfl:It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice0 -
rosepink - know that area well, my family live round there!
I doubt if I'll get anything except minimum flying done this week - the last week before the halfterm (or end of term in my school, which calls it a six term year) is assessment and Progress Tracker week, and I am up to my eyes in paperwork (well, mostly pc work) which I have to get done before the end of Thursday.
I'm popping in each day to keep up with the news, but not likely to get any stars!
pigpen - fab news re ex overdraft!
sexymouse - you need halfterm!
Love and hugs to AnW's mum, Lady-Liberty, and toots.It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -

Piggers well done on the overdraft de-cluttering - now onwarda and upwards!
I have bought my class a present - the WHOLE class!

I buy them EVERY YEAR and they end up in other classrooms - it's flippin' annoying!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
