    Evening all

    Greenbee and Johnina I hope your hands heal soon

    LL big hugs sweetie, I hope tomorrow is a better day x

    Valli - arnica for DS - ouch

    Busy week this week, DS2 having bottom braces put on tomorrow and I have shopping and packing and a ski lesson all to fit in so the flying maybe somewhat sporadic - house is descending rapidly in to chaos but with the builder in whilst we are out it doesn't seem worth it somehow.

  • *sneaking in while its late and hoping no-one notices so I don't get told off*

    Can I come back and be a FlyLady again please? I know I have been very naughty and not been here for a couple months and my poor flat has noticed the difference. As for my ironing basket....? It's about to get its own postcode it's got so big!

    I've not had much change in my life since I was last here. Still not working :mad: I lost the appeal with my ex-employers and after lots of umming and aahing decided I didn't want the hassle of tribunal. Good news is I passed the application stage and then some assesment tests for a job I really want and have the interview on the 17th so fingers crossed.

    Right, back to being a domestic goddess...

    I know I haven't used the airbed for ages... but I don't remember it taking this long to inflate in the past!

    It's not quite done, but I'm going to leave it till the morning now...

    Evening all

    I'm beginning to feel really out of the loop, but I'd better get used to it. I won't get the chance to do much else other than skim until next weekend. I'm kind of in this week, but still prioritising work and own stuff. Thanks to the tremendous trio - toots, soappie and pigpen.

    This week's list (bearing considerable resemblance to last week's :()
    MACAW
    Drink enough (non-alcoholic) fluids

    Own extras:
    1. order new car tyres
    2. print car repair quote and post to the guy who needs to pay
    3. phone DS2's new childminder and arrange trial play session
    4. post DH's form for miner's pension
    5. do thank-you cards for staff at DS2's school, taxi driver and escort - it's his last day on Tuesday

    This weekend:
    Fri - work on Y7 target spreadsheet - done
    Sat am - urgent flying - done
    Sat pm - shopping - done
    Sat eve - analyse Y9 data - done what I could as I'm waiting for the last
    set of data from a colleague
    I worked on this Sat evening, Sun lunch and Sun evening, so
    the rest didn't get done. Lost count of hours spent on this.
    Sun am - Y8 work scrutiny and lesson planning - must do this before
    school in the morning (lesson planning)/Mon evening (work
    scrutiny)
    Sun pm/evening - Y11 lesson for Monday - during PPM time

    Mon - could change the rest of the week, depending on whether we will
    have 'visitors'
    Tue - DS2's last day at his old school
    Wed - DS2 in hospital for teeth out, Y11 parents' evening
    Thu - DS2's first full day at new school
    Fri - DS2 going to breakfast club for first time and I'm due to pick him up
    from school

    DS1's GF is going to New Zealand for 3 weeks next Saturday, so he won't be a happy bunny for a bit.

    Hope you all have a good week, and hugs for all in need.

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.

    Morning all,

    My sleep pattern is all over the place, i fell asleep snuggling Ds2 in his toddler bed at about 8.30 last night. I woke up at 9.30 because my knees were killing me being bent for so long. I went downstairs to find OH had gone home so i promptly fell asleep on the sofa, where i stayed until 5.00.:cool: Then i was wide awake after checking on the boys and feeding the poor rabbits that should have been fed last night. I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee and am planning to do HH on the wii fit at 6ish.
