    Didn't get chance to post final list last week, but pleased that I managed level 1 & 2, Mon, Tues and Wed and most of Thurs... Fri was a wipeout, but felt exhausted for some reason (maybe all the hard work and late nights at the beginning of the week :o), but was happy with the progress in week 2.

    This being my third week, I can suddenly see how it gets easier - there were no grubby marks on the sofa, as I cleaned it last week, and it is still ok, and my kitchen surfaces are still clear (2 whole weeks :j), so feel I have a head start on tomorrow!

    Still a way from a star (think I could probably do it if I had 2 days for each list - I think I've done well, and can finish off the next day, but then there's the new list fighting for my attention!)

    Wish I could keep up with the thread a bit more, might read a bit now, but moves way too fast for me...

    *Just flitting in and out...*

    Survived school - the kids were on very good form, obviously hadn't been let out for the last 11 days and spent them playing on PS3 and eating anything with high sugar and E numbers, so were climbing the walls. I was like pigpen :D *growl snarl snap bite*

    I've dinner and washed up. That's it. Will do more tomorrow...

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday aj and pen pen's DS!!:bdaycake:

    Flying tonight - cleared up some of the excess paper in my classroom left by supply teacher, did a load of washing when I got home - need to put it away now.

    Hugs to Emma and Sandy because of your puddytats.
    Happy birthday ajmoney.

    School was ok - inset day, so deadly dull, and I've been coughing all day! Don't know what's got into Deputy Head, as when I did the form this morning and gave her the doctor's note, she was actually nice to me, and said I still didn't look great today. Bit fed up though as supply teacher hasn't marked the literacy work - what is the point of having a supply teacher in, if you then have to come back and mark all of the work?! When I was a supply teacher, we weren't allowed to leave until everything had been marked, and our timesheets weren't signed until then either!

    Colleague who has returned since being signed off with stress was only allowed to stay for the morning of the Inset, as occupational health have said she has to work part time this week, and because she forgot to get a doctor's note to sign her off for half term, she wasn't insured to be there either! Just had a text from her to say that the counselling session she had tonight went well, and was very emotional, and I'm going to pop round after school for a cuppa and a catch up tomorrow as she is working the afternoon tomorrow.

    Well I'm off to get ready for bed now so that I can watch Ghost Whisperer in bed. I've done something nasty to my hip as it sort of popped out of place when I was coughing earlier, and it really hurts now, so I'm going to put my feet up and take some ibuprofen.

    Pigpen I've got quite a few LaSenza bras - they are very comfortable, but I'm of the small-breasted variety. My friend who is a EE has bought lots of bras from there, and been pleased though.

    Hope all of the poorly flyladies and flychildren feel better soon.

    Best-laid plans and all that... I didn't get back from picking DS2 up until after 5pm. As soon as his tea was ready, someone called and asked me to translate some German documents (and I had somewhere for them to sit down and wasn't ashamed of our LR for a change :T). Then DS2's bath and tea x3 for the rest of us. Just had some pudding, a cuppa and 2 pages of the thread. Can't believe it's already so late. [STRIKE]I'm about to read DS2 his story and take DH and friend (old gentleman with walking difficulties) to the club.[/STRIKE] (DONE) The list for the rest of the night seems endless - and that's without starting on the LR. I don't think I'll post again until tomorrow. Must clear up after tea/S&S kitchen/have a bath/get stuff ready for tomorrow/plan a lesson/check lesson plans for tomorrow (internal inspection starting)/think about what I've missed, because it feels like I've forgotten something important.

    Rose - thanks for the good wishes, but MrChaos is a champion sulker and can keep this up for weeks. At the moment I haven't got the energy to try and bring him round.
    Sarah - you and DD will be fine. I know it's hard at the beginning (I went back to work with both of my DSs when they were around 4 months old - had no choice), but I'm sure it will go well. She'll probably have a great time as soon as your back is turned, while you worry about her. Sending you lots of 'good first day back' vibes.
