    Morning

    I have to go to the dentist midday for a bit more patching up so I probably won't get everything done today. Especially if I decide to try and sort the 2nd hottest hotspot in the house - the alcove in the kitchen. I might clean out the pantry (more a tall food cupboard) instead.

    I have a thing about oven trays when they get to the stage that I can't keep them clean any more but feel it's wasteful to keep chucking them. Anyway as they are on the list today I think I will chuck the lot and get some new ones down town (at the poundshop - or are these rubbish - should I invest?).

    Morning all.

    I'd like to be in again this week (bit late, sorry :o). I will fly as and when I can - I have a very busy week with work this week. In my defence, at the weekend I was in Cardiff (work, not fun), then yesterday I had to go to Birmingham. Tomorrow I am in Leeds and next Monday, in London. The days in between, I need for preparation. So there may well be no flying at all this week, depending how much work is needed :(.

    Meanwhile, I hope everyone is well :grouphug:? I don t have a hope of catching up with the tread this week, but the two consolations are that at least I get paid for the work (and it isnt always this busy) and after next Monday, I have a couple of very quiet weeks - hoping to keep them that way and get ahead with the hosue and garden.

    And last but not least, thanks to the threesome for all their hard work in preparing the thread :A

    I am now in full panic mode!!!!!! I don't want to go back to work, I don't want to leave dd with some strange woman in some strange house and I don't want to have to get up at 6.30am!!!!

    I remember thinking like that when I went back to work after Miss A was born. I had been off for 18 months (combination of work related stress and mat leave) and didn't want to go back. But I really enjoyed it, I was lucky enough only to have to go part time moneywise, it meant as well that I was just me and not mummy for the hours that I was at work. I am sure you will be fine and we will all be with you sending you positive vibes to get you through :) Why not treat yourself to something with your first pay packet, it doesn't have to be expensive maybe a magazine you've not read for ages or a take away and a bottle of wine.

    I meant to post this last night! Hope you have a good day and got up on time :)
