  • Evening all!

    Since I got in from work I have:

    walked dogs for 45 mins
    made tea
    done dishes and collected all the dishes DH left upstairs :mad:
    2 lots of washing
    phoned mum
    washed kitchen floor (one of my dogs threw up as well)
    packed work out gear for a class tomorrow
    made lunch for tomorrow
    changed bed
    threw some rubbish out
    fed animals

    I had planned on much more but if I dont stop now I'll be overdoing things and then wont get to sleep early enough. I am up at 5.15 weekday mornings as I start work at 7.15..................

    My legs are back to normal after that mammoth walk at the weekend.

    Hugs to those who needs them - sorry another who skim reads!

    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    Evening everyone just a bit of catching up .....had a bit of an emotional day and am a bit washed out (no hugs required it was the result of a much needed discussion lets say) - not managed any flying apart from dailies

    Mummyyof5 oh honey how terrible for DH (and you) he must be gutted and with the LO saying that too - I hope LO makes a quick recovery and gets used to DH handling him again - if you feel you cant get the lists done while DH is around is there any other jobs that he could help with that you cant do - any DIY?
    Triker my goodness what a power of work you have done - I bet you will pay for that tomorrow though - hope you plan to rest now - IS DD feeling better now - poor love it must have been horrible for you both! (((hugs))) But YAY!!!!! thats great news about silky cockerel - he must have a smile on his face tonight!!!!
    diluvdiscounts well done to you for getting things under control - I am sure you will sort out the food side too - I certainly couldnt work in a cake shop - I would be trying everything!!!
    grateful you had better REST that back and thats an order!!!! You did far too much last week honey.
    83Rachel you had better be taking it easy too until you have seen the doc - please!!!!!
    MOJ2 awh huge (((hugs))) and my condolences for your loss - you certainly have had a tough time recently - I do hope things will improve for you all from now on - good to see you posting again xx
    Methekids another flylady who should not be overdoing it!!!!! be careful and I hope you feel the benefit of the extra few days off. Sometimes its necessary to concentrate on one job to get it fully done - your washing pile sounds like that - you will feel soooooooooo much better if you get it done!

    Rosepink toomuch sitting at the computer and knitting will give you bad neck and shoulders.
    JillD hope you have managed to get your cooking done - what a nightmare but well done to you for finding ways to rescue it.
    Mumto5 what a shame your nice day was spoilt - I dont suppose DS1 could have done it on purpose because he wanted to go with you or something like that???? Hope you can have your day out another time (((hugs)))
    Valli appalling customer service there! Needs to be reported at appropriate time. (((hugs))) for you for having 2 stroppy teenagers just now!!!
    Cyclingyorkie - :bdaycake:Happy Birthday - hope you have had a super day.
    Pooh what a dreadful day you have had -fingers crossed for a better day for you tomorrow (((hugs))) xx

    Everyone has been mega busy today! I have not had a good day at work, seem to have lost all confidence in my abilities as a teacher since new guidelines were introduced, got a 2 for last 2 inspections, one of them this academic year and yet internal system seems much worse:(. Any advice from fellow teachers would be much appreciated, I actually burst into tears today but fortunately in our office and not in front of the kids. I still love being in the classroom with the kids and feel that I am effective and have been told by my head of department that I am a good teacher so why do I not prove it when it comes to being watched:cry:
    Sorry for self indulgent rant,
    Flying wise I have
    Wm x 1
    washed out nappy buckets
    put washing on radiators
    admired mt new rotary dryer that Dh has been and fetched and put up valli it came with matching pegs!
