    Hello! I popped in earlier and wasn't sure whether to post on yesterday's thread or to start a new one - so I just mooched off again waiting for someone else to decide!
    I'm glad we're here though because writing my list really helps me to get things done.... here's mine
    • Walk dog for free exercise - done one just before the downpour, 2 more to go today - done 2 now!
    • Write 1 lesson plan - done
    • Do a job application - its a job that I do really want so should spend a fair chunk of time getting it perfect - actually went quite well so did 2!
    • Write a 500 word proposal - I know what I want to write I just have to do it! - done
    • Do a wash and dry naturally - done
    • Maybe wash the towels if the weather improves - abandoned hope!
    • Change the bed - done
    • Give OH his easter pressies - half price Ferrero Rocher (his favourite) and a £2 Creme Egg egg - he loves choccie so should be happy with that! - very happy with them, I got a big Caramel egg
    • Hoover house - done
    • OH making yummy veggie indian banquet for me for tea - sweet potato curry, naan bread, onion bhajis, samosas and chana masala - can't wait! Its a sacrifice for him as he's a big meat eater but will do veggie once every blue moon - going to start peeling in a minute to spur OH on to cooking
    • Have a NSD - am really trying for one today - OK so far
    That's it for me - have a good choccy filled day

    Had a very productive day - am very pleased with myself! I am completely on track with my work plan for the Easter hols, so happy with that, hope I don't run out f steam over the coming week!
    Right - off to the kitchen to get tea started.....

    Lovely and sunny here today, there are advantages to living on the south coast. Weatherman said it should be nice most of the week too :)

    I do it all because I'm scared.
