    Well, got a takeaway tonight to celebrate :) got some other things from the supermarket as well so definitely a spend day :)

    It's nice to be at home and not have much to do! Went for a walk and sat out in the garden - bliss :D

    I'm off to my new school tomorrow - I'm nervous!

    Yesterday was NSD number 17 and today was number 18 so have made my target :j

    Well the school was good today - I am SO shattered now! Going back again tomorrow, so hopefully things will be falling into place a bit more. Also get to have a meeting with the HoD tomorrow so can sort out some more things.

    Had another NSD too :j

    jo - I've not been shopping yet, am still mulling it over :)
