valli / MrsChaos - I am hoping to get into my new classroom tomorrow to fly for a few hours; glad you both had succesful days

Wish I could say that it's a new classroom. Just years and years worth of gibble, especially in the storeroom. I moved schools 10 years ago and brought a lot of stuff with me. Then I moved classrooms a few years ago and put all my stuff into a storeroom that was already really full, without having the time to sort it properly. This clearout is long overdue.

I've managed to strike a few things off the list, but added more. Tea made, eaten and cleared away. DS2 on his way to bed. I'm going to make some space on the LR floor and negotiate the best time for the Wii fit with DH. An early night is in order, I think, and maybe I'll have a little drink.

Horrid horrible commute today so on getting home all I've done so far is make dinner. Meaning all I've done is create dishes OH is trying to do some sort of techno wizardry so have escaped to see how you all are.

Pig Pen thanks for coming back and starting this week's thread, maddening to hear all the goings on, rant away if it helps in some small way xx

Determined to keep my clean record of waking up to a shiny kitchen since flying so, well, I'd better go and do it.

Miffed that my commute might be horrible for a wee while to come

:wave: to everyone flying this week

DD's room is now all done except for the bedding which i'll do tomorrow.
Boys room is half done so i think we'll be at it tomorrow.
Just stopping for some food and then i'll do the kitchen.

Raining here and the line was full of stuff so it can just stay there until tomorrow.:mad:

Love to all xx

Evening all! I always feel bad that I don't reply individually to everyone but by the time I've read through I've forgotten who said what!!! A couple of things I have to say though....

Pigpen - I don't know how you cope with all that washing! I panic when my basket is full and that's only 2 loads worth and happens once a week max!!!
Valli - love the bike lock story! That's so something I would do....including the falling asleep part!!!

Today has been ever so slightly rubbish!! I got called in to see my boss and told I have to have coaching as I'm under performing . He did go on to say that what I do is good but I'm not very visual about it...some of the others do fancy project plans and reports but I'm much more hands on and just focus on getting the job done. The worst part was I burst into tears and sat and blubbed at him the whole time :o:o. I'd normally manage to keep it together in front of him no problem, I don't know what my problem is these days I find myself crying at anything and everything....happy or sad!!!

Ah well, the flying went well so that's a start! Here's my list update and in addition I did all the hoovering and I'll do all the mopping another day:

I'm not cramming it all into the weekend this week! Starting tomorrow.

Hello all x

kazmeister

The best part of an hour ago I came up to the computer to get my list but DD had been at the computer :mad: something always goes wrong after she has had sticky mitts on it, this time the wireless mouse wouldnt work (and still wont) so after much ranting at her she has brought me the mouse from her computer so I now have a list which I will go and do a bit more from while I wait for the chicken in the oven to finish cooking.

Anyway flying

Tea all done
Tea cleared away
DW loaded

MrsChaos

Just popping in to say that I've done for the day, after clocking up 31 min on the Wii fit - aerobic exercise only. If I carry on with this (alternating with strength/yoga) and stick to not eating biscuits etc (none since Saturday afternoon :T) I should loose at least a couple of pound by next Thursday. Only to hit the patisseries in Paris and come home to do it all again....:o
See you all in the morning. Hugs/coping vibes to everyone who's had a stressful day. xxxx

Valli

well I managed to put the ironing away, iron some more and peg out the washing as it was drying up outside. I have also done a declutter in the DR which is a hotspot magnet...must be on a lay line that room - as in 'I'll just lay it here and deal with it later'.
*gives self stiff talking to*
Valli - it is LATER now ... get it sorted.

neighbour came round with a brown envelope, addressed to DS ( posties manage to misread house numbers DESPITE the fact that it's CLEARLY marked *rolleyes* probably because some of the front doors round here on on the sides...DS has homework to do over the summer muhahahahahah

Somewhere in my house (kitten accessible) is very dusty as the kitten appeared covered in dustbunnies. My guess is she ise getting behaing the fridge freezer which I can only move and clean behind when I do a complete defrost. Anyway it won't be so bad now I have a fly kitty to help me. Cat, however, is sulking...
Am attempting to get pics but nothing very clear atm..kitten THOROUGHLY investigating PC and set up and sniffing mouse :rotfl:
