Hi :wave:
Wasn't too bad today (no kids in until tomorrow), but I'm tired anyway and still have an armful of stuff to do.
Me too. Just Year 7 in today, and the ones I met who are going to be in my tutor group (we have vertical tutor groups - or family groups, that is, all mixed ages) don't seem too insane - yet. We have an activity day tomorrow, so I should get a pretty good idea by the end of the day!
DD has washed up. I did suggest that she picked up today's list, but apparently she didn't get up until one, and barely had time to do the washing up....:eek: I think I may need to strop a bit.
polkadot - Huge congratulations!!
Hi G&B - How's Miss G&B? Well I hope. When are you back to your studies?
Lady Liberty - huge but gentle hugs for you.
Love and hugs also for all of you who would like one or who need one.It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -

Not naughty, a little mischevious maybe, but not naughty:p
LO is doing very well, much happier now that i have been up to the school and sorted out the horrible bully who has terrorised her for the past year or so. He is not allowed to speak to her or go anywhere near her, long may it continue or i may have to take matters in to my own hands.
Hope you are doing well and not overdoing it. xxThe trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -

My Flylady efforts have been interrupted this evening, but you'll be glad to hear that it was by something else MSE at least.... OH's M&D asked us round for dinner to help with the leftover roast from yesterday ( We were all there for Dinner yesterday), which although it has meant I haven't been cleaning for a few hours does mean I can put every planned meal back a day, so the mealplan has almost sorted itself! :-). Other than that, so far:
