    Before I forget - hugs to everyone who's had bad news or isn't feeling great. Hope your stay in hospital goes as smoothly as possible, toots.

    I'm in this week, although I'll be working to my own list (and maybe achieve 10% of what I'd like to do :(). Thanks to pigpen and co for the fred.
    Hope your meeting went well this morning Mrs C. Always stressful when the goalposts move which they invariably do, constantly!

    Thank you! It was actually very positive (Why do the things you dread sometimes work out so well?). I was congratulated on things I'd done well and had pointers on what to improve (deadline for revised version of report is next Monday :eek:). I was also able to say my bit about how the task could have been made much easier/less time consuming and I could bring up an urgent issue that needs to be sorted. Considering that I didn't have a break from 8.15 to 2.45, at least I got something out of it.

    The Chaos list for the week (first draft):
    my inhalers M T W T F S S
    DS2's exercises M T W T F S S
    HW with DS2 M T W T F S S
    Tea and clear up M T W T F S S
    school stuff M T W T F S S
    HHC in each room LR DR kitch stairs/hall Bedr BR DS2's room
    15 min laundry away M T W T F S S

    Must do's (to follow)

    Have a good week, everyone.

    Have made a decision but not sure re working/doing the course and thinking to lessen the welsh classes, but hopfully still doing the work(at home) so that I can do the 10 hours in work(which is in a welsh school so still beneficial(sp??))....confused.com till I speak to the head and welsh tutor, hopefully both tomorrow.

    Haven't caught up on the thread as have been reading notes that friend loaned me for the teacher's assistant's course, so ((hugs)) all round to those in need/ want xx

    apart from anything else you DON'T want him 'under your feet' interfering with flying;)

    Anybody with a direct line to Toots please tell her she's in my thoughts...
