    Happy Birthday Willow

    Penelope Penguin - Is it the best chocolate cake in Yorkshire for tea then? I am just looking for my car keys.... Happy birthday!

    Still ploughing on through, and still at the frustrating stage when it looks worse than it did at the start. On the positive side I have found several things I have been looking for for ages. Not sure how much I will get done today - my book people order is out for delivery....

    Got myself a new kettle yesterday, my whistle one is going through gas like no tomorrow so it's gonna be put away.:(

    DD came home yesterday to tell me how she was pinned against a wall at school and dragged to the girls toliets at dinner time (DD is suppose to use the medical room toliet), thankfully when she was pinned a playground assistant seen it and went and got her away. :eek:

    well done on your exam results.


    Best go find list.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Check doors and windows for draughts and make a plan of action for dealing with them This is much needed here so very cold here!!

    Am really quite content though as lot of my 'Others' have already been dealt with this week. Also got out my winter duvet this morning which I have spread out on the bed to air before the changing of linen later.

    MUST DO's
    Work through first assignment draft, reference, finish up - Passed to mum for proof reading
    Begin new OU weeks study

    Think once I am back and have done my flying I might sit down and reference the assignment. I hate referencing so I have to get it done.

    Anyway, hugs, love and spoons all round
