  • Ballet DONE! Dog weighed DONE! DD1's new glasses collected DONE! Car filled with petrol DONE (we have been!)

    Bought some big plastic storage boxes to keep baby and puppy away from cleaning products in the kitchen (low, open shelves). Phew!

    Sneaked in a M and S dine in for a tenner, and puppy has visited bright lights big city, well, town, for socialisation purposes.

    She is exhausted.

  • Blitzed downstairs today so slightly more civilised. How slovenly is this? Pulled out sofa and found a paper dated Aug 2010!!!

    Also some sofa covers washed, and emptied the hoover three times!

    Ordered DDs some presents from the baby on Amazon, and bought some rope adhesive for woodburner with my pinecone paypal money, thanks valli.

  • Puppy is snoozing like a baby having "consumed" the Sunday papers, or at least tried to. Am starting to think she is not a pedigree, and is actually a cross breed with a black panther. The size of her paws is something else, she looks a lot like the Exmoor Beast...

    Awake half the night with backache, thinking "is this it?" and worrying about stuff. Silly.

    Today I have decluttered the girls to school, walked the pup, phoned the vet, posted a letter and a note through a neighbour's door about puppy training.

    Think I might go back to bed, but also want to capitalise on the improved state of the house.

  • Just got a pic of the puppy who thinks cameras are edible.

  • No clues about the task? Take your calculator and a highlighter pen...you must be pretty numerate with a psychology degree?

    I think its targeting pupils and intervention tasks etc....I'm not 100% on all intervention options, but think I'm ok generally.
