    What are you going to be doing Nicki
    I'm going to be selling Avon & carrying on with my voluntary work in my daughters school. I love the job in the school but due to funding they can't offer me a job. Now I have a paying job (if only commission) which I can work around my DD so no additional chilldcare costs especially during the holidays (I am NOT paying £50 A DAY for her to play football at a school which will cost me £5 a day to get her to!:eek:) and I don't have all the red tape associated with being on benefits. :D:j It does, however, mean I'm going to have to get even more organised with my time, especially as I will also be studying open university courses :eek:

    Flying...erm.....hmmm....I've put the shopping away, washed some dishes, put some others into soak, tried to work out what's wrong with DD (she's complaining she feels sick :() and cooked tea.

    Now I need to get some leaflets sorted to put out with my books tomorrow night. Here's hoping my printer doesn't throw a wobbler.
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Ah, I did Avon for a while a few years ago - my problem was my manager was a total waste of space but it was nice getting out and meeting other people - plus I got quite fit because at the time DS was still in a buggy!! Good luck with it Nicki.

    Flying wise, I've washed up tea dishes but am jittery as DH is out doing stuff to his bike and messing up my lovely clean surfaces - he's under strict instructions to keep it tidy; I've even growled menacingly under my breath but he just laughs! Kids in bed and I'm going to sit down and try to redo the knitting I messed up last night.

    Feeling jittery about tomorrow's CBT; everyone has said the first session can be quite hard but also quite healing. Time will tell!

    Mumof2 soak the shelves overnight in the bath in bio soap powder - or I think Valli uses soda crystals but not sure if she leaves them overnight? will make the dirt thats baked on so much easier - and get some ovenmate and you will have a sparkly oven in half the time.

    rachelet - good to hear you have mended! Dont do it ever ever again!!!!
    lostinrates -if you cant get them to take their shoes off at the door then an old sheet or towell at the door might help OR what about a basin of clean water outside the back door for everyone to dunk their feet in and an old towel inside the door to wipe them on - it might cut down on the mud inside
    sad dog lady - hope you are feeling brighter - its not an easy condition to manage (((hugs)))
    natty68 good to hear you are trying to establish a better morning routine - perhaps your next challenge should be to get dressed before 12noon.
