Morning all

Sounds like a few of you are in need of (((hugs))) and posi-vibes. Look after yourselves.

I'm cross with myself because I'm not managing to crawl out of bed any earlier than 7.30 - not early enough for all I've got to get through, if I still want to have a steady start to the day.

Breakfast eaten and cups of tea drunk, e-mails read, daily plate website visited - suppose I need to make a start and go eat a frog (i.e. deal with laundry in various stages, but mainly put clean stuff away)

all we got was Dudley Zoo:(

I'm sure they're going to have a great time, especially if it's been raining in the mountains around Yosemite, as the waterfalls will be quite spectacular.

Ooh, I've gone all nostalgic :rotfl:

Right, time to check the washing. Have an excellent day!

Mrs_B spoons winging their way to you. It make a difference when you have a GP who you feel really listerns to you, hopefully it doesnt take too long to find out what the cause of your ills are.

Kazm I hope you find Mr/Mrs mousey soon and coping vibes to deal with DD.

MrsChaos It doesnt matter what time you get up there never seems to be enough hours in the day.

Ive been to Occupatonal Health this morning and have been givn a provisional date for returning to work which is a month away ( as we have an announced OFSTED inspection and DR does not feel that I will be able to cope going back whilst that is happening) and although it will be a very gradual phased return, I am so happy :D:D as I love my job. Althopugh she has said that I an still unable to return to my studies, so I'll have to continue to stress and worry about how I will catch up with everyone on my return.

Feeling a little tired know so Im going to have a coffee and then see if I can get some of todays list done as I plan to try and walk the shops later to pick up something for dinner.

Good morning everyone! :j

I've got a ton of uni stuff to get on with, so I'm trying not to let myself get too carried away with sorting the house out

So far, I've got myself showered, dressed and coffeed up...
Also S&S bathroom, and got chilli out of the freezer for tea.

Level one in the bedroom has been done, so my remaining tasks are:
sort out clean washing
have a quick dust over bedroom
vacuum bedroom floor

And I'm sure I'll add some more on to avoid my uni work for another half hour!

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather while it lasts

Just had a very interesting session bouncing between Nat rail enquiries and The Trainline . I'm sure booking a journey used to be much simpler. How can the same journey cost two different prices???

Note to self - next time book earlier:mad:

Still can't face looking at comments on assignment so off to attack the house:rotfl:

ETA - what lovely weather???????????

I've put a load of washing on the line and another load in the wm. Brushed kitchen floor and back hall.... Paid a few bills.... Hubby talking of heading to beach tonight and i hate it when someone moves the goalposts, so answer will be no and he can wait until tomorrow as agreed. Of course if he feels like giving me a hand today they maybe it would be doable to go tonight.

Right i best get kids fed and sort the clean washing....
