    Good then :) You've done your good deed for the day now, so I say cup of tea and a book (well a book for me, maybe a spreadsheet for you?) ;)

    Posting on here counts as relaxation. :)

    I've just made a list - 4 things I've already got done today and 13 that need doing before bedtime. Will try to motivate myself by not allowing myself back on here until I've done some items from the list.
    Starting again 13/4/19
    Home loan 1: £21,102.50 Home loan 2: £7,698.99

    Have now reached 10/17. Need to get moving on the rest or it won't all get done. At least the weather's lovely - I have more energy when there's sunshine and I feel warm. :)

    16/17 and admitting defeat. The 17th was "tidy desk". Oh well. :o

    Tonight I am thankful for
    1) Sunshine :)
    2) Helpful and encouraging friends :)
    3) Kids actually helped me start sorting and dealing with some of the piles of STUFF :shocked:
    4) School holidays :D
    5) You lot - thanks for keeping me on track :T

    Your September is my August....it goes in all too fast :cool:
    I have also just remembered on my second day back, I have a difficult meeting with a notoriously difficult HT. So for that I deserve five of these ----> :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
    Deep joy ;)

    Oh no! Hope it goes better than you expect.

    List for today has 16 items so far but will probably get more added as I think of things during the day.

    I've done 2/9 Lois but as one was cut the grass and took ages I'm awarding myself a pat on the back and a wee sit in the sun for a while:D
