Hugs msgnomey - that's awful that they didn't give you the job after all of your time invested in it.
Get well vibes to Meggie and Maxonian.
Well I've nearly swallowed a HUGE frog today - I sat down for 2 hours this afternoon, read The Twits and wrote 3 weeks worth of literacy plans! I've got 9 days of it put into the lesson plan proforma now too, but going to get the rest into it tomorrow as I'm a bit bored with it all now. I'm so pleased that I've managed to get it all onto paper at least - it's like when I had essays at school - the hardest part was starting to write it! It wasn't quite so scary once I got into it.
I've also done 2 loads of washing, the food shopping and meal planning and been on a 2 mile walk with a friend.
We're going out to lunch tomorrow for a 70th birthday party so going to try to finish it all tomorrow morning before we go, so that I can enjoy the rest of the day.
Hugs to all who need or want them. I'm off to bed now,

Just posting my final flying list for the week My frog list changed as the week went on but I still managed to do 9 things that I probably wouldn't have done. I would have done 10 but when I thought about doing nets the washing machine was on a cleaning cycle!!!
Will hopefully put them on in morning so they can go on line to save ironing them:D I have enjoyed the frog list idea this week has certainly made me do things I was putting off. I have never seen my house so tidy.
I am working 3 days next week then a physio appointment on thursday, so will be a challenge but I am determined to get into the room of doom to at least find the floor. I think the carpet is purple;):rotfl:

piggers squeak is soooo cute (and I am not a kid person)
I think the frog list is great. Not quite as daunting as the Toots list (sorry Toots). My plan is to slowly move things off the Toots into the frogs list. I have achieved more this week than I thought possible. I WILL have completed the flylady list for the first time this week, and made serious inroads into the frog list. :T:TGC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
Pigpen lovely pic
Why is she looking so smug?
I like the frog list (even though I didn't manage all of it)
Max get well soon, take it easy
Well, as predicted, I didn't get much done. i had a lovely day painting at my aunty's garden (yes, I even put paint on paper - even if it was only a sketch). I have sunburn now though(I thought I was sitting in the shade most of the day).
DH took the dog for a walk (& himself & DS for a bike ride) - so I may need to bath the dog now! (When I say now, I mean tomorrow). He also hung the washing out, and got both loads in :T and sorted most of the CD's and put them in the loft. He has gone to work now, and won't be back 'til Monday.
The kids are planning to go swimming tomorrow! They are getting the bus (will probably end up getting a lift in the 'Mum taxi', but they haven't asked yet!) I may go to bed soon, so I can get up at a decent time and get some more of the lists done before the new one is outI just need DS to put more after sun on my back before bed
Hugs, spoons and healing vibes to those that need them.
