    Not doing very well since going back to work. Will try to do some off the lists every day. Back keeps locking up too. :(

    However, RoD No 1 is nearly there. Might actually be able to get the hoover round by next week. Woohoo! :j

    Managed to declutter a bin bag full of girl's clothes to a friend this week.:D and listed 3 bundles of baby clothes as it was free listing weekend this week.

    Held a family meeting with DH and 5yr DD yesterday and got a list of jobs DD was willing to do. Told DH he's to do the DW every night as I cook. Ha! :T

    Quick bit of kitchen flying done and am now heading to bed. Staying at a friend's tomorrow as a couple of people at work have organised a meal out for me tomorrow and then on Weds I am going to dad's straight from work and then out for a meal with mum. On Thurs I am staying at school for camp and then on Friday evening it's our Head's retirement do! May pop on sometime if I get 5 mins, but if not I'll see you at the weekend!!

    Well done Jenny on the new job
    Congratulations Quillion!
    Sending spoons to LW :)
    More hugs for RachelS

    I didn't get as much done as I had planned. In my defence, i was working all day! I got DS to empty the DW, and DS & DD2 walked the dog.

    I am glad I hadn't got round to wiping the kitchen units or mopping the floor - as it would have needed doing again after Little Miss Sunshine 'helped' with washing up the painting stuff :D We had green/blue painty water all down the units & on the floor! I am glad I had the foresight to put a plastic apron on her first!!

    Maccy D's for tea tonight (kids reward for walking the dog) - so no washing up :j
    I have vac'd downstairs, and will put some washing on before I go to bed.

    I have that lovely feeling of not needing to set the alarm for tomorrow :D I have to pick up from school (paid work) at 1.30 (I should be up by then!!) DS has already broken up from school as they are moving buildings (new school!) over the summer so got an extra week off! Joy!!
    I need to take the dog for a good walk/swim in the morning and get lots of washing done before school pick up - so i will try not to lay in too long.

Since working in Special Needs settings my dream has become bigger in that I would love to train as a Special Needs teacher :) I feel soooo lucky now - this job will give me so much training and experience for when I do train :)
    I have been naughty - I started cleaning but it all sort of went to pot when I decided to celebrate,lol :)
