Evening all
Just popped on to catch up a bit. :mad: on LW's behalf at some medical people. It makes me appreciate the ones I see regularly even more. Please stick around, LW. We'd all miss you terribly and as for lacking the social skills to make friends, you're doing just fine with the virtual ones.
Also sending positive vibes to Jue for the interview. I know it's a bit early, but I'm likely to miss it next week.
Lots of hugs, sticks, good vibes and spoons for everyone else. Sorry I haven't caught up with your news.
Work is not too bad yet, but I'm sooo tired every night, that I struggle to do anything other than slob around and as a result I'm well behind with all sorts of things. DS1 is back tomorrow :j, so we can tackle the mountain of clean clothes in the LR soon. I'm going to have a quick bath now with a cuppa and I may need a short nap before I can get on with work.
Got to do some marking at the very least and transfer everything from my old laptop case to the new wheeled one. :T Back tomorrow. x
ETA Had a re-think! Bath, sort new bag and bed. Aim is to be tucked in by 10.30. Then a 5am start to do my marking. Hopefully I'll feel better after a good night's sleep (although I'll look like Medusa, going to bed with damp hair).0 -

Morning All
Well DS passed his swimming but DD didn't, having the said that the instructor who took them last night didn't pass any of them as she said they weren't quite ready but it wasn't their fault it was because they'd had no continuity of teacher so she's going to reassess them in December - mid term and move them up then.
I did quite a bit more ironing last night - I've still got loads more to do but at least the pile that was on the DR table is done.
I'm not going out today as I thought - apparently it's next Friday I'm going out with my mate so I'll get some more jobs done today although I might nip into town as well.
Have a good day all
Hugs

good morning

I have emptied the TD, stacked the DW, brought down the washing, got frustrated with DD1 :mad: - so a normal morning here!
DS has gone back to school today.
I have asked DD1 if she can walk the dog later, but she can't because she is getting her hair done. she can't do it afterwards either - because she might ruin her hair! :mad:
