    Had forgotten how long it takes me to do planning - after 6 weeks I feel very rusty (and old!) and it has taken me forever just to plan english for the week, still got everything else to do:(

    Builder has just been round to tell us he is taking down wall on Wednesday then rebuilding it (straight and with no cracks in) on Thursday so my quietish week now involves stripping back rest of climber on the wall and removing ornaments etc from back garden into garage for safekeeping.

    New list for tonight:
    Plan maths and everything else
    Get dh to iron kids clothes, my clothes, sort lunches and school bags and fill my car with petrol and do bedtimes!
    Parents workshop letter
    School evaluation form part 1
    Put clothes away in bedrooms
    sleeeeeeeeeeeep
    Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly
    Emergency fund £1000/£1000
    Savings for big things £9017

    Ironing mountain is no more, house respectable but in need of some decluttering of cupboards etc.

    I have to prepare for a meeting at home with the LEA. (in next 3 weeks).:o

    I am hoping DS2 copes with school better this week.

    buy some eggs
    make meringue (want to make a pudd with strawberries, meringue and mascarpone) had straws with condensed milk instead
    make a loaf cake and/or some biscuits or similar
    sort money for tomorrow realised that I need an invoice
    [STRIKE]go to the church event next to DS2's school (they're raising money for roof repairs)[/STRIKE]
