    Hi again,

    I'm in the middle of a house move at this end so I haven't had a chance to post in a bit. However, in hindsight, I realise that this thread is exactly what I need if I want to have finished packing and be ready to go when the removal van arrives on Sun. :eek:

    Today so far I have:

    Set up my landlane to move to my new address. :D
    The same with broadband. :D
    Rung van hire company to make sure they're still coming this Sun. :D

    I aim to:

    Bag up orders. :D
    Drop off catalogues. :D
    Try to deliver orders. :D
    Mop bathroom floor.
    Tidy desk.

    A nice short list but some of the things on it take a while.

    Wash up, dry and put away DONE
    Hoover right through, including stairs DONE
    Fold washing that i dumped on the table last night DONE
    Do 2 washer loads if it looks like the rain will hold off DONE
    Polish throughout DONE

    Morning Guys and welcome back CP!

    Bit nervous today as volunteering at the school, and the inclusion manager has a 'project' for me! Will be learning some software today, which I think I may be working with some kiddies on later in the week! Have the open days for college next week as well - the phrase old dog and new tricks spring to mind!! The school is lovely, but I haven't been out working (not counting a few hours in the nursery with Xan!) since before Xan was born 4 years ago, and I'm feeling quite anxious!

    Today I want to:

    • DY review
    • Wash up :)
    • Load of Washing :)
    • Over Pay CC
    • 5 SH ebay
    • 5 new ebay
    • Volunteer at school :)
    This week I want to:


    • Write up May Sales

    Xandersmum you will be absolutely fine - it is automatic for your nerves to kick in.

    Your school will be delighted that you are volunteering, they wouldn't have you in if they had any doubts. Look at all the skills you have to offer especially your knowledge as a Mum of a child with SN.

    You go for it girl, you will be awesome :dance:
