    Have managed to do my work filing (at least, enough to be able to USE my work mailbox...) while eating breakfast. Now need to get breakfast tidied up, shower, dress and get out of the door... I need petrol on the way there and A3 paper on the way back.

    Need to get to the health food shop this week as I have run out of ingredients for porridge/muesli. Only rye flakes left, which are a bit chewy!

    Good morning :D

    I am not doing very well :( I have so much paperwork, and have had a headache (on & off) since Sunday. I think i will start my diversity scrapbook (for Ofsted), while playing with Miss T. I have a network meeting tonight, so not much will be done tonight. i also desperately need a hair cut! In this windy weather I can hardly see!! :eek: Vet phoned last night to cancel appointment tonight. It would have been a push with the meeting as well, so that was lucky :D

    ok - toys are out. I may have a cuppa & seek out some parrots for my head.

    Jobs for today:
    [STRIKE]start scrapbook[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]book hair appointment[/STRIKE] Thursday
    [STRIKE]pay deposit for B&B[/STRIKE]
    book travelodge for August
    text re family photos of kids (1 done, 2 to go)
    S&S kitchen

    probably have other stuff to add, but can't think at the mo.

  • Morning all!

    Other than the very basics I didn't achieve much yesterday :( and I'm not feeling very motivated this morning either. Need to shake off this CBA mood :cool: Another coffee I think.
