    Oh lololol

    I put her in a big grobag tonight, she is waking early, and I think it might be the cold. She's got up and waddled (like maggie in the Simpsons haha) to the door, but on opening the door, the bottom of the grobag has got caught under the door so she was stuck haha

    Cy re the extra papers the exam boards are pretty good at getting the amount of space right for the amount they require to be written in average size writing. Extra paper can mean big handwriting, long plan written in the first answer booklet, incorrect answer written and starting again or simply repeating the answers or waffling too much.

    Kids all driving me senseless with attitude tonight, wonder if they are all just having bad days or if AF is going to visit real soon.

    I've done a bit of flying this evening, time to update my list.

    After completing Monday-Wednesday lists, I think I ran out of steam yesterday and didn't do much at all. Today I'll probably be the same, as I hate cleaning the bathroom. I'm probably going to dye my hair tomorrow so may just leave the bathroom til then.

    I was actually planning on baking a cake today though so that's good!

    Thankyou for the lists dusty and julie, they're such a motivation to me, i wouldn't get half the cleaning and sorting i get done without the lists to push me to do something :T
