I'm already starting to struggle during the week to maintain any sort of motivation when I get home. I've brought thing home from work tonight and got nowhere. Before Friday evening I need to:
1) look through our EYFS booklet and try to make sense of some of the statements
2) Find binoculars for cubs
3) Buy laminating pouches
4) fill out registration forms for doctors
5) Read as much of my book as possible (I'm enjoying it but keep nodding off reading on the bus)
6) Buy sawdust
7) finish feelings display
8) check at school for a roll of paper big enough to draw around a child
9) Watch and return film
10) Write a letter
11) Find and decorate the old coffee jar

You sound exhausted Giggles! Its no wonder you have no motivation if you are so tired you are falling asleep on the bus

How come you are having to bring work home? Is that a regular thing? I always believe in work staying at work but i know thats not always possible - it might be worth looking at this though if you can!

cool, yay i got everything done. I just need to give my assignment into my teacher tomorrow and see if they'd allow me to leave my college stuff there so i dont have to bring it with me to my job induction.

I don't have any plans tomorrow as i won't be free to do anything. I have college then my job induction until 8pm, won't get home until 9:00pm - 9.30pm depending on traffic D;

Well done on getting everything done it always feels good to complete the list

Sounds like a busy day ahead of you - hope it all goes well xx

I'm having one of those not sure where to start days today prob because i have had little sleep the past 3 days for some reason!

I know i have things i SHOULD be doing but struggling to get any desire to get off the sofa and actually do them :rotfl::rotfl:

I might give myself a wee kick shortly and see what i can get done from yesterdays list!

Well i got a few things done:

sewed up the hat still ignoring the booties lol

Have been doing more work on ESA form - its sooooooo stressful doing it and its hard talking about all the things i can't do at least i'm a bit further through it though

Just put some ingredients in the bread maker so should have some lovely bread shortly

Checked my electric useage and worked out the monthly cost of that

Switched electric over to cheaper provider

Phoned about dla decision - its on it way in the post!!! am scared now!!!

Thanks Fairyclicks It's not that bad really. I'm working as a nursery nurse but am a qualified teacher. In my last job I was working constantly if I wasn't sleeping (8.30-5.30 with the children then prep and assessment at home until bedtime and it was never good enough) Now I'm in a school my official work hours are 8.30-3.30 and I don't feel like I'm busy enough so it's nice to only have a couple of things to do at home. I don't HAVE to do anything really, I'm just trying to make a good impression and I concentrate better when I don't have other people around. I just need the energy!

A little update on progress:
