    Hi :)

    Thanks for the messages - felt dreadful yesterday and didn't really have anything to post but feeling a little better today - had a minor crisis at work where I just felt like everything was getting on top of me - I guess almost like a panic attack. Thank goodness I was by myself! However, this scared me a little so I wrote out a list of things I needed to do to get more sorted and got a group of yr 7s to help me out - some of them had still work to do on some presentations, so those who had finished helped me wrap boxes for my form's deal or no deal assembly tomorrow. Am gong to have to raid my present box for some more prizes but think I have a few things :) Will let you know how it goes - don't think we've raised as much money as I'd hoped, but anything helps (towards Donna's Dream House and Cancer Research).

    Off to DD's nativity play at Church in a little while. :) Looking forward to that.

    Had a rant/row with OH today - rang him to say hi and it ended up being one of those arguments that spring from nowhere - both of us not telling the other about plans etc. Grr. V frustrating but we've sorted it now and will work together to avoid similar things. When the kids have gone down tonight I'll be doing some marking and also some sorting of house stuff. Been letting things get on top of me this week but I really can't face feeling out of control!

    So lots to do and need to get to the Church so we're not late...

    HI Sea

    Good to hear from you. I bet the Yr 7s liked helping with the wrapping.

    Enjoy Sophia's nativity play - don't forget a hanky.

  • The nativity brings tears to my eyes every year, even though I see it a million times in rehearsals each year. Goodness knows what I'll be like this year, 7 months pregnant and seeing it for the first time! Even TV adverts make me cry at the moment so I'll probably flood the school hall!
  • aww hugs for you sea...things can get on top of you, esp at this time of year as so much to do! Just make sure you get bit of chill you time somewhere to keep you sane! Great re the nativity! Its my goddaughters x 2 on Friday and cant wait - nice day off, hugs & probably me beaming with pride! and maybe tears!! Hope tomrrow is better for you :)

    Hope you enjoy it on Friday :) we'll no doubt be getting the dvd of it for my mum - perhaps for Christmas? No sure...

    I cannot believe how much better I feel for just writing downa dn few things and achieving them! How daft!
    Ah well.

    Just going to potter about a little more and then get off to bed. Am nervous about the assembly! No doubt it'll be fine though.

    Hope all are well. Will get cracking with some DFW things soon - did try doing my daily clicks but they seemed to be taking a long long time so didn't do them all. Ah well, always tomorrow!

    Hi:)

    The assembly went ok - a little chaotic but we raised about £100 which is great :)

    Now in full panic as am trying to sort DD's party - left it far too late in the day of course and now need to get cracking with sorting it. Haven't even sent out the invitations - ARGHHH!!! Have told Sophia she can only have girls as she want s aprincess party and this will be a lot easier (and cheaper) than any other theme for me.

    So scouring the web for free ideas and templates for party games etc. Also trying to find a free invite download as I've not got the time to be creative myself and need to print them at work tomorrow as I have no printer here.

    Eek!
