decogecko - thank you - yes today is the day for mum's hospital appointment. Sadly I'm not going - I've got the cold from hell and mum is too weak to risk it at the moment.

Sister is going with her - she is a nurse of 25 years experience - and she has done her research. And she has a plan.....

Morning all!
DS's room done yesterday, just the mountain of resulting washing to sort out. Will give the kitchen and bathroom a quick wipe, then think I will go for a manicure, my nails are all sorts of weird shapes. Need to go to the bank to collect my English notes, then back to the washing!

Morning all.
Decluttered a cup of tea, wondering if I have enough time for another before I head into town.

I hate going into town. I have my list and I'm just going to keep my head down and get my stuff done. It's the last day of Yo! Sushi's Blue September deal (all plates £2.50) so I might treat myself for lunch when I'm done.

Will see how much time I have for flying when I get back, I'm working at 6pm til 2am tonight. Hoping I get a chance to leave early as I have a 12:30 train tomorrow!:eek: Doubtful, will be very busy with the hordes of students that have descended into the city!

Working again today It took me an hour last night to prepare 20 books and then I woke in the middle of the night realising I'd not put one of the slips in the 40+ books I've done :doh: :wall: So I'll have to re-do those IF I can't find a way around it I have a horrible feeling today is going to be long and boring. I best get on now, already roped DD in to help (INSET day today) so she sitting making bookmark slips for me I think a treat tea might be in order if she does this without moaning.

Hopefully I'll get some flying in at some point other than just making the beds and making meals
