Kitchen window washed inside today, all 3 LR windows done on Sunday inside and out. All LR skirting boards done Sunday. DS party done, all children fed, no one injured or lost, so it was a success in that respect. Brown sauce smooshed over brasswork on fire and all polished off again. Fence panels lowered into position to stop old biddy over the back trepassing and staring in my kitchen window. Downstairs loo all cleaned today before builder came.
DR hoovered, tablecloth stuffed in WM ready for cheap leccy tonight :money:
DD3 appointment decluttered and returned to school in time for her school play rehearsal.
Time to get some shut eye before I start all over again.The cold never bothered me anyway0 -
Dailies done
Cat stuff done
Living room done
Much excitement where I do my voluntary work. The male staff from A&E have done a naked calendar to raise awareness of testicular cancer. Already had lots and lots of sales and been picked up by national press. They had so much fun doing it.
Luckily not too many fireworks around here tonight so cat not been too bad.
Going to do a quick tidy then that's me off to bed.0 -
evening all!!
Today I have unloaded WM and the TD and the reloaded the TD and folded the clean washing
Washed up and wiped the surfaces in the kitchen, cooked tea, eaten tea, washed up again!
Just spent 2 hours looking up resources and tweaking my planning for the rest of the weekhad 2 students in observing today and everything was *rap!! The ICT let me down, the photocopier was playing up, I read the wrong story in collective worship...etc...etc...etc so feeling rather jaded
however tomorrow is another day and I'm nothing if not reflective and persistent
so tomorrow is re planned and I'm going to walk on the treadmill, shower and have an early (for me!) night
xxxGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -

I think I saw this on Facebook today, is it Wansbeck hospital? There's one or two very handsome men in that calendar. Not sure I could look them in the eye anymore if I worked with them! :eek:0 -
I'm exhausted! Just got in from cubs fireworks. I've been out since 12:30! I think it went well though and raised a fair bit. I've been sent home with 6pts milk and lots of rolls. I'm very much aching now though

Dusty pitsypoolisa Yes it is Wansbeck hospital. I work in A&E and think the guys were brave to do it as they knew how much banter they would get. Lol.
Cat fed and Im decluttering a cuppa.
Some shopping to do this morning then at my voluntary job for a couple of hours. Lots of sirens here last night. Some tow rags have burned down a boarded up school. Luckily it didn't spread to houses nearby.0
