    Ah, I'm a bit late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :bdaycake:

    Ooh, you should definitely try selling online, a very nice way to earn some extra pennies :D I used to do a fair bit of that, so if you ever fancy looking into it a bit more and would like any advice or tips, just give me a shout :) xx
    a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library

    Thank you all for the birthday wishes xx

    The grapes and baby plum tomatoes were really well received at work, so that was good to do.

    Pausing for lunch: cashew, carrot, spring onion, plum tomatoes, avocado, rocket in evoo and balsamic. Yum!

    Governor meeting went on until 10.30, longer than I had anticipated, but a conclusion was reached.

    Priority after lunch is to relax a little. Am still all uptight after yesterday's manicness + a stressful time with dd at bedtime. So I shall read a little then make some fairy cakes for tomorrow and crack on with airy fairy while they are cooking. If time, I'll grab a quick bath before getting dd...

    Got my bath in! And made cakes. And did another centre - a problem one this time, so had to do all the candidates. Done most of the paper work - just the feedback, which can be tricky to word. Thank goodness someone else checks it over too!

    Finished airy fairy dolly to dd's satisfaction, and she finished the invite to London for her friend. All wrapped and ready for tomorrow when we set off for Guildford... A long day ahead...

    Dd approved of my cakes too - amazing what a bit of icing does. She ate 2 for tea - 2 of the BURNT bottomed ones too - strange child.

    Tilly - I love that you think I am industrious! You will make me far too smug and big-headed. But I love it!

    MeandO - you are inspiring me to think about it... Because I know nowt about it, it seems too big a 'thing' to so. But the ideas has been lurking in the dark recesses of my brain for a while, so it may be time to bring in forward a little...

    No bunny making at all today. Golly gosh and what is the world coming to.... Moderation HAS to take priority when I get the chance and I am almost halfway through it. That's by number of centres to do, not workload, as problem centres take soooooooooooo much more time up. Dh even helped out by sitting with dd to get her to sleep. And, of course, the child took much less time than normal...grrrrrrr!

    Don't think I can finish moderating before half term arrives, but if I can finish off the current one and possibly do another on Sunday, I shall be happy.

    Hmmm. Am now wittering. It is bedtime. Nighty night x
