Apple muncher's number crunching

Humdinger1

@apple_muncher you are doing amazingly.   Agree that self care is essential.  Do whatever is necessary to keep on an even keel.  We're all rooting for you love Humdinger xx

I'm so happy I have a support group on here! Thank you all for cheering me on

I got the A level speakings marked today, so just the mixed paper to do tomorrow. Then their reports. Then possibly amending some stuff for the y11 reports.

My to-do list for tomorrow isn't too long and once the marking/reports is done, it'll be must nicer!

Awww you sound a tiny bit more centred.    right, you know what you've got to do to feel better about tomorrow, get those markings done.  Then think about fluffy penguins and snowmen, sounds good to me

My marking is done. Phew. And I've several reports comments in mind. Phew too (though nowt written up as yet).

Very pleased that I came straight home from the school run and got on with it. Also very pleased for strong coffee and 85% chocolate to keep me company as I marked. It can be so tricky to keep coffee cup rings and chocolate smears off their papers...

Out soon to see my lovely counsellor. Then I'm meeting dh for a(nother) coffee before hitting the gym and the tip (the garden waste in the boot will soon be sending down roots...)

Today feels like a day where I'll 'get there' with my list. Probably helps that I'm not at work...

All done, just aptis decision, snowmen, penguins and sch run to go. Phew.

I've had a chance to browse the free resources on the tes site and found some useful ones.

Now to watch some rubbish TV for a bit and stab some penguins into submission...

You can do it, good luck.

DC has spent more time on clearing up  their room and there is sooo much floor space now😁. Oh, the motivation of having a friend to stay on Fri night and needing space for us to dismantle the old high bed and replace with bunk beds... Friday is going to be pretty manic... And we can't start any earlier cos dismantling requires 2 people, according to dh, and on a Thurs, we are like ships that pass in the night, especially tomorrow, where we won't even coincide for 15 mins! And I have to leave by 1pm on Fri to go and run a stall at my school fair. Eek.

I am very proud of DC, as all the sorting requires making a myriad of decisions, thus using up brain space and energy. They put on some music they like, and set to it. Go them!
