    1 book I will gift
    1 pair of walking trousers
    1 pair of thick shorts
    1 linen top that'll be nice for work
    1 leather wallet - for either pip or dh in 3 months time
    1 silverish bracelet for me in 3 months
    1 shirt with a lovely pattern for making elephants out of
    1 pair of really thick leggings that might help pip keep warm
    1 sports top for me

    Hey pinky! Lovely to hear from you again.
    Latest duty rota is out. I have 2. I work 2 days. So I've asked for an explanation...
    The b***ers!!! Good for you.  It’s the one of the downsides of part time work - the powers that be tend to forget that you are part time!
    Great CS haul 👍👍
    Original mortgage £112,000 . Final payment due August 2027.
    Mortgage neutral achieved August 2020 - 7 years early!!!

    Duty issues still not resolved. Sigh. But, keeping perspective, I am enjoying my teaching and do not (yet) feel too much pressure. It does feel different, only being there for 2 days, and with both days being very very full, I feel like I don't see people. But I can cope with that!

    I got myself up and out to the gym for about 8 am 🏋️. I persisted with the workout and finished it in 31 minutes. It had looked so anodine on paper 😂.
    Now to snuggle down and watch really fit people running the marathon while I sew up some bases.

    Organised October. Now, there's a scary goal...!
    I realised yesterday that I'm only working 3 days in October 🎉🎉🎉.
    I'll be having a table at my school cmas fair, so that's a focus for making things. I'm still working on my HP figures (yup, the ones I started in August). They are all stuffed and sewn up but 4 need long hair and all of them need their scarves attaching...

    They sound fab - can we see?   Why only 3 working days in October? I know half term comes in the middle, are you off on an adventure?  I am only working 2 days in October, but they will be Northern Pounds, and they go so much further than Southern Pounds :D

    3 days is because we have a two week half term that starts on Sat 15th, so only 2 weeks away. But I'm on unpaid leave (grrrr, wouldn't be needed if they hadn't put me to work on a Fri)on Fri 14th. And the 31st is a Mon, when I don't work. Hence, 3 days!!
    I don't know how to add photos on here, so you'll just have to believe me when I say they are fabulous 😂.
