Has applying for the Disabled Students' Allowance been mentioned? That would fund extra 1:1 tutorials with.....someone like me.....to help her cope with the extra workload by offering new strategies for organisation of assignments, residual difficulties with reading/spelling/written expression. Feel free to pm me if you want to ask anything. At the moment I'm working freelance as an assessor mainly for those hoping to go on for uni, and I do the 1:1 support at our local uni.

That is so kind of you! I will take you up on that very generous offer.

Today's lists all done

I'm in this week. I'm carrying forward my outstandings from last week but I don't expect to get much done until the weekend apart from the basics as paid stuff is manic ATM

Jacci - I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mum in the middle of last year after a long illness and I'm still sorting her papers and clothes. It's so hard, so be kind to yourself and take things slowly.

Evening!

Got some bits done today - the essentials. Also got some groceries, made soup, played snap with the littlies and did the general post-school, pre-bedtime routine.
Lunch done, school and work stuff ready, showered and hair dried. Calling it a night, now.

Evening all

Sorry the school allocations have not worked out for some of you, such a stressful time, good luck with your appeals. I do have an appeals paperback book which is supposed to be very good if you need it.

Fizz hugs for you and your DS

Natty sorry to hear about Amy, I know how much that shock and sadness hurts x

And I'm brain dead. No flying managed but I knew today would be manic, tomorrow is another day.

Off to bed in a minute as my IBS is really playing up at the moment so I feel a bit grim.

Dustykitten

Morning all

Woke up way to early so enjoying a cuppa and biscuit on the kitchen sofa with old fluffy mog. Stil feeling a bit grim so will be pottering and dot-to-dotting to start with.

I'll read until 6 and then make a start in the kitchen.

If its gone it's done. Not too bad for a first day.

Morning all - been up a while.

Happy to report much improved today - still coughing but can now get my breath instead of going into spasm - scary!!! Only woke once in the night and managed to get back despite the bagpipes. Think I woke up thinking I had heard somone getting over our side wrought iron gates - but it must have been my chest talking:rotfl:
Must admit I tend to worry as you never know with ca when it can come back. Friend of mine had recurrence 17 years after. I am 18 yrs next week but the worry never goes away.

Hope to do some good flying today with rests inbetween.

Also need to find my chicken casserole sc recipe which was yummy and replicate for tea tonight.

Only bonus I can see with this virus is I totally lost my appetite so have lost more weight:T

Love and hugs, sticks and spoons to everyone here - please take as needed xx
