dusty - yes, a form too, and they are just moving onto vertical forms,so kids from every year group in it. Oh, and it is science i teach, so also having to deal with new GCSE they started teaching while i was away, and a new A level they are offering this year. I've arranged to go in on Wednesday to talk some more about it all cos it feels overwhelming at the minute.


Should go and do a bit more of the kitchen really. Don't think i can be bothered to make proper food for dinner. Think i might just have a bowlof cereal, then check back in later


aimee catch up on your sleep hon. Tomorrow is another day.


Michelle, x

I'm just making the most of my time before the lithium kicks in and I get 'evened' out. Not doing it until after the Spanish thing is over though - I can just about cope with the 'me' I know - having been this 'me' since I left school i have no idea what to expect! I'm just praying that I won't be dull... not that I am super duper interesting at the best of times, but I like to think I have my occasional moments!

Hev: Do NOT go near any place which has the nasty stuff - buy more teabags! Could you let me know your source, please? I'm going to treat myself as a post-Spanish, pre-Lithium landmark. Absolutely no chance of anything chocolately as weight gain is a prime physiological side-effect apparently (she says having stuffed herself non-stop for the last 3 weeks!)

Where are these people who starve themselves when stressed?

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh eBayyyyyyyyyyy it's so annoying. It/paypal between them have not been correctly working out postage on multiple purchases recently. It's driving me crackers email to explain and request more money plus it's costing more as I have to pay the minimum fee on paypal twice :mad:

If I refund and ask them to start over I seem to have to chase even more.

Rant over, back to flapping.

I don't use ebay or Paypal to work out the postage discount on my items anymore - I just have in big letters at the bottom of my listings "If you win more than one item I will send you an invoice with a new postage cost for combined purchases - It will include a discount if possible! " or words to that effect. I've still had people pay full postage for two items as they've been impatient to pay :rolleyes::rotfl:

Now, as for flying ....

The next day is posted tomorrow., we only can think one day at a time so each day the next days tasks are added... if you look back you can see the weeks workload on previous flylady posts.. but tuesday was added today to be done tomorrow.. Wednesday will be added about this time tomorrow.. sometimes lil_me swaps days around just to keep us guessing and changes little extra jobs for variety.. we are all quite excited by the unexpectedness lol.

Nice to see you..

You, my pretty.. need to get out more!!! lol... That was just 'banter' you best stay away from me in full flow if you found THAT steamy ROFL!!!!

Bless your little cottons! (bet they are white and knee length too!!)

Finished! All the pot plants are outside too as it's about to rain, saves me the job of watering them and mopping windowsills. No extras, too kn***'d.
(sorry, doing tomorrows list in case you were confussded.)

I was being polite when I said 'mild flirting' and I don't even want to know about the bra shopping incident.. well, I sort of do - but kind of not as well ?:rotfl:
Pigpen, I do think you've got a talent or a calling in there somewhere. (The lyrics thing I mean, not the flirting )

Happyathome, enjoy your quite litteral 'me' time, I hope though that your new meds suit you and you keep the things that make you you. Just to say too I'm one of those people who looses the weight when stressed. It's not all it's cracked up to be. The strange thing I noticed when I was at my skinniest was how people think it's OK to comment on how you look when I would'n't DREAM of going up to someone and commenting on how fat I thought they were!

I'm off to make my overdue tea now.
