Tuesday: Zumba am. Flower arrangement for wedding/xmas. Start writing up assessment.
Wed: 7hrs teaching booked. Meal with other tutors after work.
Thurs: 5hrs teaching booked. Meal with OH colleagues in eve.
Fri: day off with OH in London
In between that lot I'll be flying like a maniac and trying not to panic!!

Thank You Natty for new thread, off work this week so going to tackle lots of stuff in prep for christmas, promised grandson he could help put up the tree next Friday, its tradition he puts the fairy on the top, we have taken a picture of him doing it since he was about two, he is now 9 and totally over the Santa Clause phase, but he has to keep Santas ID secret from his little sister. Have a good week everyone.

Morning All
Just thought I'd poke my head around the door!
I've spent all weekend sorting out my DD's BR with her. It's now looking great (at least one room in the house is) so we'll see how long it stays that way!
This morning I've cleaned all the kitchen floor then knocked a glass full of squash all over it and cleaned it again!
Out for a meal tonight with Cubs, Scouts and Leaders so won't be getting much done tonight although I need to pick up a parcel from the PO after work seeing as I didn't leave the house over the weekend.
Going to do a quick tidy up in the LR in a min as Dell are coming out to sort out a faulty laptop while I'm at work and then I'd better get ready for work.
Have a great day all
Hugs

Thanks for the list Natty.
Got the decorations up and some presents wrapped yesterday.
Today I'm taking DD into town for lunch and a look at a well known Xmas window display. I think one of the nicest gifts you can give is nice memories.
Bedroom is not too bad. I dusted it yesterday and cleared it.
Dusty Thinking of you and your friend. Hugs for you both.0 -
Morning all
Ironing all done last night so all have shirts for the next few days.
DH has left the kitchen all clean from dinner which is lovely to come down to.
If I get a wiggle on this morning I should be able to get all my out of house jobs done before collecting my friend. If I get some flying done later it will be a bonus.
Have a good day flyfriends.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
