  • Morning everyone - think I missed a day!


    GWS vibes to those needing them. You all seem to be having a productive half term.


    I too was an adult literacy tutor - but in the 70s!!!


    When I worked at school as a specialist teacher assistant I would have loved one of your gifts Mrs M-P. My best memory is the end of year assembly (after which I left to take up a full time job) a young lady I had supported 1 to 1 in yr 6 won a prize for the most improved student - I was so very proud of her she worked so hard.


    Have another shift at ch shop this afternoon - very busy one yesterday though the sale is off now.


    Need to get some phone calls done and some cooking but not feeling bothered atm. Not sure how long it will be before my family member hears about job but the suspense is awful from here - not sure what it must be like there - I can only imagine and hope.


    Need to do more clearing this weekend - hope the weather will be good enough to venture into the garage! if not the loft beckons aagh!


    Have a good day everyone. x

    Good morning.

    Bedroom and dailies done yesterday.

    Met DD for lunch then shopping. Got a new Hoover for upstairs as DD frightened I fall taking Henry up and down.

    Out for a meal with work last night. It was very nice indeed.

    At work today so will have a quick whizz round.

    Morning all

    Watched EE with DS2&3 yesterday because we felt we should after all the hype, the fact they have never seen it and I haven't in a decade made it a bit of a waste nof time but we had a laugh.

    Today's entertainment:
    [STRIKE]finish ironing
    Clean shower room mirror
    shopping list and trip to Mr L
    Ring Mum
    hoover and[/STRIKE] dust upstairs
    [STRIKE]Wash DS3's bed blankets[/STRIKE]
    check bank accounts
    do my Gov agenda, policies etc etc
    Finish hand sewing
    Ask DH to oil DS3's bat
    [STRIKE]Wash DS3 blazer[/STRIKE]
    Look through options book with DS3 and fill in form

    Decluttering will just be anything lying around in the boys rooms today but I'm pleased with what I did achieve this week especially the fact that most of it is out of the house.

    Shopping done and put away
    Everywhere hoovered apart from the LR
    Bathroom floor washed
    Birthday card written and posted.

    I've run out of motivation now so will leave the dusting until tomorrow but may mop the downstairs floors in a bit.
