  • Just sorting out the dog flap. Why oh why did we leave it until the day term starts!?
  • Right. Sorted the damned thing and trained Puppylove to use it in automatic mode.

    DD1 has a house key and know where to get the bus. New term here we come!

  • I've had a great holiday and a productive one. This weekend we've had socials for all three kids. Time goes increasingly fast through the holiday.

    I can't help feeling terribly anxious about the new term which I realise is silly.
    I'll be fine when I get to work.

    The piggies are lovely but another three ways my heart is split!

    Return to frugality tomorrow and alcohol free until half term.
  • Good luck tomorrow. Try and enjoy it.

    Ouch, I'm really not happy about the timestamp on that last post, SHS :eek:

    Hope you feel okay today. Like you say, it'll be **fine** once you get there.

  • I'm doing better than our head who confessed to the same insomnia plus a two bottles of wine!

    You were right of course. Not a bad day and still under control eating-wise according to MFP.

    I get anxious until I have had a lesson with each class. Even when I know the classes. Logic may say it is daft, but emotion ain't logical. Chin up x

  • Today was good. I was verbally abused by a man for driving on my side of the road when he wanted to (going the other way). If I was a man he wouldn't have.
