    We can celebrate together :beer:

    I wrote in all the dates for my course on a 2016-17 academic year calendar, including the residential weekends, and the year is already looking full, even before I've added the essay deadlines :eek: No more term time holidays for me :rotfl:

    Well done Bossy and Iona.

    Morning all. I plan to do some gardening this morning before a trip out with DD, her fiance and the dogs. We can go further now we have a stroller for OldDog. Need to hoover through too, hasn't been done since Tuesday and OldDog is a collie.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Sounds good to me!
    I don't have all my term dates yet, but I do have a "mums academic diary" for the next year. It has one page for me and the opposite for the children. I use one this year and it's great for getting all our appointments and activities in.

    I've also only got six more working days before I "retire" from finance :D

    Was out until the early hours as mum and I and our ither sis and bil were visiting my little sis, her birthday, usually celebrated with a meal out but not possible this year. We admired her wig and her fringe to tuck under a hat and all had a go at scarf tying. Second chemo next week, she's had some "ill" days but is brimming with PMA.
    Did her ironing.

    Today there are jobs to do so I shall get up shortly.


    Congrats Bossy and iona

    Valli, glad to hear that there's lots of PMA. Thoughts are with you and your family at the moment. Also CY and the gang.

    So far today I have washed my hair and had a quick shower, got the packed lunch ready for my trip out soon, made lasagne for tonight's tea, hoovered/swept/mopped through, watered the plants and got the first of two washloads in the machine.
