    You need wood glue not Poly filler and the wood may need clamping in place till it sets.

    Thanks. I will wonder Down to the DIY shop a little later today.
    I had a reasonable night but was up and down several times. I feel very tired and my face hurts, which is not surprising really. Luckily I can stay home most of today except for the school walk. Although I am trying to see if my neighbour will take dgd for me so I can relax a bit and have a bath etc this morning.
    I have had a few people contact me about the job I am advertising so I will start to arrange interviews.
    I am pleased to see that DS has cleaned up his house, and sent me a video to prove it. His GF has managed to get to work with the help of DD Biggest.
    He has even managed to pay me his rent without my asking. Long may it continue.
    Biggest is going to help my Mum Today, so I don't need to rush around.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Biggest is popping overto see me at work today. I have chatted on the phone but since I haven't been Babysitting lately I have not seen much of anyone except my Mum.
    I am feeling tired as not sleeping very well well I have to go to work as there is a lot to do.
    Time for the school run.

    Well Biggest forgot to visit.
    DS needed to borrow £20 so I have added it to the spreadsheet.
    I worked well today and was pleased with the results. I stayed until 5.30 as I was going so well.
    BF is over tonight and so I did spicy meatballs and pasta.
    DGD was collected from Basketball by one of the other Mum's, and taken to the school disco and she's being brought home by the neighbour, so I was very lucky to not have to run around like a headless chicken for once.

    Today was probably the busiest ever, which was a godsend after the last few days. From before I was even open I had people asking prices, quotes for work, collections, new jobs, fittings and the phone worked overtime as I did. Considering Tuesday was my first ever NIL takings day, today we took £361.85 mind you £224 was one lady's work. She collected 11 items and gave me 6 more to do! And paid for it all at the same time.
    I am going to be optimistic that the sluggish start to the year is over and again I will have work to do and money will start to come in again. -as I couldn't pay my self anything for the last three weeks I will be glad that next week I will hopefully be able to pay my supplies and wages and myself.
    I have had help from a friend here on MSE to update my website and I am so lucky that someone could get it sorted when I have been struggling to understand it. Now people can email me from the site! How amazing is that?
    I am teaching tomorrow three lessons one after the other. Going to be a busy day as I have still to set up the room and check the machines.
    I have had a review of my Benefits from the Council in today telling me that I still owe just under £700 but I am paying it off slowly. At their pace, and I just need to keep an eye on their calculations.

    Well the results of my X-ray were fine, as were the blood tests, so that's a relief but I don't know what Then is causing the pain I am in. I have to call and make an appointment to see the doctor and they said there is about a two week wait. So I will have well and truly run out of pain killers by then.
    My mouth is still very tender and eating is a struggle but I will get there.
    Dgd went to the Space Centre with the brownies yesterday and she seemed to enjoy it.
    I was busy at work and we had another day of people collecting and 5 children's lessons. So we made £229 which is a good one for a Saturday.
    I am hoping that I will be seeing the last of the quiet time now and we will start to pick up the pace.
    We are in Oxford today and possibly we will be going swimming as we have BFs granddaughter for the day.
    I have been handsewing a little mouse for her, while watching the TV but I don't have enough stuffing here to be able to finish it. Or I would probably have finished it last night.
