Glad you got to go out for the anniversary meal

OMG you have done so much decluttering. I hope someone will get some use from your donations to the CS.

Some good advice about the work situation. You need to put yourself out there show them you're the best xx

Do you ever see your stuff displayed in the CS, or do they distribute it to other branches ?

The teacher might not be looking for a TA job. Keep going with the course, you are proving yourself keen. Something will come up, you are doing fab

I have seen some books I've donated, but it's quite a big shop so I haven't really noticed that much, but they keep some stock in the storeroom, or maybe it sells quickly .

Thank you Jwil .The teacher is looking for a teaching OR TA job she said, but there's nothing I can do about it. I'll just keep doing my best and doing my course.

It was rainy today but the children went out at lunchtime as it was only light, phew! I enjoyed the morning and definitely feel like my head is more in the game now . The weather should be dry for the rest of the week.

I feel tired this afternoon though, so I'm glad Pilates isn't on as the teacher is away. I haven't been to Pilates for about six weeks and I feel very bad about that, so I'm determined to go next week though. Hopefully I'll feel less tired by then as I'll be more used to school.

This afternoon I've put some laundry on to wash and put the dishwasher on, but I'm mainly going to relax and catch up with diaries as I want to be feeling full of energy tomorrow.

Glad you and OH enjoyed your anniversary meal.

Your decluttering is really going well! You must have emptied half your house over the last few months!:rotfl: Do you feel a lightness in the atmosphere of the house now?

Thanks SSG . You would expect the house to be half empty by now and there is an improvement. But there is still clutter in my bedroom and the landing, plus DS1 and DS2's bedrooms are still resemble a hoarder's paradise :eek:. I've also brought over a certain amount of things from my Mum's house which I've had to find a home for.

However progress is being made which is the main thing .

Keep going with the decluttering- and we’ll done getting ds to clear their stuff....not an easy task. When mine left home after uni I found stuff they wanted for years suddenly became unwanted - so they had the choice of taking it with them or charity shop - I kept stuff whilst they were at uni BUT they hadn’t used most of it or missed it- they seemed to think they could leave the clutter here and have lovely clutter free places themselves:rotfl::rotfl: think it was a bit of a shock that mum didn’t want it :rotfl::rotfl:
