Afternoon Diary,Another working week done! Just waiting for DD1 to get a shift on and we are going to do the paper round. Its nearly 5km there and back but we might drive down and park up nearer to where she does it as im planning on going on another walk after tea anyway.Making beef stroganoff for tea. Really could eat something naughty out of boredom today but trying my best not to!!! Ive even cleared out my airing cupboard which I where I store all the bedding and towels... I stay store they usually end up in a heap!!!I saw something online about putting all of one bedding set folded in one of the pillowcases, so ive done that. Just need to put it all back away now.DFOD, it will probably be just me and the girls for now. New fella lives nearly 30 miles away from me and he has 2 kids who live over there. Eventually he will probably move over here but for the time being this works well.Thats about all really! Hope all ok xxMummytogirls x3

Afternoon Diary,This is my last week of full working from home. Mixed feelings about this as it is nice to get up a bit later and then not get dressed as early etc but the other part of me cant wait as I need routine back in my life. I will be working either a week of mornings or afternoons probably up until we break for summer unless anything changes as we dont know whats going to happen with the other year groups yet. Im thinking about sending DD2 back in July for the last 3 weeks and keeping DD1 at home until September.Going to make a chilli for tea and then go out for my 5km walk.Hope all ok xxMummytogirls x4

I can understand you having mixed feelings, but once you get back you'll soon settle in and feel like you've never been away I expect
. How many children are you expecting to return to school? Will you have classes of fifteen or smaller?
My school has set a limit of six per class for reception and eight per class for year one, which I think is safer than the fifteen the government are suggesting. Our parents are being sent yes or no letters this week!Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Just finishing up with work and then im going to cut DD2's hair and go out for a quick walk before tea.HHOD, we have only invited year 6 back so far and they will be split into 3 groups of 10. Thats if they all come back! The younger end parents dont seem to bothered by sending the children back. Im in the office so wont be mixing with the children and we will have a sign on the door ensuring staff dont just march in like they usually would!DD2 is going to go back on 29th June I think as shes year 6.
