    Hiya Dustykitten
    Deleting cookies means that saved passwords etc are deleted so it depends if you think it's worth your while or not. I've got about £150 in 18 months and don't use it that much so to me it was worth it. Hope that helps xx

    Meant to say to delete cookies click on the drop down menu 'tools' and then click on 'internet options' and there's a 'delete cookies' button to press on.

    I managed my list for today so very pleased with myself! Right i'm going to make a start on tomorrow's list tonight as there aren't enough hours in the day tomorrow so here goes;

    1) Take a load of children in two shifts for external exams tomorrow
    2) Do 15 minutes of chucking things out in each of the children's bedrooms.
    3) Decorate santa's grotto ready for a fair at the weekend.
    4) Bake 48 cakes for the fair (might give this a miss if I don't have time)

    Actually, now i've written it down it's not that bad a day at all so I'll leave it until tomorrow. Sometimes it helps to make a list.

    Going to put my feet up for a few minutes xx

    Evening all

    Well littles fast asleep, snoring their little heads off (take after their father:rotfl: ). Cheated and treated us "ladies" to S & S chicken balls and chips on way home from swimming.

    Just wanted to say a huge thanks to all those who offered advice when DD1 was being a little s0d. Since we have changed to only recording the good behaviour there is so little bad behaviour, and if she does slip up she apologies straight away. We have one much happier little girl :A and a happier household. So HUGE thanks for those that listened to my ramblings during a very bleak time. (have fingers crossed as I type so as not to jinx it):D

    I should do the ironing off the airer tonight but I am not going to. May have a brandy and lemonade (just to warm my bones;) ) and chill watching junkie telly. DH off on night out so may as well make the most of it.

    Right I am off to rattle some bottles.

    I haven't managed all my list today but will carry some bits onto tomorrow, heading for the bath and an early night have been feeling cr*p today and am hoping that I haven't caught the cold from the girls going to dose up on Vit C before bed and keep fingers crossed that that and an early night will keep the bugs away.

    Will post list in the morning once I know how I am feeling.

    Night all.

  • Quick pop in again while dinner is cooking as i really am hopeless at doing anything work related until i have eaten.

    serena - feedback was from when my head of house watched me with my form, and was good - thanks for asking. Feedback on the LEA inspection was not given to individuals - basically we were told that the kids attitudes to learning was improved from the last visit, and all the lessons they saw in science were satisfactory or better.

    Now we have the KS3 science advisor coming in next week to watch us teach. I am getting a bit cheesed off with the amount of work expected, so i am going to ask tomorrow to tell me exactly what lesson that will be in as it is wrong to give so many observations with such short notice. - that can be my Grrrrr for the day. ;)

    • all PJs/socks and tracksuits that don't get ironed are away in his wardrobe

    Bathroom done now so really pleased with my flying today, feel back on track.

    Tonight is the last night for DS2 being away so looking forward to seeing him tomorrow but dreading the amount of dirty washing he will have with him.

    Washing on now to go on airer over night and then towels on kitchen floor to go in over night.

    Going to do a quick internet order and then a bit of ironing.

  • Evening all, feeling a lot better today, the sharp shooting pains in my stomach have stopped, and I've got my appetite back.
    Needless to say my house is in exactly the same state as it was Sunday night!! No flying at all done this week, good job I'm the only one who lives here, no kids to make it messier!

    I should be back up to flying next week, and I promise to do everything on the lists to make up for this week.

    Hope everyone is well.
