  • Morning everyone - hope you are all well.

    Thanks for the list Lil_me.

    I've been flying well this morning already - Dh has taken ds to playschool and dd is off school today as she's was poorly over the weekend and I want to make sure she's ok today. So, no school run and no rushing around sorting littlies = most of the list done.

    I'm going to sit down and do some sums with dd as she's asking, then go to pick ds up from playschool at 11.30 then it'll be time for work. See you all later.

    Hope

    Morning all

    I was in a 'come fly with me' mood but it has gone. Some stupid women really nearly knocked DS3 over with her car this morning. He was scooting up the path along the road we live in on the way to school and the woman did not see him as she reversed out - she missed him by an inch! He was so shook up poor thing. What makes me cross is it is a main route to school so always full of mums and kids at 8:50 so she should be being so vigilant.

    G&B hope all goes well with your DD
    Embb good luck with your interview
    Lilo I have everything crossed for you

    Hairdresser due in one hour to cut my hair so going to have a mad 50 minute fly - see you all at 10:20

    Morning all,

    Still off sick, cos my voice hasn't come back, and off to docs at 11 to see what they suggest as antibiotics haven't made much of a difference. Am going into school at 1 for PPA time (planning, preparation and assessment) as I shouldn't have to speak too much for that, and with any luck my voice will be better by tomorrow and I'll be able to teach again. Think I'll have to get a doctor's note, so there goes £10. Do all doctors charge this much?

    Couldn't sleep last night, so got up and did some washing, put the clean sheets away, and played with the cat. I also emptied and reloaded the dishwasher. My aim this week (unless I can't go into school) is to do level 1 every day, as I haven't flown properly now for weeks and at least it will mean I have to do something.

    Hugs to all who need them. Best of luck for the wedding Rach! It's so exciting! I'm sure it'll all go well, and there will be lots of us on here sending good vibes in your direction.

    lilo I hope it all went well today - sorry I wasn't online last night to wish you luck, but I'll be thinking of you.

    Right, best get on, and get dressed, eat breakfast, take antibiotics, and then clean the kitchen floor.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Right.. I'm back.. just going to have a cuppa before I start. I am in the mood for a right good hoiking session so my house will be devoid of junk by lunch time.. I usually go through a roll of binbags ina few days when I feel like this.

    My head NEEDS it to be sunshiny.. I can feel the niggling grot which is SAD starting and I will not give in to it.. I hibernate in winter as it is without being lethargic and hibernated!!

    HHE/HHC 10:30-11 anyone??? I'm doing the HHE.. because if I don't I won't!! And I have my new DVD to play with!

  • Good idea. Kettle going on now, and I'll see what I can cope with before the doc's (as promised to the Paramedics). Just hope they can sort me out. I'm fed up of not feeling well enough to get the jobs done!
