Morning all :hello:
I don't want to be here...I want to be curled up in bed asleepBut then I've woken up numerous times through the night (it was still light when I went to bed just after 10pm!) and the sun woke me around 5am :mad: Spent the next 2 hours trying to hide under the quilt but it was too warm under there so gave up and got up at 7am which is my normal time anyway :rolleyes: DD is the same - took me 15 minutes to get her out the bed this morning and usually she's up as soon as I open the bedroom door :rotfl::rotfl:
Nice surprise for me this morning - email from OU saying my assignment was available for collection. I got 79% :j:j Not bad considering its 11 years since I last wrote an essay.I didn't do so well on the second part but I just couldn't figure out a way to put all the points I wanted to make into "flowing paragraphs" so ended up doing bulletpoints.
Tutor has recommended I attend the tutorial this Saturday as she'll be doing essay writing so I think I will try to go to that, but I'm going to see how this week pans out first.
Time for the school run. Will jump back on here when I get back in to sort out this weeks list and todays tasks. :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
OMG it is soooo hot here and only 0945:eek: . Goodness knows what its going to be like later on! DH came home so he took me and DD2 to school (its in the barracks he's working in). Went and got some bits and bobs from NAAFI that i needed for cleaning and walked home and am sweating something chronic:o :eek:
Right am going to have a cuppa and then onwards and upwards with the Kitchen of Kalamity (thats what it is in my house):rotfl:LBM - August 2008 - Debts then - £33390 :eek:- 2nd LBM - November 2009 - Debts then - £18500:mad:

that's not allowed.. it is way too negative.. it is a beautiful kitchen... it just needs love..
I however have a bunch of governor agenda and paperwork to read through.. my curtains to finish.. but first I am attacking the curtains for the middle room.. again.. they are almost done.. I at least KNOW what I am doing now.. always a bonus!
Hubby rinsing the stone dust off the paving before I will let him go to work.. cleaning up his own mess!! He put the hearth in yesterday for the new fire but some bits needed cutting so there was dust EVERYWHERE!!.. My poor plants are all white!

DH did a BBQ so while the grills for that were soaking did the oven ones too;) . I also sorted out a paperwork hotspot so stuff either flung, filed or in the shreadding pile. Also did HHI so basket to do (may do in the garden later:D .
