PC playing up - it's taken me five goes to get this page to open...

Confused newbie - Forget about the things that you haven't done, and celebrate your successes! If you are struggling, then try to do just Level One, and one decluttering or fling thing. Remember how long it took for the house to get in this state - you won't clear all that in one day! (Or in my case, one year...sigh. It took me 18 months to get our bedroom decluttered enough to be able to decorate it.:eek:

Germish - I have sorted out about ten books to go to the charity shop, so if I've only bought three, then I'm in dust credit!;)

shell - Very well done on the weight loss! I should definitely find out about the courses. If you want to become a primary school teacher, then you go for it! Find out what you need to do, and take the first step.

pigpen - very impressed that you've filled out the application - NOW GET IT IN THE POST!!! You can have a virtual piece of lemon drizzle cake - so much tastier than dog biscuits! And if you get an interview, attend, and get a place, I'll post you a real cake!

Hugs to Tiamai. Please consider yourself tucked up on the sofa with a cup of tea, and your favourite film. (I'm not nearly so sympathetic with my family...)

I have done practically nothing today. I did the weekly shopping,bought DS2 some presents, including a set of dumbells that I struggled to carry out to the car...picked up DD from the hairdressers with her beautifully and expensively coloured hair, had lunch, read the Times Ed, and sat here.

Have you seen anything in the news about the list of failing schools that are threatened with closure because they have fewer than 30% A-C grades at GCSE? Well, I have taught at two of them, done supply at five, and have a job for September at another! I'm really, really cross, because Kent is a selective county, and in my town the top 30% go to the grammar schools. Two of the oversubscribed schools with high CVA scores (this measures the progress that students make in their five years) have GCSE A-C of 28% and 27% - and have been told to improve or they'll be closed!! I think this just makes the Education Secretary look stupid - these are not failing schools.The teachers at these schools should be given huge bonuses for the terrific job they are doing!

Okay, rant over. I'll go have a cup of tea.

Sorry pigpen. it took me so long to type and then edit out the typos, and you'd posted in between!

Phew any tea going spare.

Had a busy day but no flying yet. Went to sorting office for my parcel. Its half an hours walk there and half an hour back. Never mind good exercise. Now the proud posesser of a purple pair of crocs. They are a godsend for my feet they are so comfortable.

Then went to the hairdressers and after that decided to hop on the bus and go into Newcastle. Just fancied a trip out. Went into Lakeland and bought a couple of things in there. But decided to go through Qidco for other stuff. Went into Waterstones and surprised myself by not buying any books.

Once Ive wrote this post Im going to get flying.

Evening all

Well, today's journey to work took an extra half an hour but, listening to the radio as I drove, my back route was far preferable to the normal route - I would have been stuck for hours in that.

A good day at work - a situation there's been arguments about all week has finally had a way forward agreed so to celebrate, I left work at 3.30 instead of 4.00 and stopped off at the garden centre and bought a load of bedding plants for the garden.

Got in to find t'internet down so went out and planted up a lot of them. - they are going in pots on the little patio area where the new french doors open. I'm just having a 'rest' now as t'internet's back up but I'll go and plant up the rest in a moment and then water the garden - although there are clouds, there's been no rain and everything is pretty dry.

Hugs to those who need them
Well done to those doing courses/getting grants/getting pay rises.

On a right go slow today I am . Kids after pocket money so have got them to do loads of jobs. Cake in the oven with my dinner. Due out in 1 hour. I think I might see if I can get the bathroom done quickly, then eat, then change. Be back tomorrow so have a nice evening ladies.

Hmmm - no children and Hubbles took care of the spare room last weekend so we had somewhere to store the bikes (we live in a top floor flat with no outside space and you don't leave bikes outside a locked door in Paisley!). Some adapting to do methinks as I don't want to not do something 'fly' tomorrow when I'm just getting started... He hasn't dusted though, and there's still a pile of clothes on the chair...

So far managed none of the above and I've decided tomorrow is soon enough:p . Had a rubbish day at work and its the first evening I've had to sit down with the Hubbles all week. I'll 'fly' tomorrow while he's watching the rugby;)

Hellooo, I've not posted since wednesday when I had the day off and there seems to be so many new folks all of a sudden, welcome to all and well done for striking those lists- putting some of us to shame! I'm having a brain like a sieve day, some one suggested I needed a brain de-frag today and it's now become my new favourite futuristic fantasy - you can keep your teleportation, I need a lovely orderly head. Apart from sending huge hugs to Johanne I can't remember what else I was going to say but I have been thinking about you all variously!
I had a bit of a blitz/catch up last night when I got back from swimming and the spare room is still ok from last weekends visitors so I have the night off from Flying. It's probably just as well; I went to use the microwave last night and found some money in there. Not a bloomin' clue.
I'm home alone tonight as I'm at work in the morning so I'll be popping in and out if anyone's about. I might share my wine too..
