SammyK · 15/12/2008 11:29

I 'break off' on Friday, and want to have as much wrapped up as possible so I can genuinely relax while I am off. This means being organised this week

This week I need to:

  • complete DLA form for DS which I have had since september
  • do two family's contract reviews
  • finish writing xmas cards
  • tidy up for fostering lady from ss visit on Tues aft
  • finish wrapping last few xmas presents
  • put car boot stuff in garage out of the way
  • paint a cuckoo clock blue and put trains on it (don't ask!)

anyone care to join me?
