Thanks all

CotswoldStrife · 31/01/2018 21:07

It's been a record-breaking month I think, well done and much beverage of choice to Stressy who has been outstanding in January!

February thread is up (sadly no snappy title) and all are welcome there from tomorrow. Links will be up later.

Just signing in for a final rather pathetic ta da list. Then I’ll join the new thread and head to bed, I don’t want to risk seeing spoilers on threads I’m on as It was the final episode of Kiri tonight and I haven’t seen it yet

ta da
✅DH phoned tax office, this was stressing me out so glad we figured it all out (joint venture as I’m the one who handles the money side of his sports club)
✅posted for the new term of sports club and got loads of responses including newbies yay!
✅got a wash put on and dried... didn’t actually do any of it myself but I’m counting the managing of it as an achievement
✅sorted one measly drawer of home ed stuff (didn’t even get rid of anything just moved it round, now have a third drawer of maths resources)
✅spellings maths and workbook
✅baths
✅DIDN'T KILL ANYONE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fucking horrendous mood today, not grumpy so much as just MEH. Want to hibernate. Not sure if I’ll go out in the morning with the others or stay home.

I have made it through a whole month of posting a ta da list every day though so that’s good, it was my only Flying aim this month, and I’ve made it. Need to think about what to aim for next.

Hi,
Oh thank you. You lovely , caring people. I 've been asleep most of the afternoon / late morning. I couldn't get appointment re GP receptionist refused to ask if he would see me and I with trepidation had to drive to A&E wondering if I was doing the right thing/ bad enough and they kept me all night. No beds available on ward so hard bed in A & E. Just on going struggles and back to GP and same receptionist refused me app. And " ring back at 8am " uttered in high pitched twiney voice.i'm not happy. A&E told me to phone him😳 it was extremely busy. Saw people I knew and I wasn't seen for nearly two hours and I had chest pain😳
My TA da yesterday was that my lessons went very well, children cheered when I said I was teaching them( 1st time this term) it was all singing all dancing and no one came for a little visit. class teacher appeared at one stage.
Well done on all your TA das. Tired now.

Stilllivinginazoo · 31/01/2018 23:01

Bowerbird5 · 31/01/2018 23:21

No no one and not last night either.had a few tears as I was feeling a bit sorry for myself at 4am. Sleep mode😔

Bowerbird5 · 01/02/2018 04:44

Awake 4:25 am wow feel so much better this morning. Had lots of catch up naps yesterday in fact from about 11am when I finally got home I just seemed to nap on and off all day playing catch up I think. I took my steroids too which I realise I had missed in hospital. I did tell them and I meant to ask Dr if she was going to give me my nights worth. Then again I only had a sandwich for my tea. Luckily that day I had been home in the morning and had bacon and egg for breakfast, as I didn't have lunch as too busy setting classroom up and photocopying a set of plans and more worksheets. We had such a lovely two lessons. One of the children at the end of the day said "We're glad you're back we've really missed you teaching us. " I could have cried, bless them. I think I will go to school today. I have an easy morning.

I spent ages reading and catching up in fact when I finished I started a post only to fall asleep before posting it😳 you have been super busy. I think we are starting to fall into a pattern and this method is working. I always thought the fifteen minute thing was clever because once you get started you want to finish. I find now that whereas I sometimes left the dishes / kitchen at night when I was tired I don't want to now. Even when I was tired last night I did a second dishwasher of school stuff and shined my sink. How about you have you noticed any subtle changes where a little thing has actually become a habit?
Cags could you resend your pm please as I started to answer it then dozed off and it seems to have disappeared.😳 this morning.

Stilllivinginazoo · 01/02/2018 05:39
