Wednesday - Come FLY with us!

[Simply]

Hello to everyone.

mission

Back in a mo.

I feel a bit of a cheat starting the thread when I'm still in my pjs. I need to ring the hairdressers and make an appointment for having my hair coloured either today or tomorrow if they can fit me in. I'll do that now. After that I'm going to try to sort out the to-ing and fro-ing for the hols.

Thanks for the nice warm freshly baked thread Simply

I am feeling sooo cold. Ds1 and I have just come in from a [too early] phsyio appt, he has a chesty cold and is now wrapped up in front of telly, and I need to get going on housey things. I think it was just one stagger too many for ds1.

First
Piano (did some last night as well and before breakfast)

clear breakfast things
make beds
change ds2's sheets and ds1's duvet
hang my clothes up hang my clothes up hang my clothes up

then I'll make the next list

Morning all - busy day here.

Should be at school but they are making xmas cards so i've been let off to do more prep for my interview tomorrow so prepping until lunch, then school this afternoon, sign language tonight and then..... panic about my interview. I'm really nervous, having horrible dreams about not getting to the interview or breaking down on motorway - totally unreasonable but there you are.

So i'm planning to put the books away at 12.30 and then not worry about it and try to get an early night tonight.

Hope everyone is ok. Simply good on you for still having PJs on, sometimes we need a slow start to a morning instead of rushing. Hope you get your hair appointment. Swan hope DS feels better after relaxing on the sofa and you get your jobs done.

I may be back later

MC - you should be proud of yourself for having got this far.
And you know what - you said you are nervous about breaking down - I can't even drive a car on a motorway, so you are more confident than you think in lots of ways.
With tests and appts there is nothing you can do beyond a certain point, so you have to just accept it will be over soon and that you have prepared as best you pssibly can.

Aargh done the milk trick with the breakfastdishes again [splurt emoticon]
