Star loft approach is a good one, but I'd start with just two things, otherwise you get bogged down - I have chucked old tatty buggy and some maternity clothes. No point agonising over last few babyclothes - nice to give them to a friend when that special new mother/friend comes along - although BIL theory is chuck the babythings - hey presto new baby will follow [not sure if you wanted to hear that

was going to come and post that I have finished my assigment. then I clicked no instead of yes when pc asked if i wanted to save and I have lost 6224 words, its gone and i cant seem to find any of it on pc anywhere

so giving up am very p*ed off with myself. am going to collect dd and hope when i get back laptop will cough my assignment back out from wherever it went

Dylsmum oh No! - Have you tried the recent documents list when you open word. I hope you find it.

Well I've just had a phone call offering me a new school placement for a week in June/July as per the requistite for my PGCE course so I am happy. I couldn't use the school the I volunteer in now as its only an Infants school and it needed to be the next key stage.

I've been an got some shopping for tea - New potatoes, griddled tuna steak and salad for me. Stuffed peppar stuffed with yesterdays left over chilli for DH. Couldeat mine now but I have to wait until after weight in

Right off to sort out kitchen and paperwork mountain - Back later

Dyls does it not auto save?! Horrible!
Changes great on the school placement thing, good! What diet thing are you doing?
star what you phoning and apologising for?!
swan LOL at socks - I have to buy spring/summer dresses for DD

Well am minus a tenner from the school book fair for two books - usually get all their books at Works or Bookpeople so am very
Morning good in nursery, gym joey with DD then friend and DD's friend came for a cuppa. Nice, but DD's friend always trashes both DD's and DS's bedrooms, tries on every pair of pyjamas with no pants ... etc. Too trivial to mention to my friend but I end up washing all the pyjamas ... I am funny with that sort of thing, especially since her DD has had worms twice in the last few months!!

So that's all my very minor woes.

Lovely day but haven't managed to get outside unfortunately!

BBL

dyls is the reaction I had as well when I read it! I've done the same Good luck finding it.
Just had to have 10 mins nap while Little bear was watching T.V feel better now. Must be my mediterranean blood.
Right off to make tea Fish with pots &veg so simple!

no it not in my recent list, I hadnt named the file either as it was a new one i started this morning. am so cross with myself. Am sure it is on pc somewhere as it autosaves work as I am going. according to ds cos I clicked no to saving that is why i cant find it (he understands these things much better than i do )
Going to take tomorrow off of placement I think so that I can redo it- its due in less than a fortnight and have another assignment due in same time I havent started yet. can't believe I been so daft. with myself

MC well done on the school placement, if I don't get a place on GTP I will be organising that placement for my PGCE, do you have a big worksheet (more like folder) to complete during your 2 weeks?

WEndy school book fairs are expensive arent they- I am very selective what I will buy at them and tell dc I will buy the books they want on amazon when we get home

better go and check dinner- its cooking at the mo

BBL

Happy birthday to tea's ds1 if she is lurking

The meeting at work went ok. Basically there is no real role for me in the new structure , I will be working between 2 teams (ward based and community based) going where needed. I am starting to think this could be quite nice .

Dylsmum we have some tasks to do but its only a weeks progress. Need to observe a student for 1/2 day, a teacher for 1/2 day and do tasks around behaviour management etc. I hope you find the essay

Wolf lovely aunt for doing the dresses for you

Scatty gld you like the sound of your wor reshuffle

played hide n seek with dd before she went to bed. then played monopoly city with ds once dd was in bed, he asked when i collected him from school if we could play a board game tonight as we never play them anymore. It used to be part of our routine that dd woould go to bed then we would play, have been so busy lately it hasnt happened, need to make mor eof an effort to play with dc properly and not be distracted while I am. think i may try and set a scheduled time when we do something together to make sure other things don't take over again.

re assignment have had one friend trying to help me find my file, another trying to make me laugh and feel better about losing said file
I have resigned myself to thea fact it has gone nd have begun redoing it whilst watching one born every minute, have never watched any birth programmes before (chicken!) and found it very emotional. managed to get to 1219 words done, will get it finished tomorrow. am off to bed now

night all

Wolf good new. What a lovely aunt.
Scatty That's good news
Dyls still crossing fingers for you
MC & {grin] I should pull my finger out
I'm starting my job on Monday now a bit apprehensive now! Hope I can cope I haven't had a real office job in 22 yrs I help set up a Domestic Violence unit in 1989 but I only worked with one other person (still a close friend) and we apparently unusually went out to visit our victim so that wasn't office bound either!
Need to also plan Easter so DH's DIY get done, Little bear is happy and I'm not feeling guilty! Still haven't really worked out an evening or morning routine! Sorry

Wolf clever aunt
Dylsmum it must be there somewhere - is it worth taking it to a computer shop? Did you write from notes?
MC that sounds a delicious healthy meal
Scatty was it v stressful leading the team reviously?

tiring day - friend is v ill in hospital with the same thing I think Tea had - sept -(though not same cause) so thinking about her (friend), and her dcs who of course don't realise just how ill she is
Ds1 and dd being lovely, ds2 becoming obsessive - generally feeling like I've lost the upper hand again but so relieved we are all healthy and safe.
Cooked a delicious homemade quiche full of onions to zap dh's cold, and ate a lot of raw cabbage to zap mine.

Morning all

Popping in very quickly as abit early to be MNing but I'm eating breakfast.

Done:
Dressed - me first time in ages before last minute, getting back into FLYing mode!
W/M nearly finished.
Dd breakfast eaten, ds breakfast half eaten -as usual

To do:
Bank to pay in cheque, thanks Dad bank balance will be back to zero so can now sleep at night without nightmares of red pound signs coming to get me. It wasn't actualy that bad I just have big issues with being in the red, having an accountant for a Dad I think!
Bathroom haven't actualy done anything in their this week but ours is so small only takes 30 minutes to do all 3 missions.

Yesterday sorted through back log of post so I'm going to re-write my routines today to include sorting post and doing my physio excercises on my knee both which I keep forgetting/ avoid doing.

Anyway enough waffling breakfast is finished it's now 7:30 and I need to put the washing out.

I will be back when I return from town and have cleaned the bathroom with proper chats to everyone - I'm not awake enough yet!

Have a good morning everyone

Hi Shannara - size zero sounds good bankwise
I too got dressed first thing, in order to take cat to vet for neutering he is such a sweet frisky cat feeling v. bad for him - but everyone tells me it is right thing to do.
Still haven't heard how friend in hosp is doing and whether she is out of danger - just hope things improved in the night - all news is filtering through mutual friends as her family is in the thick of it.

Dh did morning get kids out of house routine, I don't realise how tiring it is until I don't do it!!!!

Think I will press on now with various tasks, and report back if any get done

Morning all

Well I have so far deposited DD to GP's and been to the shops to do my weekly shopping. Feeling quite good at getting it over and done with early today.

To DO

• Washing, washing and more washing
• Sign language revision
• Have a relaxing bath at some point - Ok more likely a super-quick shower but I can dream
• Physio knee exercises - need to get into habit of doing these earlier as its getting to be after 10pm at moment and then late in bed
• Try and get a bit of assignment done
• Menu plan for rest of week
• Mission
• Online shopping for a few bits
• Try and find the exercise bike (Under DHs shirts and other bits and bobs) to try and get some exercise as no chance of getting to gym again
• School

Back at lunchtime to catch up on thread

Star good luck with the new job

Shanna hello, its is lovely when bank accounts loose their redness

have reconciled myself to the fact my work has gone, no money to go to a computer shop to get it back. luckily i did manage not to delete my notes! I have been sat working on the essay again all morning have 4000 words so far, so feeling optimistic that I can do it today. Feeling bad I let school down though I have just started taking a couple of children per session who need extra support, and I didnt go in today because of needing to get the assignment done, its due friday and I have lectures and interviews tomorrow so I wont be able to get it done then, only option was to take today off to do it.

Just had a letter through from ds's new school he starts in sept, with a a uniform list-£200 to get all that, plus he need a laptop (the one he has isnt good enough ), a school trip to france in sept, another £200.
the laptop is able to be paid over 3 years but still seems ridiculous that he cant use his, because they cant just sell me the school software to make his compatible with their system. Ds says his dad is going ot buy the laptop but he is very unreliable with money so I will end up paying for it I'm sure.
Oh well I always knew school would be more expensive when he gets to secondary and at least by the time dd gets to secondary ds will have left, so will only have one at a time to shell out for

quick list for today;
finish assignment
hoover
wash up
unload washer
reload washer
s&s bathroom
iron
buy easter eggs

must get on and get this essay finished my 10 mins break must be near an end so BBL
