Hmmm deciding what to do about daughter selling MY motorbike, not happy to let her have all of the value, which is not a lot actually, but it is the principle of the thing really...

So tired this week, really struggled with diet, why when I have so many good reasons to lose weight do end up eating crap? I will do better, planning is the key...

I went for a swim before work , managed 20 lengths need to get back in to going 3 times a week. Parent info evening tomorrow so will not be home 'til late and we have staff meeting on Thursday zzzzz

Must go to bed earlier, trying so hard to be organised.

The walk into town this morning was so quiet and peaceful, there was a nip in the air but the sun was just starting to warm that away. The river was quiet, the roads were quiet and I was glad to be alive!

Got some new trousers to day as most of mine are now too big :) nice feeling, also got a new top for work. I have to keep up the standard of my appearance now I am an assistant head!

Just been out in the garden looking at the moon! Decided to have a go at taking a photo of the moon, this was on full zoom so quite pleased with it (we'll not mention all of the ones I deleted as they didn't work!

Glad it's the weekend, need to rest and gather my thoughts. Today was not too stressful, the DSS interview went well and Andy seems ok.

Could do with out the Rainbows thing tomorrow, would really like to sleeeeep. Still I can have a lie in on Sunday.

Just a few random thoughts

Saw a flock of geese flying overhead on Sunday...made me think of winter. The weather is so cold it feels almost like winter is nearly here.

Full moon tonight and a clear sky, hauntingly beautiful in the garden.

Wish I could capture both of the on camera but I did savour the emotions they inspired.

Bah! Back to school and life gets hectic again!!!

Andy is at the DSS doctors tomorrow so is quite uptight, not sure how that will go...can only hope it is ok

Everyone at work is getting pregnant which means fun is ahead!

Tired tonight so off to bed.

Crossword and biscuits from yesterday! Did upload them yesterday but then deleted them by mistake (D'oh) and couldn't get them to re load!! The biscuits went down very well I am glad to say, quite soft and chewy. Nom nom.

Well I haven't done anything creative today but I have been to work and my classroom finally looks like I am ready to go back to work. There are quite a few things I need to do before then though. My presentation is one of them. Eeeek! Not sure where to start with that one but at least i have an idea about what the others are doing so I will get organised and prepare something worth doing!

My new number one rule is going to be Do It NOW! Although i will also continue to make lists because I will have to prioritise jobs as well as I can't do the all NOW!

I am also going to start to use my Franklin properly so that I can get done the things I need to get done!!

One thing that did occur to me yesterday is that if I am going to make things that are small (ie bags and so on) I could look in the many many charity shops around where we live and use and reclaimed fabrics I find there! I suppose I also wonder what I will make and then what I will do with it once I have made it!! If I made enough stuff i could always sell it...school fetes etc? That would give me plenty of time to make things in between times as there are 2 fetes a year (Christmas being the next one...)

Must go and do some things NOW!

So what have I done today?

Baked cookies (yum)

Started a crossword

And shined my sink among other things, also made a frittata (was going to take a picture but ate it first!) also cut down some rather large bushes in the garden...

New beginnings

It is a long time since I posted.

Having looked at and read quite a few 'crafty' blogs lately I feel an urge to make things! I'm not sure what though. There are so many talented and clever people out there that I wonder if I can make stuff as good as theirs? Self-doubt is one of those things that plauges me. And why should I worry about my 'things' being as good as someone else's anyway?? What does it matter? So many of the things I see are easy to make and I know I could make them well. Do I perhaps feel reluctant to start things because I know how bad I am at finishing them? Maybe.

I see that I posted a while back about being a procrastinator...some things never change. I wonder why I put thing off when if I did them straight away it would be so much easier. Work starts again next week and I have to get myself motivated to do the things that need doing, There are so many things I could do...where have I heard that before!?! I am a little anxious about the changing role at work, I guess because it is out of my comfort zone. Again what if I am not good enough. I really feel like I have been in the role for quite a while without it being official. What changes will the 'officialness' make? Accountability is a big one and also visibility perhaps. Time will tell, I hope I do the job well!!
