I shall keep it in mind after pay day. I'm getting a tax refund and hopefully will be buying a new PC. I just use my macbook at the moment and it's getting on a bit so is slowing down but it's just far easier to sit and work at a PC with a proper monitor. If I have some left over from the tax refund, I may treat myself 
Busy day for me today, hopefully! Just writing a holiday checklist at the moment, all the things I need to do before we go, then need to finish marking reading SATs papers, mark some books, plan a few lessons and finish tidying my room a little before Aaron gets here this afternoon. After all that I might be ready for a sleep!
Keep weighing myself in the morning, needs to stop! It's not really that big an issue, it's not like I HAVE to, it's just habit. It would probably be nicer to step on the scales and see it all as a bigger drop though rather than little drops across the week. So going to challenge myself to not weigh again now until Wednesday morning. It'll be tough!
Hope you all have a good day.

It's good. You tell it where you're going and what kind of holiday and then it suggests lots of things for each section, that you can take out or add to. You tick off things once they're done too. I've given Aaron the password so he can go on and change it, add to it etc. too. It's useful. It has a countdown too, though I have one on my phone so knew it was 180 days away already lol
All 30 reading tests marking, at last! Looking at the reading and maths tests as well as their independent writing task, all of them seem to be at or above where I said they were level wise a month or so ago, thank goodness! Few are slightly below but I know they didn't do their usual best and some even did better than I expected! Have to upload assessment levels in a couple of weeks ago have parents evening so it'll really help me with that.
Now on to marking books, planning, tidying and if I get time, applying for jobs lol I haven't even touched my MA work this week, oops!

I am very impressed Caz. Go to the top of the class for your organisation and list making skills.

It kept dripping on to my lips, didn't taste nice but smelled divine! Was meant to be a heating one, didn't seem to get very warm but it was nice. Face feels quite nice now.
Decided to start rewarding myself for every half stone that I lose. Nothing major, just something small that I'll need for holiday anyway. Thought it might be nice to have just a little something to add into a holiday pile ready for the summer. Think the bikinis will count as my next half stone, only 0.7lb away from that. Another one can be a new suitcase, a new book, things like that.
Who wants to finish tidying/cleaning my bedroom for me?!

Great idea, definately treat yourself along the way Caz It will make you even more determined to lose when you've got your eye on a new holiday item
Bikini is a pretty colour hun, I KNOW you will be slipping into that at holiday time
Much as I would love to come help you tidy up..I've got to get ready for my dinner date at 4pm!! hee hee
Have a good one Caz x

Chocolate orange face mask, mmmmm , I'd be tempted too !!!
Those cover ups are more fitted than the kaftan-y ones Caz, usually with more pretty details, like embroidery, sparkle, etc, so you don't feel like you are wearing a sack like cover up over your cossie !!! I've tried sarongs, which are okay, but these sheer cover ups look glamorous !!! I will try and find some nice examples......

That sort of thing, Caz.
I think I'm just a bit fussy about them as I still have flashbacks to the 1970s Terry Toweling scary ones that were all the rage back then when I was a kid !!

I call them kaftans. I have 2 that I took to Egypt. They were fab. Great cover up and really cool. Even looked fab with shorts and a tankini top if you are going for a walk.

Yeah they're what I thought you meant Diva! I'll definitely be getting a couple of those for holiday. They could be a nice half stone reward!
I've never, ever worn a bikini. Any partners I've had in the past have generally never seen me in just underwear! Starting to get a little more comfortable with Aaron now, think it's because it's been nearly a year and I'm losing weight too and so though I'm not happy with my body, I'm not unhappy. So it'll be a very new thing for me, IF I brave it!
