My cousin is one talented lady! Everything was woodland themed- mushrooms made from marshmallows and chocolate, hedgehogs, toadstools, “wild berries” and much much more. She’d make a great infant teacher 🙌🏻

Oh I feel your pain 😩 50 pages in is good going though! I’ve been looking at it so long I’m questioning every spelling and spacing length at this stage. Best of luck with yours 🤗

Just spent the last 7 hours “proof reading” my thesis 🫣. I may have to delegate its submission to my husband at this stage.

Speaking aloud to my dog (who is thoroughly enjoying me working from home at the moment), I said: “I’m going to put on my eyebrows and go get an iced mocha”. Lola does not care for my plans, once she can continue to 😴

Excellent- good to know! This is right up my street at the moment 🙌🏻

I want to buy all of the plants and planters and turn my garden into a ✨garden✨

Currently turning old paint cans into planters because my budget will not cooperate with my ideas!

I taught in Qatar in my mid twenties also and the respect that the profession has there is huge too. Career progression opportunities, job satisfaction, albeit longer hours, it’s much more attractive.

I’ll do some pre-pruning pruning tomorrow to give it some chance 🫣😂

I’m noticing a consistent pattern in the “good days” of my data analysis writing- the productivity miraculously improves with an iced mocha to hand and a purple snack. 🍫

Our new school building looking fabulous 🤩 the comments section, however, is hugely disappointing! Best of luck to all in LEETNS with the grand opening after the break. A truly great school community! www.facebook.com/share/v/16Pb...

Find someone who looks at you like Lola looks at her iced woofin. Happy 4th birthday to our lovable ball of fluff 🖤
