participate in a 43T working-at-home support group

I didn’t post here last week and the week seemed to slip past me with not much achieved. Grrrr!!

Better get started then.

- Monitor TGF entries and reply as appropriate
- Plan dayschool
- Deliver dayschool on Saturday
- Prep draft module 1 and send in (I think I need to break this down into smaller chunks, as this is the albatross around my neck at the moment).
- Post to website daily (one update a day will keep things ticking over)

argh! really want to be getting on with my story, but…
