I wonder if terms are the natural length of a person’s ability to concentrate, or if i am conditioned by a life time of terms? Either way, i ain’t got no steam. At least not for anything concrete-ly.. worky.. type.. stuff. Erm… Fortuanately Fran begged for one of my Hama Space kits today and spent […]

Fran and Ammi were both hot and poorly overnight, including headgripping and wailing from Fran at 3am but both seemed utterly fine today. Bizarre. So off we went to Maddy’s nursery singalong and very lovely it was too. Was sort of funny becauyse she is so much bigger and more confident than the 3 year […]

Can i just mention how unbelievably irritating the man in Staples was, who called me “my love” after every sentence? He was younger than me!!!!!!! Oh, we have horrible bugs now. Fran and Ammi are both hot and white and shaky. I’m “remaining calm but watchful” over Fran who has freezing hands to go with […]

The MP ones are in envelopes, the family ones are assembled, my Neopian ones are sent, the washing is done, the children seem happy… all been quite productive. Maddy had a nice day at nursery, Fran played DK History Explorer and conquered several time zones, Ammi is a bit hot and lay on the sofa […]

Well, not so much, but i do have a mincepie craving. I have to say though, i’m scarily organised. All the girls presents are bought, most are wrapped, the cards are all made. The girls are away for the weekend and i’ll be making a few bits for relatives then but otherwise, i’m the most […]

Last night Max and i watched the new extended Return of the King – fabulous, some fabulous baddies… ooooh to the Mouth of Sauron!!! Josie snoozed on my shoulder throughout, Max and i had a lovely evening together, felt very happy and peaceful. So no idea why i then had a night full of dreaming […]

Maths goals for Yr 2 according to NC in UK * count, read, write and order numbers up to 100 – work on read and write * count up and down in ones or tens from any two-digit number – check 10’s * double or halve numbers up to 10 – just checked, she can! […]

Thought today was going to go a bit wrong first thing really – a general selection of fighting, bickering etc but we managed to pull it round thankfully. Not quite sure how really but we did. First off, they all sat and watched the JP videos i got from ELC with the 20% discount and […]

So far, its been a really nice week. (Just had to go and check on the blog it hadn’t included shouty days!) Considering i unexpectedly no longer had midweek company and help, there has been peace and tranquility pretty much the whole time. Today just went really nicely. Fran made a heap of hama stockings […]
