I appear to need to catch up again. 🙄 When i blogged last week about Josie at gym, i never came back to say what a lovely time we had together for the rest of the day. Annoyingly now, i can’t exactly remember it 😆 The big girls have been allowed to work on the […]

It is snow joke!
Very Proud of our little Gymmie.
This is worthy of a blog instead of the one liner on brightkite. At Gymmies today, Josie not only joined in much more confidently and started having fun much quicker, not only really listened to the people running the activities and got much better with each go and not only climbed to the very top […]
So, when i'm not trying to write answers to consultations…
… we get on with educational pursuits. The last 2 Thursdays we’ve had really good Brownie sessions – 2 weeks aog i led my first session and we did cress and mustard and bean sprouting, as part of the Seasons badge. This week many of them dressed up in Chinese outfits and we made red […]
Is home education a cover for child abuse?
Before i begin, i would like to make 3 things very clear. 1. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a politically active home educator. I home educate for my own reasons and in a general sense tend not to get overheated about political changes that perhaps i should care about more. But […]
Ask me why I home educate?
my photoshop skills are really not too good. If anyone wants to take the idea and make it look better, format it better, change the photos to their own etc etc or if anyone wants my photos to just do a better job, please feel free. I like the idea, but my execution isn’t very […]
It's carpet Jim, but not as we know it.
Sometimes, it feels like much more than 2 weeks since the cleaners last came. (Damn, giving up cleaners as redundancy reality bites is going to be hard.) Today was definitely one of them, with mess beginning to creep up in the “i can’t face doing anything because it is all so untidy” sort of way. […]
Speak your mind!
If i hadn’t had a splitting headache for most of it, today would have been an excellent day. As it was, it was mostly passable with some excellent bits and no awful bits (unless you count the endless “WE BLOODY DO OWN SOCKS, SO GO AND FIND SOME!!!!!!” arguments.) The big girls are very into […]
Growing Up.
Josie is well and truly into the “4 years old and THINKING DEEPLY and sometimes WORRYING” phase now. She’s a smart enough little cookie and exposed to far more than her sisters were at her age; she isn’t phased by Doctor Who (which would have terrified Fran even as a 7 year old) and can […]
It's all a bit like a Bucks Fizz song.
Although in general, people don’t remember the come back song called New Beginnings. But i do feel a bit like i’m living in The Land of Make Believe because life has taken a dramatic change. And no, no one ripped my skirt off… yet. Friday was a day of high stress indeed; Fran went off […]
