A bright sunny day makes all the the difference, doesn’t it? 🙂 Especially when you get an hour off to go cycling in it, which made me very happy indeed. The headwind was a bit brisk, and i forgot my gloves, but the amount of work my legs were doing warmed me up plenty 🙂 […]

… wake up till 12pm 😯 I’ve not be able to lie in (in the proper sense of being midday style slovenly) for ages; in fact, it was just about the only indication i had that i was pregnant last year, becasue i suddenly slept in til 10am for 2 days running. And since then, […]

Much like last year, well, the beginning of it, the girls seem largely content with a diet of skill gathering and story based information at the moment. The Antartica thing was nice and has captured their imagination briefly, but i think having explored the basics of the geography and some map work, the animals, the […]

Well today would be thrice argh! I’ve had a hugely entertaining day, spending my time and irritatingly my own money, making calls to sort out the cock ups of three separate companies. 👿 First off was the letter from Royal Mail in answer to MY letter asking why they hadn’t changed the address of my […]

A Nokia N73 – i’ve no idea if it will be any good but it was free and it’s pretty. Doesn’t have sat nav, but appears to be able to ding and dance in a manner to rival Michael Flatley. I managed to figure out Bluetooth long enough to swap my numbers across, which may […]

So – thursday mainly consisted of tidiying up in the morning, sining tunes from the Muppets Treasure Island and some basic normals from everyone. Maddy read me half of P&J 3b, making it clear even to her that she can in fact read 🙂 Everyone was reasonably happily occupied and that left me time to […]

Look how popular i am 🙂 😉 😉 😉 Would that make this a good “lurkers unlurk!!!” moment? Hellooooo out there, please say hello!!!!!

But there is a lot that is good about ordinary 🙂 Marshalled the children early and got some work out of them; EC for Fran, a whole P&J book from Maddy (woot!) and then some Studydog, some Fimo and writing from Amelie (and Josie… “i do my maffs mummy..”This, along with bits of blogging, some […]
