But can you bend your good wishes toward Peter Rabbit because his eyes are huge and swollen and full of white discharge and even though he has been vax’d, i’m terrified its Myxomatosis. It could be something else to do with his teeth the other week and it could be conjunctivitis. But just don’t let […]

Gulp. What’s the going rate for a tooth these days? Maddy insisted i took this photo to show her disapproval at NOT having a wobbly tooth. We’ve had a manic, but largely useful, day. I stayed up too late websiting with Jax last night so was sleepy really but Moo went off to nursery and […]

The new toy being my DYMO label printer which is going to be the “new and efficient face” of BeadMerrily. A shocking amount of fun. Old rope is Fran’s writing; she’s a grown up, she can do joined up, “go away and stop teaching me mummy, i just want to PRACTISE!!!” My new student started […]

Think i need to resize Jax’s image….

Fran has just spontaneously burst into joined up writing! Not quite sure where it came from, we were doing the JP pages where a few of the middle letters are joined and she suddenly said she wanted to do all letters joined up, so i showed her a couple of words and she did it, […]

Poor old Ammi was a very sick child last night, wheezing, scratching, snotty, hurting and for some odd reason, holding one leg at an odd angle and comlaining of pain in her knee. So today we started off with a doctor trip and came home laden with stuff. She’s much improved now but on double […]

Just had a phonecall from the LEA. My report is lovely and he won’t be visiting. He’ll ring me in a year and i can tell him my preferred method of contact then. Now granted my report was fairly expansive and has some photos, but in this area, with our LEA (and with my general […]

I must have not had enough sleep or something, i’ve felt like i’m moon walking all day. Started off with a phone call from the playgroup i’d put Ammi’s name down for. I thought it started at age 3, so was expecting her to maybe go in September, but i’d more or less decided not […]

Grin… old joke now. I’m SO proud of myself for today. I’m not sure quite how it happened but everythng worked. Well, actually, Kate turned up so i was up and about and not using the computer from early on, before 9 anyway. Kate came, went and came back so in the intervening time i […]
