ARGH! Group tomorrow, had a rough plan of doing “People” as a theme, but have completely failed to get organised! Who is planning on coming and can anyone bring an activity? Pleeeeease……

Slow start, Kate came round, throat has kindly subsided, J appeared. Still v quiet, slightly baffling me. Big girls did some studydog, geomags, made necklaces, hama-ed, played ponies. Had lunch, marshalled everyone out. Had a lovely time with Tammy and Sam – somehow where they live feels like a totally different town. Effected an interesting […]

Bob’s big project Well!!!! Now WHERE to find the flaming brick to print off??? ARGH!

I thought i ought to just put a bit of “where she is at” for posterity, since i don’t get all that much time to talk about her. So… STILL hasn’t rolled over, although if you put her on her front she holds herself up well. She can get half over, she just hasn’t gone […]

Maddy (looking at Noddy picture): What’s his name? Me: His name is Big Ears… Maddy: Oh….(pause….) Why’s he called Big Ears? Okaaaaaay…….
