Spot the film? Sigh… Fran has been a complete loony today, which has been a little on the irritating side. A bit of a reversal to the child of 2 years ago who used to drive me, screaming, up the wall. Just wall to wall whingy voices, wailing, screeching, temper-y, won’t settle to anything nonsense […]

I’m in imminent danger of throttling my eldest. Just thought i’d, you know, stand shoulder to shoulder with you ;~)

I’ve done it now, Maddy is going to expect a whole different sort of home-ed experience i fear! Last night she asked me how cartoons are made, i told her that today i would show her, when we got back from ther home ed group trip to the museum. I couldn’t remember what we were […]

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 […]
