I had so many good intentions today. Well, at least I got the car serviced
Let’s see. I wanted to clear out bits of the dining room - Tim managed to hoover in there at least. I pulled a couple of bits out and I have a big pile of stuff [...]
Now, how long is it going to be before I join the select crew of Wizard Whimstaff results in google?
Tim took Big out today, and they went to wilkos and bought Wizard Whimstaff’s Hilarious Handwriting (aka Basic Skills: Handwriting: Ages 6-7 (Basic Skills)) and his Toady Times Tables: Magical Skills Level 1 (Magical [...]
Blogging with Opera Mini, a mobile phone and T-Mobile web and walk. A about o2 call centre coming soon…
where would I be?
‘cos I can’t find it. I don’t need it to renew my insurance, regular readers will know that I did that three weeks ago. But I need the renewal sheet as it has evidence of my no claims bonus on it, and my new company needs that evidence. And [...]
This afternoon I got the afternoon I’d been looking forward to having yesterday, iyswim I dragged myself out of bed and mediated between screaming children (Big had decided to get dressed, which meant Small wanted to get dressed, but Big wasn’t doing it right (he doesn’t like having his ears touched much)) then [...]
Small wanted a different cd on the puter
It’s been a busy morning, with Small playing happily on cbeebies with Mr Tumble, having previously done some fabric land game he found. He came charging in with instructions that he’d printed out about paper weaving, so I got him the bits he needed and he did a tiny bit of that, before declaring [...]
Now, I know it’s Sunday. I know it’s a day of rest for many. I know that my children don’t know that, and one of the things they’ve never got around to learning is that education is supposed to happen 9 -3.30, Mon-Fri, within the walls of a school. I’m quite pleased [...]
given that presents on Thursday night count as part one
Long day though first, as there was lots to be done. Small had a hearing appt first thing this morning, so he and I were out bright and early (well, 9.30, which is bright and early for a Saturday I think ) [...]
Feeling that we did more history on Friday night, seems to be the in thing atm. Sat morning wandered around packing up the car with overnight gear that included a tent (!) and we pootled off the path which was lovely. Lots of other puddlers there as well, and most of us stayed [...]
Been like that here this morning.
After staying up ludicrously late working last night (and *still* not getting project in hand finished, doh!) I had set the alarm knowing that Sarah was dropping Dino off for the day around 10. I also knew that the nursery nurse was coming, but somehow I’d got that in [...]
He’s been sleeping on the compost bin for a while, but tonight he appears to have decided to move in. If he keeps the grotty cats from next door out, it’s a deal
And in other news, well, I already blogged the SALT phone call. Pulled up Something Special on the desktop [...]
out of Merry’s book, been targetting my efforts this morning!
Gotta love those red nose readers - Big is sitting on the floor right now reading one, and Small is on the couch looking at another. They are excellent!
OK, quick round up of the day so far. Despite feeling like death only slightly warmed [...]
Pleasant afternoon in the main, children ran in and out a lot, Small tried to fall asleep on the sofa and we refused to let him, and I did roast dinner and actually got it all ready together and earlier than the time I’d said I would! Result
Forgot to mention that Small [...]
Have had the news on most of the day, something I don’t think I’ve really done before. Not sure that it was a particularly sensible thing to do, it’s left me feeling rather drawn out and detached from our reality here.
And that during a hectic day too. Got up early this morning and [...]
So good, that Big cried with joy when she found the missing computer game at her place at the table this morning Or so she tells us - I was still in bed!
Small is also still in bed. I’m assuming that this is because he was hot and uncomfortable and didn’t get [...]
hm, my blog appears to have disappeared under a welter of political links and news stories. Not quite sure how *that* happened.
So what have we been doing? Well, took Small for his slightly belated MMR this morning - he was ever so good. I think he understands rather more than he lets [...]
Been working pretty hard this weekend, though not quite as successfully as I’d like, and so we don’t seem to have done much that’s terribly exciting. The good news is that Big is getting much better at entertaining herself, has begun to turn the television off, or request the radio on (! I’ve got [...]
of mine never work out.
We did some maths (Exeter of course ), we did some reading, we did more Studydog. You’re right Merry, that’s starting to look like a blogring curriculum!
We didn’t do a whole lot else. I did hear her learning some Spanish from Dora, and Small [...]
I seem to be permanently a day behind!
Let’s see, we’ve had a really lazy day. Feeling a bit rough myself, and sky’s really grey, so pjs were the order of the day, and taking it easy.
Lots of imaginative play meant that the floor went missing very early on, and didn’t reappear til I finally [...]
