cos although I might not turn into a pumpkin, I want to get to bed today! Some challenge though, as I’ve to blog, excavate the kitchen and get the washing on first…
Anyway. As mentioned earlier I had an extra child overnight last night, which meant that I barely saw Big this morning. Result! 😉 Actually, they were great together. Did seem to me that Big was being rather bossy, but I’m not quite sure what to do about that – yelling at her not to yell doesn’t seem to make too much sense :-/
We were supposed to be going to chesterfield to a nappuccino to meet with various ppl and give E back to Barbara, but Sarah called me to say she wasn’t going to make it as Dino isn’t well 🙁 Called the other friend, K, who was due to be there, to discover that she wasn’t there either, so it began to seem a bit silly for both Barbara and I to drive to Chesterfield basically to see each other. And as by this time it was rapidly approaching 11 and I *still* hadn’t caught Small to change his nappy (he hates having his nappy changed and runs away screaming, which does make life a little more difficult) we gave up on the whole thing, and I just went to Barbara’s instead.
Once there, quick lunch and Barbara headed out with B to nursery and to call in to Lembas. The girls disappeared upstairs, leaving me with Small and R, which was extremely pleasant. R gurgled and rolled about and played with her gym and her feet, and Small found some cars and some lego and played with those, so I perused the opitec catalogue at my leisure. Keep looking at this stuff which appears to be similar to elc magic maize, but a lot cheaper. Has anyone any experience of it?
Tonights ballet lesson was the one I got to watch, and so came home to drop Small off with Tim and take Big on to ballet. They both fell asleep in the car on the way back – guess it was a late night after all then. Ballet was interesting – but Big was completely fixated on me and not on the teacher at all, so I don’t think I got a good idea of her capabilities at all.
Home, bath, bed and more interesting conversations with Tim about LEAs and so on. Right off now!

so kwym about racing to finish a day before midnight! It was very amusing to text you in the day with my request for Barbara’s number and find you *at* her house!
Looked at the fischertip link but my German isn’t up to translating most of it … is there a uk link anywhere?
Would love to hear more about the ballet lesson and the interesting conversations if you have time to write about them …
its the same as magic maize just a tiny bit smaller.
omg – that damn stuff. Never did come up with a use for the ton weight of it we bought. Ended up abandoning it at an unsuspecting HE camp.
About the bossy thing- I don’t know how old Big is but Pip is just 7 and if I’m honest can be quite bossy. Titch is shaping up the same way, some times it gets too much and I have to step in but mostly I just take the attitude that I really don’t want to raise my daughters to be doormats and if I overshoot to a bit domineering….
