Released from captivity

comments from Trog, Sarah and Joyce. Sorry guys.

And in the time I was dealing with the 864 spam that were in there as well, I got another 20 spam! Really don’t understand why they do it – I suppose that there *are* websites that allow spam through but I still don’t think it’s an effective marketing technique.

Right, have just had my first sit down (and food) since I crawled out of bed at 10.15, and need to get up and at it again. Small smells (again), there’s washing to hang out (again) and shopping to bring in (again).

Am beginning to wonder whether it’s financially viable for me to work – it means we’ve to run two cars, with all the associated costs, childcare which isn’t what I wanted anyway, and I don’t seem to have an awful lot left of my so called take home pay at the end of it. But Tim’s work is only temporary, while mine is supposed to be permanent, so it would seem foolish to give mine up right at the moment.

Can you tell I’m chasing myself in circles atm? Much more to ponder on and discuss coming up later, after I deal with the backside, the shopping, the washing and the kitchen. Oh, and spend some time with the children, knew there was something else I wanted to do today!

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
