for our holidays.
We’ve got two home ed camps booked this summer, and so far, all we have is a tent. Figuring we may need some more stuff (in fact, I think Joyce did a rather nice list) so I thought it might be time to start gathering some more items. So I got dd to put on some clothes instead of her rather fetching witch dressing up dress, and we toddled out to do some price matching.
Big W were looking promising with air beds that come with rechargeable power inflaters (double for £19.99, single £11.98), but they were seriously trumped by Morrisons double air bed at £9.99, single £6 odd. Didn’t actually buy them today (couldn’t carry them with the basket of shopping, the buggy to push and the four year old to chase) but I foresee a return trip. Might be sending dp back to Big W anyway, as there was a rather natty pvc walk in greenhouse for £29.99 that I quite fancy, but wasn’t sure whether it would really be any good. Thought it might be worth a go – got to be better than leaving all the seeds I’ve bought in their packets anyway.
With regards to the witch costume, it sparked a rather involved conversation between myself and dp today. I wondered if it were disrespectful to wiccans for dd to be dressing up as the stereotypical witch, and that led to us discussing the whole negative portrayal of witches as part of a method for patriachal societies to control ppl. OK, so it was a bit surreal I suppose, but I enjoyed the thinking.
Dd didn’t have the best of days though, as she seemed intent on challenging me every step of the way. Think I’ll have to be a bit more organised tomorrow. And with that in mind, think I’ll clear off to bed now.
