Knitting and ecotech.
Today was my deadline before my second extension for my TMA, so obviously I was frantically writing it up and trying to finish it off yesterday. :/ Wonder if I’ll ever get to a point where I don’t run my head into deadlines before I start doing something about whatever it is I’m doing? Anyway,…
it's the weekend
Not that you can really tell much difference around here tbh, the children play as they always play, and if they get bored I pull something else out, so today Small was doing another Bond paper, this time maths. I printed the 5-6 this time and he was very cross with me, as he wanted…
A good couple of days
Tim decided against sleeping on the floor at old house and came back in the middle of the night, meaning that I didn’t need to roust the children out and catch a bus to the hospital, but could instead drive, on my own. I was very grateful for both these points 🙂 And then when…
Library, gardening and Weakest link.
Yesterday, after lying around feeling sorry for myself for a while (which seems to be a common theme among my friends atm 😉 ) I pulled myself together and took the children to the library. Big decided she wanted to have another go at reading the Deathly Hallows and checked online that they had copies,…
Sunny day with added playdough.
Once again the main focus to the day as far as the children were concerned was playdough. They played a long (approx 2 1/2 hour) game which involved them making things and selling them in their imaginary shop. Eventually they got bored of this, and came to tell me what a wonderful day they had…
And another day passes
Tim and Small finished putting the curtain rail back up this morning and thus the computer/ tv ban was over, so they celebrated with a viewing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I saw a game, Harry Potter Scene It? 2nd Edition DVD Game, in a charity shop the other day that I…
working out which way is up
Actually did some stuff with/for the kids today – unpacked five boxes labelled craft shelves in the hope of finding the cards, and only found one kit, but it was enough to get them both set up making birthday cards for forthcoming celebrations. Big was also particularly thrilled to use her embossing tools, as we…
Exhaustion, nausea and other stuff
Actually, the first two factors mean there isn’t a lot of other stuff going on 🙁 Children have been largely self entertaining, although we did take them out and buy them new maths workbooks as the previous ones are in a box somewhere. Big started on Mega Maths this afternoon, she can do it fine,…
Traumatised cat.
When I opened the ladder up to our loft bedroom last night, I realised that the cat had once again expressed his displeasure with the move in the standard way, fortunately this time on the spare quilt rather than on the bed 🙁 So this morning we togged him up with a harness and lead…
Feeling wobbly.
Another day of removing things – Tim is now in Suffolk with a van load of our furniture and boxes and bedding (kids and I have camping mats tonight, I miss our memory foam mattress already 🙁 ) Big has had major wobbles with me this evening, sparked off by my asking if she would…
