What I want to do

crawl off in a corner and sleep.

What I’m going to do:

wash up (put washed up stuff away).

clean the paint off the kitchen surfaces and the paint pots.

eat something.

put more washing on.

get some washing in.

put clothes away.

make lunch for children

shower

find library books – go to library

go shopping

find sofas

clean up table under floor

excavate dining table.

paperwork – shuffle credit card balance around

overtime form (which I’ve just realised is horribly past the cutoff date. Sigh. Oh well, will get good pay in August.)

reorganise school standing order.

do some site work.

by that time it will probably be tea time. At that point I might allow myself a sit down with some blogs to read, or Head First Design Patterns that I’ve borrowed from Jonathan.

Ooh, borrowing. That reminds me, BorrowMe have pre-launched.

  1. That’s far too much for a hot day like today. We’ve done practically nothing.

  2. So Jax – are you already a borrowme member? I like the sound of that 🙂

  3. Borrow me looks interesting. Not sure what I’d want to just loan out and what would be better just sold or Freecycled so it’s out of the house. I suppose if I thought I was going to need it again at some point in the future and felt I could trust the borrower I might do it.

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.
