I remember now that I am supposed to be HEing…

but I guess I’m autonomous or on Christmas holidays or something – well anyway I can forge my mum’s signature and get a note from her to excuse me on account of being poorly. 🙂

Ady’s been off today using up end of the year holiday days, we’re off to France tomorrow on an adults only trip which we’re really looking forward to – no doubt reports and photos will be available sometime on Thursday. My parents are having the children for the day and Dad will be arriving at about 5.30am tomorrow, so that will be a nice long day for everyone 😉 Actually I am secretly hoping that the children wake up before we leave really otherwise it will be the first time ever I don’t see them all day as it will be almost the next day before we get home again and I sincerely don’t want them to be waiting up!

So today we went into town for a few bits and pieces, the children needed their feet measuring – pleased to report that making them smoke to stunt their growth seems to be working and neither of them need new shoes yet ;-). Also popped in to see my Mum at work which always scores stacks of brownie points as she gets to show off to all her colleagues what a close family we are ;-). Finally I wanted to sort out an upgrade on my mobile phone but the high street shop couldn’t do it, so I’ve done it online instead and my new one should arrive here tomorrow. 🙂

We came home and Davies slumped on the sofa all tired and floppy for most of the rest of the afternoon. I nipped out to the library to take a couple of books back and then we played a few educational online games on my laptop and signed back up for yet another free trial with educationcity. Tarly is excellent with the laptop mouse pad and it was very interesting to watch their different approaches to the matching games – Tarly was very structured in her method and Davies was far more about luck than judgement! Did some of the science stuff on educationcity and Davies was really good at and enjoyed that lots too.

Both children were asleep by 7pm again, tired and worn out although Ady has just rushed into Tarly who has awoken coughing, which is not a Good Thing as we were about to head off to bed ourselves. 🙁
