Televisual Feast Night….

Location cubed is back 🙂 Oh how I &#9829 Phil & Kirsty. Then there is a lull during which time I shall either watch The Apprentice that I missed last week and am currently taping off BBC2 or Dr Who also taped from Saturday and not watched yet. Then from 10pm FOR TWO WHOLE HOURS PEOPLE, it’s the return of Lost! Woo and also hoo!

This morning two more CVs arrived in the post so I’m happy and employed 🙂

I’d been semi – expecting my Granny this morning, given I told her she could come either today or Friday morning and she had mentioned to my Mum she might see me today, but she never appeared. Instead I had a slightly disconcerting episode with Davies but as that has now been resolved I’ll leave that unblogged as I think it was more a milestone ‘first’ testing on his behalf than anything more sinister. We did some general household-y stuff and had lunch, Davies did some drawing and we watched Blues Clues together.

We then popped into Lancing to return some library books and pick up a couple of bits from Woollies then called into one of the charity shops. I’m looking for some grey fabric to try and piece together a King Julien (Madagascar) outfit for Davies for Buzz’ party on Saturday (Tarly is already sorted as a zebra). The children dashed straight in to the toys section and Davies came running back to me, eyes aglow bringing a Gromit back pack, brand new still with tags attached. For the bargain price of £2.29. It was our lucky day there as we also picked up a foam pieces 3d castle building kit for a pound and an imcomplete but excellent starting kit for the future mechano kit for £2 too.

We came home via another charity shop where we found some material which might suffice for the costume but the children were being noisy and unruly so we left and I might pop back for it tomorrow.

Got home in time to tidy up a bit before Mel arrived with Liam and Lily. Scarlett and Lily spent ages dancing to a Boobahs dvd together and Davies and Liam took a while to shake down having not seen each other for a while. Davies always wants to show visitors his current favourite film and loves sitting pointing bits out to them, which I can see might be slightly less than fun for said visitors so I managed to defuse that by sending them all out to play in the garden.

They all ate all their tea followed by jelly with cream and sprinkles made earlier – Tarly ate hers and Lily’s – I think she might love jelly! 🙂

Children are both asleep and Ady is cooking dinner (toad in the hole, dinner watchers!), I’m about to have a bath and then get on with the next bit of my televisual feast.

Tomorrow is the first of the new Home Ed group meetings. So far I have four definites – me, Julie, Lucy and one other, so not proving to be the high demand I’d anticipated for it really. Ho hum. In many ways I will be slightly relieved if it is a resounding failure as at least I won’t continue to cherish the notion that it could work if it is proved that there simply isn’t the interest. Since first deciding to do it Davies has started and loves Badgers so some of the initial reasoning for me in starting a local group has been disipated anyway. I continue with my determination NOT to be drawn into something which becomes an unwelcome duty or millstone so giving ourselves the cut of period of three weeks or bust means it is pretty much out of my hands now. I’ve marketed it, I’ve put the word out and it will either work or it won’t regardless of what energy I put into it. If it works then fab, if it doesn’t then I tried and maybe I’ll try again in a year or so and just keep gaguing the interest whenever the mood takes me, relaunching every time with a new name, a new logo and a new venue 🙂
