Half Term

As my older two children are still getting used to the school routine, we haven't really planned on doing much this week.

Nevertheless, I have all my kiddies at home with me so am going to make the most of it.

They are conscientious kids and want to get their homework done, so I think it would be a good idea to get that done this morning, I have almost washed, dried and ironed (yes, I do ironing now - damn those white shirts) their uniform and PE kit, so will finish that off this morning then I do not have to worry about anything schooly for the rest of the week.

So lie in for them this morning, if James will let them.

I think I will make a start on the garden today, although we have the house up for sale, who knows when it will be sold, so I am going to plant in pots, so when we do move we can take them with us, the soil isn't that good in the ground here anyway (Danny tested it last week, one of his many experiments).

Tomorrow Mike is off, and it will depend on the weather what we do, but as finances are limited this week, I think maybe just an Exeter Day.  Museum, Cinema, and Maccy D's. Museum is free, Cinema is £1.50 per child, so should be able to do that for £15, popcorn from Poundland, and it will have to be children's meals all round from MD's.  In by train as it is cheaper than parking in Exeter, and it is way more fun.

Wednesday - boring morning, dentist for all three, plus a health visitor visit to check James's progress.  Not normally  one for these visits, but he has an appointment with his Epilepsy Specialist on the 8th March, so  need to get a record of his weight, and also his development. 

Think we may have visitors of some kind in the afternoon, you know, those Home Educated families, strange lot that they are :-)

Thursday - Into Exeter again, not for pleasure but for buying clothes for the kids  ugh. 

Friday - Home Day, maybe more visitors, ex- home edders, as in their kids have grown up, so they are not as bad :-)

Weekend - Maybe a day out on Saturday, Rugby Sunday, and as Mikes day off is on Monday next week and the kids have a Non Pupil Day, we may try to meet up with a home ed group, if they will have us!

Hope you all have a good week.
