Malbridge House

Saturday started really well, we recieved our LEA report through the post and they were excellent, no negative remarks, no recomendations, I was chuffed, I cried when I read Clarks, his was brilliant.  The man that came out to us had written about the children and how they’d presented themselves at the end of each childs report and he was really nice about them. Why should I be so surprised? My children are lovely !!

We went to our local park fete in the afternoon. Being the highly organised,educated home educaters that we are we forgot to take the camera and the flats! The police helicopter was there, neighbourhood police and fire brigade, always a chance to pull my stomach in and put my chest out as we walk by them!! We were there a couple of hours and had a lovely time.

In the evening I went to a neighbours house for an Ann Summers party, what a laugh, I was one of the oldest there, I’m up for a laugh and joined in the games. Then the lady went through the catalogue and showed us some scraps of lace! Most of them had big holes in, no idea why!

Then we came onto, well shall I say the items that need batteries!! Now I think I’m quite broadminded but WOW. The lady next to me seems to have everyone in her bedside table and every time one was passed round the room she told me how good/bad they were and gave me a score out of 10. I couldn’t stop laughing! It would seem that I’ve still got a lot to learn, well they say life begins at 40!

Today we got up latish, did some housework and then went to a bar-b-que that at 9-30 this morning I really didn’t think was going to happen as it was absolutely pouring down. Again we had a lovely time, lots of scrummy food, even more alcohol, about 60 people there including my sister, her partner and my little nephew.  I sat feeding and cuddling a 5 week old baby girl for about 2 hours. The children played nicely with the other children, the older ones went upstairs to watch DVD’s.

Now we’re onto baths and bedtimes, Malcs sandwiches for tomorrow, back down to earth with a bump!
