It's all kicking off...

There is a right who haar going on in the village at the moment. The pre-school were told to vacate the infant school for a week due to there being a mice problem..trouble is while they were out they were told that they couldn't come back. For the last week the pre-school has been held in the village hall and its likely it might have to close after decades. It would seem there is a long running dispute going on. I am not amused - Sam loves it there and I had Toby's name down too. We moved here because of being able to walk to the schools - the nearest is miles away. There's a meeting in the village hall tomorrow - watch this space.

I've started the OU degree course - really good so far. About to submit my first essay - will be interesting to see the response.

On the down side - I'm 40 tomorrow - where has all that time gone??????

Reading an interesting book at the moment called Gentle discipline - its very similar to what we do now but there are some good tips.

where will we go next????


We survived Christmas - in fact it was lovely - the boys thought it was magical. Just the 4 of us then we went up to Anglesey to visit family & friends.
Toby is now in his big boy bed - I managed to get a lovely boat one in a sale on Christmas day online - a real bargain - he loves it.
We have been having major discussions about the move to Anglesey and I think we've finally agreed its not for us. The schools are a major let down and it wouldn't feel like home if we don't own the property. We are now considering going back to Dorset or Cornwall - somewhere nice and remote hopefully. We still have this place to sell so aren't going to look seriously until we have an offer.

Looking forward to the springtime now - getting fed up of all this cold, wet weather.....
