Fenland witters: Eggbox frenzy in the damp: treasure hunting for kids
http://fenlandwittering.blogspot.com/2012/08/eggbox-frenzy-in-damp-treasure-hunting.html
When you're 3 buses and a walk from anywhere else. Sunday, 12 August 2012. Eggbox frenzy in the damp: treasure hunting for kids. I can't claim the idea was mine. Eggbox treasure hunts are a well used idea. But I can claim that, for an easy hour sipping tea while the kids rip flower heads off of your garden plants, this is it. The real genius of this is that it kept 9 kids utterly occupied for nigh on 2 hours, and we mums could have a chat. 15 August 2012 at 09:03. 24 October 2012 at 12:33. Eggbox frenzy ...

Fenland witters: Dealing with doctors and nurses and anger in a 5 year old.
http://fenlandwittering.blogspot.com/2012/07/dealing-with-doctors-and-nurses-and.html
When you're 3 buses and a walk from anywhere else. Monday, 2 July 2012. Dealing with doctors and nurses and anger in a 5 year old. Oh, it's like having a mini-teenager in the house. He's 5. Going on 15. I know he's tired from a long school term, and every morning we have the same conversation about how many more weeks before holiday. I know he's had enough of bloody Kipper and Biff (what sort of name is that for a girl anyway? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. I want to Read t...

Fenland witters: April 2012

When you're 3 buses and a walk from anywhere else. Sunday, 22 April 2012. Get the dandelions bubbling. So, if you followed the last installment, you will now have in your posession a big soaking pile of dandelion petals, a bucket, some yeast, yeast nurient, and some oranges. Now add your sugar, 1 kilo per gallon of the final wine amount, (not the amount you have now). It's a lot, I know, but all the sugar turns to alcohol! Saturday, 14 April 2012. And then the dandelions became wine. 6 bags of sugar.

Fenland witters: June 2012

When you're 3 buses and a walk from anywhere else. Friday, 29 June 2012. AS/A2 history, an examiner writes. Then along come a better one, is that? How about that candidate? And they must do this, along with two or three other subjects. Easy Honestly, these A levels, anyone can do them. No, really. In fact, i'd LOVE Mr Gove to do one. I'd mark it for him. But while i'm waiting for Mr Goves' press office to get back to me with the news that he'll agree, here are some tips for the AS/A2 history candidate.

Fenland witters: A month without facebook, and no kids either.
http://fenlandwittering.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-month-without-facebook-and-no-kids.html
When you're 3 buses and a walk from anywhere else. Friday, 26 October 2012. A month without facebook, and no kids either. Furthermore, facebook has denigrated actual contact with real people. I have friends who don't actually even talk to me. They walk past me at the school gate and even I say "Hi! It's much nicer to have a chat. Why am I allowing myself to be sucked in? And, what is most annoying, is how much time it saps. Why not turn the damn thing off a for a bit and see what happens? View my complet...

Fenland witters: December 2011
http://fenlandwittering.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
When you're 3 buses and a walk from anywhere else. Friday, 23 December 2011. Wake me when it's over, but record the good bits for me. Well, the good things thus far about the festive season are these:. The kids and I can stay in pj's till noon and eat our breakfast at 10am. This suits all of us so much more than having to shovel down cereal at 7am and be out of the house by 8 with me shouting "Come ON! Eat the toast on the way! What do you mean? I must stop letting him look at atlases. GO TO BED. YES...

Fenland witters: All the naughty boys get stars, Mum.
http://fenlandwittering.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-naughty-boys-get-stars-mum.html
When you're 3 buses and a walk from anywhere else. Friday, 9 November 2012. All the naughty boys get stars, Mum. And this sets my alarm bells ringing. Contrast to daughter. Daughter needs to be told EXACTLY what to do. Here is a command a teacher might issue to her, that she will ignore. Stella, can you put your things away and come to the mat? Stella hears: "Stella, can you pop over to the mat at some point, maybe, once you've put your stuff away? Jo who can't think of a clever nickname. Born 1972, moth...
