Zoe met me in the courtyard after school yesterday, bursting with news. “I’m reading green dots now Mum!!!” She’d gone up a level in reading and was practically oozing pride and joy at the prospect. Izzy was already close to tears when she told me she was still reading ‘orange dots’. “Miss B said I […]
Sunday, Bizarre Sunday.
There are moments when I begin to wonder how my life got so bizarre… Cleaning my desk I discover the following; 1 detached Barbie leg 1 half eaten chocolate cup cake Art made from several millipedes squashed between two layers of coloured paper.
