howdy helen

honestly, this is the new wordpress and so far dont like all the blue, and the howdy helen nonsense – grumble grumble!

well after the great tax news the beans came back from nursery.

SB got stuck straight in with the wacky wigglers to make something for BB. My friend Liz from work popped by on her way home and stayed for tea – very nice – so SB enticed her into playing don’t wake dad. She also wrote Liz a thankyou letter and gave her a picture. Also made us giggle by her sp-ell -in-g t-al-k, a bit like a dalek on an off day! BB doing her very noisy giggle and just being adorable.

Went to bed with no fuss. We are looking at getting her a few more story cd’s as she is prob a bit bored with hers. There are some young classics greek myths, and also perhaps the barefoot story tree one. I also wondered about the E Nesbit ‘however many children and it’. In my dim recollection it seems to be spanning the faraway tree to the secret 7 gap? Are you the expert here Merry?

Also, Mistakenly, looked at the book people and caved in to buy angelina ballerina set for her birthday. she wanted it every time she saw the catalogue, and books are good value here. And a readers series. oops.

Think we will opt for john lewis pans as they are essentially free as we have vouchers, and after seeds and book people order…

Looking forward to blogbumping tomorrow- i am afraid Katy that decs likely to stay up past twelfth night at this rate.

Oh, and rather annoyingly, I have my first kakuro failure! I finished grid, and last number entered is wrong – ie a 7 for the across or a 6 for the down. So i chased it back, but haven’t found out where to change to get it right. So annoyingly will have to wait for the guardian answer for number 080 to see where I went wrong
