And it got more expensive….

Pah! My rucksak got stolen from the kiddies playground while we were there this afternoon, sadly it contained the digital camera (and the usual kiddie related stuff) Turning it from a annoyance to an ******** ANNOYANCE

We’d been to the last of the ‘African Drama’ sessionsm which had been extremely noisy – lots of loud drumming, and SB had enjoyed herself muchly. Afterwards we headed back to the car. We have previously gone to the nearby park afterwards with others. Everyone else was going elsewhere afterwards, but SB wanted to go anyway, and whilst I probably wouldn’t have otherwise, seeing as the car was parked right by it I said we’d have short play.

BB had been grumpy all afternoon, and was continuing to make a fuss about the swings. So I went in put the bag down our of the way and put her in the swing. At some point some scrote must have come in – I suspect over the fence and nicked it. Ar**, I would normally take the camera out – both for security and for piccie taking, but we were in there less than 15 minutes, and I didn’t.
annoyed with myself and the theiving whatsit. Grrrrrr.

And we can’t take photos….!!!!!!

Other than that – a reasonable morning, Helen’s car playing silly buggers again re starting, at least this time it wasn’t blocking in the Mondeo – I’m hoping it’s just a knackered battery.

SB Hama-ed first off, BB being cute (to me)/annoying (to SB) insisted she wanted to do some, wandering around going ‘Hama,Hama, Hama’! Of course she wants to do midi beads like her sister – she even manged to put a few in place, but then SB was hiding some of the beads fron her and they ended up all over the floor …:-( Anyway, she finsihed yet another multicolour princess (photo – oh, sorry …).

Rest of the mornign involved breakfast – some upstairs playing of some sort, some more maths (MPH1B)and Explode the Code. The maths is a bit easy maybe for her – Addition and subtraction up to 40 – getting into Tens and Units, but before when we jumped about more we got a bit lost really. She seems to like doing it anyway, so we are just carrying on with it for now. anyway, she is bit dense at time re number bonds, so it’s practise for that. She mostly remembered about vowels and consonants when doing ETC. It also mentioned syllables. I don’t remember covering this with her, and she didn’t know what it was, so we spent a bit of time talking about that and spotting syllables in words.

Then it was hurry hurry for lunch so as to get out in time. (Lunch was crumpet pizzas – basically crumpets with a bit of tom sauce, cheese, + whatever on top and grilled – went down well)

After the debacle of the bag etc. we went and got a new battery for the car, went to Tesco as the bag contained all the drinks/snacks and SB was hungry/thirsty. Probably should have got her something cheaper than a pre packed fruit salad. But after she chose this in preference to some sort of cake thing that was also on display I felt a bit churlish. and both her and BB munched away happily on the way home. Back just in time for Ballet class. We cheered oursleves up with chippy chips for dinner.

SB called it the ‘Chippery’ the other day, which we thought rather good
