Sometimes, people do things that make you totally disgusted at the world we live in. No, I’m not talking about voting in Donald Trump, I’m talking about something a touch more local than that. A little while ago, Georgie’s primary school posted a notice on their Facebook and Twitter feeds informing parents that their new …
This term, Georgie is going to two different after school clubs each week. Each one lasts until 4:30 which gives me an extra hour and a half to chill out with my youngest rascal, and Georgie gets to have fun with her friends and learn new skills. I think they are great. Georgie loves them! …
Last week I submitted Lydia’s Reception place application, for the September 2017 intake. I can’t quite believe it has come around so fast!

It has been a busy week this week, starting a new routine with the girls both starting at their new school and preschool.

The order came in two parts with the clothes nicely packaged in tissue paper where needed, all in a large bag.
The book bag and drinking bottles came in a separate box, again with protective packaging where needed.
It still seems a bit crazy that Georgie will be starting primary school in September. We need to buy uniform, bags, name labels/stamps, and I mustn’t forget her PE kit and some new black shoes. I wish the school had given us a list of everything we need to send her in with on the …
