Not sure about this play doh

More snow on the way

More numbers to be proud of! LOL. Tomorrow will see more snow for us. Made it to work today without any problems. Everyone took the day off I think.

Snow is forecast for this week.

Will see what happens!

Numbers

77777 has been clocked and captured. So that is 11000 miles in 9 months. The Honda has just clocked 22222. Made me laugh that Tracy made the effort to share the moment with me.

A walk round the duck pond

Last weekend, before getting back to the normality of work and school, we went to feed the ducks at Worsborough Mill. After that we all walked around the reservoir. Thomas did well, not much moaning, Eddy was happy to keep splashing in all the puddles!

Happy New Year

Spend NY @ Paul & Karen's. Lovely OP delivered thru the pump! Tracy is still in a lot of pain from her back. She's probably had a few hours sleep if she's lucky. Hopefully it will improve quickly so she can get back to normal.

Chatsworth at Christmas

We spent a really day at Chatsworth yesterday with my Dad and Lynn, the house was lovely as always, Thomas fell over in the mud, Eddy had a burger, a lovely tea at Lynn's and the realisation that Christmas is with us again. (Thomas is SO excited!)

Helpful people

Went a post office in Bradford today, to return the Boba Fett costume, and discovered it was full of really helpful people. A lovely welcome and polite shop. Thank you. I was even offered sellotape to use instead of buying any.

Assignments

Gave my first batch of assignments back today. Generally went well, just one who got bristly. Just have another 3 batches to do now.

So much has happened recently...

<p>That it would be impossible to record it all. Let's take each family member individually. <br>
Youngest first. Eddy has been ill, usually he is fine. Strange rashes which come and go, coughs, funny marks on his toes. He has had a night in hospital which proved nothing but how incompetent Barnsley hospital are. He needs looking at by a specialist so that we can get a proper diagnosis.
Thomas has had horrendous coldsores and impetigo. A week off school because of them and there continue to worry us as they return regularly.
Tracy is finding year 6 hard and the workload is relentless. Our nights are spent apart working. Bedtime is usually only just before midnight he we are luckily. She currently has a very uncomfortable back which is stopping all fun!
I'm ok, work is fine, workload manageable and the students still amusing. Travel has been a night mare recently with 3 hours being my best time!
