The sun’s here again!!! 
Alex did a car boot sale (so don’t envy him having to get up early!!!)
Girls spent morning watching The Slammer and some other CBBC stuff (which is the current trend at the moment - usually they watch ROAR, SMart, Blue Peter and the Slammer if they’re on 
)
They spent the afternoon in the pool/sand garden with lots of thirst-quenching ice-poles.
Natalie read lot’s of books last night and is more than ready to finish off her Big Wild Read at the library.
Alex & I nipped out leaving GDadF babysitting for an hour to pick up Hermionie’s new bed - a bargain! (from eBay!) and set it up in Natalie’s room - both kiddies in one room - sleepless nights ahead then! It’s just temporary until we figure something out - like whether we might be able to keep the house and whether it’s worth doing anything here.
I spent ages cleaning Natalie’s room before the additional bed move-in - Hermionie really did a number on that room, Polly Pocket mixed with Bratz mixed with Barbie mixed with Baby Bits mixed with clothes mixed with books - ugh! - all sorted now though one of those jobs that’s been bugging me for a couple of weeks now - everytime I’ve had to enter that pit - it’s been brief - if something needed putting in there - sod doing it carefully - just throw it in!!!!!!
Natalie also has a strange habit of stuffing all sorts of items down the sides of her mattress - books, dirty pyjamas (which she really doesn’t need ‘cos she always ends up taking them off and sleeping in just her pants! (OT Hermionie now says pantsees for pants - v. cute!)) - also toys, a sonic screwdriver, bouncy balls, hair clips and ties, and so on…..
Anyhoo, finished it all and Hermionie was very pleased with it - have had to put a big blue bean bag between the 2 bed, in-case Hermionie forgets where she is in the middle of the night and ends p on the floor - won’t last long though - it’s a pain in the bum trying to clamber on a bean-bag to get to the beds!! She went to sleep almost right away - only problem is I can’t kiss her goodnight - I’ll have to get a stool so I’m tall enough to reach over and kiss her.
Natalie & I have had the Hedrin treatment due to this:
agggggggh!!!!! - thought home-education would mean a big goodbye to little bu**ers - but no - Natalie’s and my hair seem to be the perfect breeding ground. Doctor only gave us a 150ml bottle though - so I suspect I’ll be phoning later to get another bottle to finish the second application - need to order some soapnuts - apparently headlice don’t like it - we use tea-tree (with lavender) to spray our hair before detangling but I don’t think it has deterred them so far!
Alex & I watched more Heroes and now he’s tired bless ‘im and here I’m sat blogging and getting far too carried away with reading Apple-related rss feeds like appleinsider, macgadget, macnn etc, all those home-ed blogs and some flickr-ing.
Nite all.
