Just another 30-something mum bucking the system by home-educating the young-uns! (tee hee ;-))
Filled our really expensive new swimming pool (£3 from Superdrug 
) We nipped to Tesco, then kids spent the afternoon playing in the pool & the garden.
Hermionie spent some time watching Peppa Pig, we were all listening to musica and had a BBQ for dinner.
Went Flickr Pro today so family can keep up with the kids.
Went to Staunton with kids - Natalie was delighted to see the hand-reared lambs running free in the Children’s Paddock - we saw some - ‘few hours old’ piglets, ‘couple of days old’ piglets, Antonio the now shaven Alpaca (much to Alex’ disgrace - Antonio is his fav Staunton animal - he didn’t realise how skinny he is under all that fuzzy fur!
Bought a Mimosa plant from Staunton on the way out - always play too much with the one they have in the Glass House - so now we have our own.
Got home and we all watched an old Dr Who ep - Series 1.
Natalie has been Brain Training on the DS.
Alex & I are now into Heroes.
Girls went round S&G’s while Alex & I tackled the mounting paperwork and money stuff. 
Kids had done hama beads, clay play and cooking with S who has a bad back!!! - Watched 50 1st Dates in the evening.
Went to West Quay with G to pick Alex’s thing up. All round S&G’s to help in the garden - put in 4 fence posts, kids played nicely all day in the pool. All had a BBQ - summer at last then?
Took Natalie to the Doctor because her ear has a giant pus filled spot thing on it, close to the piercing (which I fear will close up now we’ve taken the earing out :roll: ) Managed to get some Hedrin on prescription as well for ‘our little problem!’- me thinks the Doctor underestimated the amount we’d need for the 4 of us (2 of whom have thick, long porous hair!) Saw NanL who popped in later to play with the kids. Got a parasol for the kids for £3!!! - excellent shading for the pool.
Mowed the grass. Went to library to sign Natalie up for Big Wild Read - she used 3 of the many books we were returning so she’s half way there already! I bought 27 kids books for £1.35 - I love library book sales. :razz: Saw my Dad working on the library roof. Took kids to inside out park.
Nan & GDad P came down for dinner bringing Natalie back. It’s been strangely quiet without her (nice break from the incesant questions!!) I’m glad she’s back now - so is Hermionie!! I managed to tidy the garden before they came down.
Went to West Quay with Hermionie for a look around.
BBQ at S&G’s with all the usual food, fun & laughter. 
Only without Natalie. 
Natalie is having a sleepover at nan&Gdad P’s for 3 nights!!!! - I will miss her, as will Hermionie - she relies on her sister alot. It’s good for Natalie though - lot’s on one-on-one with Nanny and I’m sure Nanny will spoil her rotten! 
Alex, Hermionie & I went to Harvester for a very cheap late lunch (shhh, don’t tell Natalie we to Harvester while she’s gone!) Nipped to ASDA with Hermonie for a change to Tesco (won’t bother again!), we let Hermionie spend some her pocket money, so she decided on a Peppa Pig roundabout to got with her Peppa collection - tries to steer her round to something ‘cheaper!’, but NO, her mind was made up - Peppa Pig Roundabout it is then!
