    Hi Froddy, hope you're OK :D

    Does that make sense? not sure it does, but kids sort of know and asking them you will be amazed what they come up with (or not in your case ;))

    Thanks Flower and well done to DS :T

    Yes, it does make sense. But the boy I'm working with has learning difficulties too so doesn't understand and can't express himself so I'm looking for something to help him. I may have to gather information and then try and write something for him over the summer if there's nothing out there already!

    boddyMy DSs want to know why I have never taken them to the Hoppings. Somehow we have managed to miss it every year and now they are old enought o take and pay for themselves. Result!! I am also interested in your resident ghost. We have footsteps along the hall in our house and noone there. It happened last night again and no I wasn't drinking.

    Prayers too for DDs friend.

    Hex The paper mountain is quite an achievement!:T
