claire, should be able to, they did have cream wool when I went it - not the number I needed, so ive got muffin ( a light brown colour)

Might go mad and start making clothes.....just the cost of a sewing machine will cripple me

Government say so. some thing to do with awareness of different religions and community, you can do citizenship in some schools instead, which is also supposed to make you feel all community minded and fuzzy about the world.

Ahhh I see.

Working perfectly, innit.

Surely accepting other peoples' religions/points of views etc, and being a good citizen is about respect rather than necessarily needing an in depth knowledge? And that's something you learn from birth, from your parents. In theory...

afternoon all.

RE up to GCSE? shudder......remembering my own RE lessons which were literally being told to read great passages about the Bible and what the stories were about. It was dull, lifeless and I learnt nothing.

Thing is though, these days diversity can be seen as really interesting. There are just so many religious festivals, celebration days for so many different religions, maybe it might be quite interesting these days.

Bizarrely, I know that today is World Religion Day.

I'm sad, I know!! (I look after the equality and diversity board at work and stuck a poster up to say so!!)

Is a jumper, not a cardi (didn't much like the cardi patterns) but hopefully it'll be OK.

Wonder if my mum would give me her old sewing machine...

Hey how is everyone today?

:eek: Ryan is having a massive meltdown. He hasn't had one for ages. Sounds like he is destroying the whole of the upstairs, swearing, yelling and roaring.

Have no idea why.

They are both bored because I've been too ill to get them out of the house but boredom alone wouldn't usually trigger an episode like this.

Hope he calms down soon so I can go and investigate the damage.

(That might sound blase, but there's nothing I can do except leave him alone until it passes. Last time I tried to intervene he stabbed me in the throat with a plastic (fortunately) toy .)

Pooky

Hope he comes out of it soon Snaggs x
