That's not entirely fair, my mother did maths worksheets with him a couple of times a week and had a friend come over to try and teach him science. But whenever Brother said he'd had enough it was enough, and now he's learned that he doesn't have to stick to anything and people should just do what he tells them.

I wish Alice would admit it when she's had enough. I have to be mean mummy who stops her doing activity books when she thinks she wants to because she'll insist she wants to do them but I can tell she's had enough because she goes silly.

SS, :eek: is all I can say about your brother - although I suspect you have stronger words. How's Molly feeling?

I have many stronger words, it does make me sad that he's the way he is but part of it is that he was inclined that way and part of it is that he was enabled by my parents.

I want to make sure she has at least one regular activity which she goes to which is "hers" (as opposed to something we do as a family) and with people her own age but I'm happy for what it specifically is to change (within reason) as she gets older according to her preferences. As long as she's happy and able to socialise/interact with a variety of people I'm happy.

That sounds ideal Susan - I knew you'd have thought it all out and come to a sensible conclusion.

Tia I think a microscope sounds like an excellent idea.

I've been C&P my bingo drivel - I fail to see why I shouldn't, since I'm only saying the same thing ten times anyway and everyone else is at it. I got shouted at for saying AWESOME in caps this morning in the chat room - apparently only the room hosts or whatever are allowed to use caps. Still, after my adventures in pushchair loaning while my lovely Stokke is still in for repairs I've got halfway towards my next dooyoo fiver on 600-point pushchair reviews :money:

Because the schools in this area aren't great.

Everyone in my year at school failed maths GCSE :eek:

:eek: That is shocking. It makes me so :mad: that so many schools are failing the pupils so badly. (I worked in a school where they got 100% or close to 100% 5A*-C every year with a national average intake so I know it's possible for most pupils to do that well with a decent school.)

But it's good that people ask as it's better that people ask when I have thought about it than don't when I haven't.

Kian was in his element and everyone at singing time sang happy birthday to him there was 2 little boys (twins) who were running up and down (near the end) with 2 push along toys. he was fascinated by them runnin and started crawling as fast as he could with them. very cute. he's tired now so having a nap

Krystal - we have one of those ball things too. Is yours green and orange? It was a handmedown toy but Caitlin loves it. And tartare sauce and scrambled egg sounds vile _pale_

Yes it's green with an orange base and a little mirror in it... The tartare sauce is repeating on me something chronic... Wish I hadn't bothered trying now!

So what happened with the wedding that didn't happen on board?!

Becles, how did Charlotte get on today?

And how is Molly now Sugar?
