    I was very much a reader but it is not for everyone, I just can't understand where all the time goes. This evening she was doing her learning log and was being a bit pathetic, lots of crying and I can't do it when I offered myself to answer specific questions but not tell her exactly what to do. Don't know which parent she gets it from...


    hehehehehe...of course she can't do it yet...otherwise she wouldn;t hve to learn it...

    I find the best thing is to get out of the rabbit in the headlights mode and chunk the problem up and work through each piece without really thinking about the overall goal and suddenly you find you are making progress. The other thing is prioritising the must be done3 over the like to do and of course being a consultant there is always the managing customer expectations bit...

    It is being chunked down but it's getting to the end and the only way to resolve the problem is to repeat an experiment which takes 7 days.

    I'm going for disaster management control.

    DD1, 7 wants to start reading ...but with all her activities and homework I'm not sure how much time she has for reading...
    When I was 7 I had no activities or homework. What activities?

    Do all kids have homework at 7 now then?
    First time I encountered homework I was aged 11/12.... and I had nowhere to do it so never bothered. :)

    New place probably has a footprint of 13'x23' in total. Living room is about 13' square and has a kitchen down one wall, bedroom has en-suite and so all of that is probably 10'. HUGE!!

    Homework should be stuff you can do because you have been taught it in class, and you are just doing more of the same kind of stuff with different examples. School is where you learn to do stuff you didn't already know. Well, at that age, anyway.

    Hooray for Pastures's new place. How long can you have it for?

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    My mistake - I somehow thought we were fellow [STRIKE]-luddites[/STRIKE] traditonalists holding out against the spread of the smartphone.

    sigh- I guess it's just me then.

    6 months, with ability to give a month's notice .... and, bookings depending, potential to stay an extra 1-3 weeks at the end of that time.
