On Thursday we went over to Caths in the morning, and Alex enjoyed himself on her trampoline while I caught up on the NELLI meeting I'd missed. It didn't sound very interesting! We then came home, had lunch and later on the speech therapist came over. She spent an hour playing with Alex, who had a wonderful time, and said he'd come on loads since ( Read more... )

Wednesday, after Ladybirds we had a 2 hour meeting for NELLI. The first half was trying to figure out the map, then another consultancy agency for Joseph Rowntree came to study us! It didn't seem very relevant, but I had to leave pretty soon after they started as Alex did a huge crap and I found I had no spare nappies. Always prepared ( Read more... )

Friday was another stay at home day, due to the appalling weather! We went down to Mums, left Alex there and Simon and I went on a railway meeting. It wasn't very exciting, but as we've been on at the management abut communication for months and it was an open forum, we thought we'd better go. Craig Binns got upset about criticism of the ( Read more... )

We've had a stay at home day to day due to the appalling weather - rain, hail, sunshine, repeat ( Read more... )

Yesterday was quite a nice day. Mum and Dad arrived as we were bringing a trolley full of wood back with Alex riding high on top, so that was him happy. We spent another day gardening, this time digging artichokes and I had a play with Mum's Rotavator. It does a good job but its hell on the shoulders. I spent some of the afternoon cooking for all ( Read more... )

On Thursday we took Alex and Amelia to Wacky Warehouse. He loved it, but it was a little grubby for my taste, and I lost one of my earrings! Still, for £2 I suppose you can't really complain ( Read more... )

On Thursday morning we went and collected what turned out to be a big craft parcel from the post office, and fed the ducks on the way back. Alex will insist on licking every piece of bread before he throws it to the birds! We got back and Alex spent some happy time sticking stickers on everything I'd allow him too. One happy boy! In the afternoon ( Read more... )

We headed off to Levisham at 15:00, so we beat the snow. Stephen arrived at 11:00 and had to walk in from Lockton! David gave up and stayed in Pickering! With Simon walking out to meet Stephen, David calling late to say he wasn't coming and Alex coughing I didn't get to sleep until really late. Then I was up on the loo for an hour, so really not a ( Read more... )

Sunday morning was quiet except for packing, no Ben. We set off for Sheffield after lunch, with a boy who eventually fell asleep in the car. When we got to Simon's parents it turned out there had been a complete failure to communicate about timings, so they all went to the choir concert while I fed Alex and myself and out him to bed, then it was ( Read more... )

Thursday evening went well, there were 6 of us in the end, including a Dane and a Dutchwoman, very international! I may have eaten a little too much pud, even though I tried not too, as I spent 30 minutes on the loo after everyone left. Always fun, still on the plus side while I was in there, Simon did the washing up ( Read more... )
