Encore Public Service Announcement
Lots of new books arrived yesterday/today The Guides of the Chalet School by Jane Berry (GGBP) The Chalet Girls' Cook Book by EBD (GGBP) Pirouette by Susan Scarlett (Noel Streatfeild) (Greyladies) Two major decisions needed:- 1) What do I read first 2) How/where do I shelve the cook book seeing as it's landscape rather than portrait shaped. |

Updating by Numbers again
1) We've been home for over two weeks now (blushes). Holiday was fantastic, amazing but it's lovely to be back home. I will try to load up some photos if someone could give me idiot proof instructions. 2) Have signed up for the Gather. It seems to be coming round very quickly. 3) I currently have no kitchen. Builders gutted it this morning. Plasterer is currently filling in gaps and doing the new ceiling. Hopefully it should all be done by the middle of next week 4) Am currently in the process of setting up a e-shop for website. Idea is that buyers will be able to buy and pay at same time (via Paypal). To start with will only be new books. Am currently scanning in book covers. Any suggestions most welcome. I'm sure that there is a lot more I wanted to post but builders need to turn power off ... |

Snow!!
Yes, you did read that correctly! We rarely get snow here in Reading but we woke up this morning to find a light dusting of snow. I don't ever remember having snow this early before |

CBB?? Is it just me or is the CBB down? This morning I keep getting error messages with 'forbidden' in big letters! I've lost my bookmark to LJ page for this - please could someone remind me of it.
Many thanks.

Friday's List Hurrah and Huzzah. Have sorted out LJ cuts
At Nicola's reward assembly this morning, the Head announced who the new Deputy Head is (they've been interviewing for the last two days). It's Mr M who is Helen's teacher. Although I'm delighted for him I can see that the rest of the school year will be 'interesting'. I'm not sure whether he will be able to keep them as his class as for the last 18 months the current DH has not had her own class. As well as the DHing she does a lot of the PPA cover for the juniors.

Ouch! I just managed to trip over the small step when going out of the 'office' just now. I landed omy my right knee (which is the one I damaged in NZ almost three years ago) and caught my left hip on the stairs. Ouch! I sat with a bag of frozen peas on my knee for 15mins which has helped but ouch! I've taken some ibufropen which will hopefully help.
Luckily I have got the car all week as I don't think I'd manage to walk to school and back this afternoon. |

Thank You!!
Thank you all so much. Review went very well. In the end the only people present were myself and Dominic, the headteacher, Helen's class teacher, her LSA and the school SENCo. The original list of those invited was a lot longer. We're very hopeful that she will maintain the same level of support. We're also trying to see if we can sort out the most difficult times for Helen - lunchtimes. The head is going to try to get her some extra hours but we were all trying to come up with some possible strategies to help Helen. Overall, though they (and we) are really pleased with the progress she is making. Her teacher taught her in reception and is thrilled with the impovement Helen has made. Once again, thank you all so much. Your support and encouragement means so much Caroline xx |

Prayers / Positive Thoughts Please
Any prayers and positive thoughts would be very much appreciated for us this afternoon. We have Helen's annual review for her statement. As she only officially received her statement a year ago this will be the first annual review. Having talked to her class teacher, LSA and the SENCo before half-term, it doesn't sound like there is any thought of reducing the hours she has help for (currently 17 per week), although a year ago they were wanting to reduce it to 15 and then the next term to 11. I've managed to put it to the back of my mind for half term but now today they've gone back to school (we also had two inset days) I'm getting more and more stressed. Thank you Caroline |

Weight Watchers
Managed to stay the same this week. Bearing in mind I was at the Gather for the best part of three days I was very relieved!! From Monday to Friday lunchtime I had been good, trying to save a few points and doing lots of walking. Will need to be a bit more careful as I'm sure it will catch me up. I've also got one less point to play with as I'm now under 14 stone. |

And some more!
Another pound gone. Alas, I suspect it may go up next week after the Gather but it will have been worth it. Was very good when making Chocolate Crunch just now - did not eat any scrapings!! This was the wheat/gluten/egg/dairy free one. Once the chocolate has finished setting can cut it up and then use the tin to make the 'normal' one. Nicola and Helen enjoyed helping make it - biscuit bashing is great fun |

Another Half Pound gone
Lost another half pound this week so just one more half pound to go and I'll be back where I was before holiday. Girls are getting fed up cos I keep making them walk to PO to post parcels but at least we're getting a bit of exercise and practice for 5 September |
