Mellow day
Didn't do a huge amount at all. Oops, LEA inspector wouldn't want to read that, would he?
But we just chilled. Read a few stories, did a bit of cutting and sticking. Read the words on our word tree again. Played with the words on the fridge (magnetic poetry kit for kids - fab!). Talked about when to sow seeds in the garden and why we can't do it in winter time. Took Daddy's lunch into town for him, then came home, ate our own lunch and had a little nap.
In between times, I typed up the father-in-law's speech for his golf thingy tomorrow (he's this year's Captain so we all have to be present and correct and presentable at the Golf Club tomorrow for inaugral lunch etc), did some laundry, prepped dinner and spent far too much time on eBay. :::sigh:::
Sum total of today. Well, I guess it is a Saturday.
Yesterday Lesley came round and we talked about having a meeting with Eyebal et al. And also the possibility of setting up a local Doncaster meet, say once a fortnight for local home edders to meet up and talk whilst the kids run around and 'socialise'. Just need to find a venue that isn't too expensive, and is fairly central to Doncaster. And also - we need to find the home edders! According to Mr Eyebal, there are 90+ families that he sees that home educate in and around Doncaster. We need to find these people!
Any one have any suggestions how? We're going to put up posters in all the local libraries as well as the Central library, but apart from that - there's only a dozen in the EO contact list.

add your contact details to websites all over the place. Post on local and national lists. Add a page on Doncaster to the new yorkshire website when it gets up and running. Stick an ad in the eo newsletter - may well be ppl getting that who aren't in the contact list, or ppl who read it who know other ppl.
ask iball to add a note to the pack the lea sends out? LOL.
hey, it's the weekend, everybodys chilled. Did you get your spinning wheel?
