    Default Good morning Tuesday

    It’s my busy day today with 4 children here. It works well as I have two (just turned) 2 year olds and 2 (almost) 4 years olds. It means I can set up separate activities, or adapt an activity, for each age group and they’ve each got a little buddy to play with. I do like having 4 children here. I find it easier than 3, especially if they’re different ages. I know it doesn’t suit every, but I’d like the option to have 4 a day, every day, not just for continuity of care.

    Yesterday I’d got out some Thomas the Tank Engine trains for one of the 2 year olds. One of the toys is battery operated but didn’t work, I assumed because the batteries had run out. Then last night, as I was going to bed, I turned the light off and this Thomas train suddenly burst into life, playing the theme tune and talking! It nearly gave me a heart attack!! The little boy will be happy today that’s it’s working, but I wasn’t at all happy with it last night

    Does anyone watch Holby? I keep missing the start of it because it’s on earlier now, but that’s my Tuesday night viewing. There really doesn’t seem to be much else on at the moment.

    Enjoy your day, everyone. I’m sure I put in a request for sunshine, but it’s wet and miserable here!

    Morning Mouse!

    I too requested sunshine and got rain !!!! JOY! I am a bit bored of playing inside! In normal times we'd just head out to the woods regardless, but my 'walkable to' woods are currently full of dog poo and I'm not driving to any others!

    Today is my quietest day! I take 1 to school, have 2 little ones here, then collect 3 from school! The 2 little ones generally play well together too.

    I like having 4 too! I find it a much easier dynamic to work with, even if they are all different ages. I quite often find myself with 4 little ones - either with siblings or people needing to move their days around/add days over time.

    stay warm and dry everyone

    Wet and grey here too. I have 3 today who are happily making their own little den.

    Mouse Holby is the only program I watch at the moment, I normally end up watching it on I player a little bit later as Tuesday evening is when we have our food delivery and more often than not they turns up just as Holby starts !


    loocyloo as a dog lover and dog owner I am embarrassed about the amount of dog poo being left everywhere, its the same in our area. DH has actually told a couple to pick up their dog's poo as they had walked away leaving the mess behind.


    Have a good day everyone.

    Oooo, it's turned into a lovely sunny day ( if rather blowy! )

    And .... most excitingly ... some men with a little digger are digging up the road .... right OUTSIDE my house ... we've been watching and chatting to them most of the day! Lots of digger play here.

    It was lovely here this afternoon. The sun came out after lunch and we had a fab time in the garden. I sent some tired and dirty children home

    Tired and dirty is a good way for children to go home you know they have had a good time.
