January usually drags by, but this year it seems to have flown by!

For Chinese new year I got out the books I'd had from last year. The children were really interested in them. I also put the chinese bowls and chopsticks in the play kitchen. It didn't seem very imaginative on my part, but the children all enjoyed it.

I hope the panto's gone well, Loocyloo. I know when DD was dancing it took over our lives for weeks at a time, then when competitions etc were over, I kind of missed all the dashing around!

Are any of your schools on strike next week? Will you have extra children? I don't know of any local schools that are closing, although I guess that could change. If they do I might have one extra child, but that'll be all.
