Aww that's lovely! I've had Crash snuggling on my knee this evening too, it's lovely.
I’m exhausted. I’ve been putting the Christmas decorations up. I hadn’t realised how much Katie used to do. Still, other than the outside lights, which are Si’s domain, it’s all done :)
Please rest now sweetie x Caitlin does mine apart from ceiling decs as wont let her climb, saying that the rate she is growing she wont need to climb soon lol

She was tall enough last time I was her so I can imagine her is a lot bigger after all that time.

Please be very kind to you. X
Spatial awareness? I do not know of such a concept! As our mains electrics have tripped this morning and we’ve spent easily half hour of ‘is that it? No? Try the next one’....... there is no more physical stuff on my agenda lol. Yes, I’m sore but it’s bearable. So, I’ll do some non physical study ;)
Ouch! and another ouch for the electrics its a pain in the a$$ when that happens hope it is sorted x
I'm glad you're going to be sensible about it....
Did you work out the problem with the electrics?
The water softener leaked onto the socket, apparently. Plumber’s coming out on Thursday but it was easily isolated
Glad it was easy to isolate, what a pita though!

Water softener what luxury oop north we's as hard as nails (giggle)
Our water here is very, very, very hard so a water softener is necessary if we don’t want to replace our washing machine every year ;)
I'm just outside London. Ours is so hard that when she was a baby F was allergic to plain water in her bath...
I remember when living near London that a bubble bath turned to scum within 5 minutes! It ruins WM's!
Yup...
Hey Princess Sparkles, how are you?
I wanted to give you one of these (panda) after i saw that picture. But now I am sending these as well (panda)(panda) just for you being you. Because you are amazing and you are a friend.
I’m fine. Tired, as I was up at 6 this morning (after getting stuck into a book and not getting to bed till 1) fighting to pull my mask off. Although that’s better than the last week or so. I’ve been either taking the mask off or switching the machine off in my sleep.
Oh what rubbish we keep! We’re replacing all the study furniture so going through everything to bin as much as possible. Si’s just found blockbusters vouchers from January 2010! (rofl)
We’ve had a request from the medical team looking after my cousin who’s had bowel and liver cancer. Because they’ve found out that he has a gene mutation called Lynch Syndrome, which greatly increases the risk of cancers such as bowel, womb, ovarian, pancreas etc, (and significantly under the age of 50) we’ve been asked if we would be willing to have genetic testing to find out if we have the mutation. By we, I mean the whole (very large) family. At the moment it’s just information gathering and not compulsory but, if and when they test those of us who do agree, and if the test is positive, it would mean regular and frequent surveillance inc colonoscopies, for everyone over age 25.
I’ve agreed, as well as Katie, but Jess has said no. Which is fine, if Katie and I are negative, Jess would be too. And my brother, whose ex wife lost her brother just a few months after diagnosis at the age of 24, has said no for him and his boys. Again, if Katie, mum and I are negative, it would mean he doesn’t need to worry about it - as he doesn’t want to cause unnecessary stress and heartache for her.
That's a big thing on you and Katie though, how do you feel about it?
We've done the same with sorting the front room. It's amazing what we found!
That it’s a big thing on Katie and I.... but I’ve always been one to want to know, and if it means my nephews don’t have to worry about their mum, it’s worth it.
Doh. I came over ill this afternoon - dizzy to the point of losing vision for a few seconds, thumping head etc. I forgot my lunchtime meds with my second venlafaxine dose ......

Lol, I’m fine - it’s usually Si who gets shoved off by the bed thief ;)
It’s Si’s last day at Hive today....
How's he coping with it being the last day?
He’s emotional. He says it’s the first time he’s left a job he still loves
That's really horrible. Does he know what he's going to?
No, nothings materialised yet
Is he worried about it? Or is he actually worried, just not saying so to you?
He seems really calm. I have asked if he’s just not telling me but he says no. We’ve got about 6 months money so we’ll see
Something better will come up for him, I'm sure.
I am sorry to hear about this Paula - I hope he finds something good soon.
At the moment, yes. I’m not sure how long that will last but we’ll see. It will be nice to have him around, properly, for a little while
It'll be good for both of you...
How are you both today?
Ok. Katie’s coming over in half hour and we’re going to have a family walk with the dogs :) I had my hair cut yesterday so I don’t have lockdown hair anymore lol and it’s MUSICALS NIGHT!!!!!!!! (party)

In 23 years, I have never been apart from my baby at Christmas or her birthday
Thats terrible news (panda)
How are you holding up love? I know it's going to be really tough... It's not the same, but can you face time or something?
We will FaceTime. I’m ok, really sad but it’s what needs to be, particularly if this new variant is as infectious as they think. I’ve arranged for a birthday cake, with party blowers, hats and prosecco to be sent to her so at least she’ll have something celebratory for the day. I was going to really decorate the house for her but hey ho. Dom’s family don’t really do celebrations - his last birthday he was really shocked that we’d gone all out for him...
Aww, that's sad for Dom, but lovely for Katie! You're right it is what needs to happen, doesn't mean you can't be sad about it love.
You could still really decorate the house sweetie as if your facetiming she will see it, its a bit of familiarity for her and you, but I know its sad that you cant see each other xx
Ah, as the Christmas decorations will still be up, I’m not sure more decorations will have the impact over FaceTime that it will irl. Still, Dom’s parents have given her free reign over Christmas decorations there today, so that’s cheered her up
They won't know what's hit them! :)
(rofl) (rofl) (rofl) (rofl)
Sounds a bit alarming this free reign bit! Is she the 'go big or go home' type then?......will we be able to see it from space?!!(rofl)
She’s very tasteful, but loves the sparkles even more than i do (rofl)
Wow, so does that make you Queen Sparkles and her Princess Sparkles?

Zooming wasn’t ideal but better than nothing. I talked to her separately as well. Depending on the weather, now we’re both in tier 4 she may come round to go for a walk tomorrow.
Yesterday was quiet but Jess spent most of the day with us and we played games - I didn’t win once..... my parents got me a cross stitch kit of a photo of Jax and Demi, so I might give that a go tomorrow, or read the book Jess bought me, not sure yet :)
What a lovely gift!

What would we do without zoom and facetime.....and know what you mean about being out of routine. I want to get back to normal now...it's tipping down outside. If it clears I can go for a walk later. Fingers crossed you get to see Kate.
The book is called Hamnet and is Waterstones 2020 book of the year. It’s a fictionalised account of Shakespeare’s family. Pretty good so far.

When I was 5 yo, my infant school teacher refused to accept that I was left handed. She tried to make me write right handed, when I couldn’t she used to make me stand in the corner and told my parents I was stubborn and would never amount to anything. What is almost more shocking is the school wouldn’t do anything about it and the only way mum and dad could help me was by sending me to a private school, which they couldn’t afford, for the next 2 years.....
Stella180
29-12-20, 06:21 PM
That is shocking! Fair play to your parents for getting you away from that evil teacher.
Flipping archaic isn't it? I had that problem with Jay...not left handed but his lovely female teacher in Primary school sensed that he might be dyslexic and mentioned this to the Head who was a prat! He said that dyslexia didn't exist! My mum's next door neighbour happened to teach kids and was trained in reversing dyslexia - apparently after the age of 11 it's hard to reverse as the brain won't allow the change - so mum took him next door and he spent twice a week with her for a few months and all ended up fine. Thank God for modern teaching!
I can't tell you the horrific teachers we've encountered esp since being parents....
How did the study go?

T's teacher last year wouldn't believe he was left-handed, it was only towards the end of the year that she started giving him left-handed handwriting sheets. This years teacher is brilliant, she's left-handed herself and when they stopped doing left-handed handwriting sheets she started hand-writing them herself.

The word they need to practice writing in cursive is on the right side of the sheet instead of the left, it means their hand doesn't cover it as they write. I'll take a photo when he next gets homework.

Back in the 70s we never had anything to help like that - no left handed scissors, fountain pens (yes, I had to write with fountain pens) etc. We just had to muddle through. My nephew is left handed and mum is only now beginning to realise how much I had to adjust

Out of curiosity are there are things you do right handed? A friend of mine is a leftie but plays darts right handed and my ex could only play golf with right handed clubs.
