Building a new life

[Jaquaia]

Slight issue with T not being allowed to walk round to A's classroom, considering the message they sent to parents said about them being more independent! J is emailing his teacher. Other then that, they seem to have!

Glad they've had a good day!

How are you doing with it love?

[Flo]

Flo, I play the evil stepmother and turn the TV off if they don't move! We already know that homework is given Fridays to be handed in Wednesdays and spellings are Fridays for Fridays, well for A anyway, T will probably be the same. And because of covid they have to wear their PE kit to school so T will be in PE kit all day tomorrow. We do their lunches the night before, usually while we're cooking tea.

You've reminded me that I need to buy a new headset! A stood on my laptop bag and broke mine! Looks like I need to reinstall SPSS too, and whatever software goes with my research project... help!!!

You're so organised you need a b****y medal!! The kids' school seems to be organised too! don't know what SPSS is but I'm sure you'll have it up and running by tea time. Good that J is so hands on with A and T and that you have some help. What a shame about your headset. Try and have a chilled evening.

It's statistics software for analysing data Flo. I hate using it!

The kids school only started telling us procedures over the past week or so. Never heard from T's teacher at all and only heard from A's teacher yesterday!

[Suzi]

Oh! I'm glad our school has been emailing as I don't think there's enough paper for all of the messages we've had. It's got so bad that the head has started several emails with "I'm so sorry for another email, I had hoped not to be having to write to you again this week, but....."

[Jaquaia]

A's teacher has sent some huge messages over the past few days. Though she did message half an hour ago to tell parents about how well they've all settled back in, which I liked.

[Suzi]

That is cool...

How are you doing?

[Jaquaia]

Tired. Kids started school at half 8 so had to be up at 7!

Going to do a bit of painting then finish reading my chapter on surveys as my research method choice needs to be in by midnight... eek!!!

[Suzi]

Are you nearly there with making those decisions?
What are you painting?

[Jaquaia]

I've painted the ceiling in the summerhouse and the door frame and the bricks underneath the render on next doors extension.

I'm thinking text-based as I can still do something about mental health without needing to work with vulnerable people and can fit it within the ethics guidelines.
