Have just sorted through a basket of books and papers which the cat had wee-d on. Took the cat to vet the other day as she has fleas. She had her injections and £63 later we came out again. Did I want her teeth scaled and polished? Not at £123, no! She is not worth that to me dead. In fact, I would give you £123 to take her off my hands. Any offers?

Also, while on my knees in the lounge, sorted through the godly play equipment we have 'borrowed' from the big Vineyard. Seeing as most of it was made by Rob, or by the chap in Sholing with onion breath which I endured to get the stuff made, they aint seeing it again!! My heart breaks that all that work we put into getting the stuff together and making the stories was not being used, so far better that we should have it here in Thornhill and use it rather than it gathering dust for want of passion and understanding. Got plenty of that here, so delighted to sort through a variety of coloured cloths and wooden figures. Not got any decent storage for it, got close earlier this week when Amanda was going to be leaving tomorrow, she said sorry and is redeemed, but we are hoping a flat will come along soon as she needs to move on and take responsibility for messing up her own kitchen from now on. Then we will have a spare room to put godly play stuff in the cupboard of!

School today, I rather overdid it with literacy and in a bid to capitalise on the great work of the morning, and while it fresh in the mind, used the afternoom to carry on with the next bit of the task. Oh lordy lord! What a mistake. Everyone was rocking back and forth, and twitching, and that's just the grown ups! The harvest assembly yesterday was delightful, and they raffled off the produce to raise money, so one of my gourds was a raffle prize for some lucky Hamble family. Tee hee. Hope they know what to do with it. My class are really lovely children, very well behaved on the whole and make a good advert for children in general and teaching in particular.
