louby loo Posted Saturday at 18:14 Share Posted Saturday at 18:14 Hi everyone! ....and welcome back Gezabel 😁 I've been away for my Christmas break with the family. Had to laugh as at one of the activities - toy making- GD made (a kit form) reindeer but they didn't have any brown paint... the 12 year old 'elf' running the activity was amazed that I knew exactly how to make the 'best reindeer brown she had ever seen' I didn't let on why I was so good at it 😂!!! Sunnyday- I would have loved to attended your wreath making workshop, but I'm off to Wales on Thursday... Kent would have been so much closer and i think it would have been fun! I'm watching strictly and really admire Chris and his amazing skills at picking the dancing up, also I have warmed to Pete. I didnt really like him at first but he has impoved so much- whilst the other remaining celebs where already pretty good to start with. Have a good weekend all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gezabel Posted Saturday at 20:01 Share Posted Saturday at 20:01 So lovely to sit and have a little catch up and see what you are all up to. Sadly, i can't join in with Strictly thoughts as i am not a watcher! Confess to being a bit of an I'm a celebrity fan!. Love the old knitting book fro 7d - i have some of my Mums old patterns somewhere and they bring back so many memories. Especially a pattern for a white cardigan with detailed flowers up each front. I vividly remember her knitting if when i was about 6 - we were due to go to a circus (now that's a whole new discussion with tigers in cages etc) and i was desperate for her to finish it in time. Funny how things bring back such random, vivid memories. My beautiful longed for grandson who arrived after are the third round of IVF (following 2 rounds ending in miscarriage) is a delightful 8 month old who is busy living life to the full, not so keen on the teething lark but his new found freedom of crawling has thrilled him. He literally started yesterday and overnight the speed has upped several gears!! Oh i wonder does anyone know when teachers begin to correct children's spelling? My granddaughter has just gone into Year 1 and writing and Maths are her absolute favourite maybe with the edge of favouritism going to the writing. She loves is to spell words herself which she does phonetically. The latest word sounded out with such concentration is SCWIROL. Her explanation for spelling squirrel was it starts with SC so that's and S and a C - oh! it;s got a W in it so it must be SCW and then its i so SCWI and then it's ROL so squirrel must be spelt SCWIROL!!! The pride on her face was indescribable! Hope you all keep safe and warm 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted Monday at 14:08 Share Posted Monday at 14:08 I’d have thought definitely by year 1 it could be written correctly at the bottom of the writing along with a ‘well done for trying’ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
