funny how you get a lot more done when stressed.
i am showered,dressed, presentable,
my children are clean, dressed & fed,
my carpets are cleaned & hoovered, our home is tidy & smells nice, all the washing up is done, looks like i might be making cake after all today.

[ i'll translate the recipe in just a moment, then i'll post it
]

i have never seen one, i read the articles online , but mostly i'm just here in the community.
that's a shame with the advertising.
doesn't seem like mothering, i would have thought.

oh my goodness, that must have been terrible!!
it's actually the reason i am not pregnant yet, i so want another one, but the thought of having to find a new home while 9 months pregnant & then moving, no thank you.
hopefully,in a year, when this contract is up , we will be in a position to buy a little farm, so, then we can focus on family planning.

this is our second, he got his new mac about a year ago,so that's not bad, the cable broke 2 months ago,we replaced it & now it broke again , so that's why we complained, because 2 monthsis just stupid for something that cost ÂŁ60, but they were very sweet, said they'll send someone round to bring us a new cable & collect the old one.

Me too! I so much want another one! Now is definitely not the time though. I am already thinking about finding a bigger place (but I hate the thought of moving, and my landlady is really nice. I see her once in three months for the rent and she is always gone within 10 seconds, yet if I need something she is always available). Once I get on my feet again financially, I am hoping for one more at some stage though. A little farm sounds wonderful! Do you like England? I took a look at your blog. What is that beach you went to? Brighton?

Hello!


I hear this is the spot to make new friends.

herewearetogether- I read your blog. It's lovely. Your children are beautiful. Are you a Waldorf parent? Based on the fairy hunt and toys, I wondered if you might be. Also, are you German, Austrian, or Swiss? Is your spouse? Just curious...I did my study abroad during college in Salzburg, and lived 2 years in northern Germany after school. I would love to have bilingual children, but that's not likely to happen since we're Americans living in the U.S.

How about other folks in this thread? Where is everyone?

i love england, but even if i didn't i'd stay here because of the homeschooling laws

brighton is about 2 hours from here, we go down to our local beach, it's just 5 minutes walk, which is really great for days when the kids are just toooo active

Hi! Welcome! (New blood - great
!)

And yes - where is everyone? Maybe we should ask the mods to put a link to the new thread in the old one?

the first one lasted about 9 months, the second one only 2.
