More weekends

On weekend of 3 March we went to Oxford to visit friends. Kids all went iceskating which they thought was a complete blast - and fortuitously there is 'iceskating' on at the school this Friday. They come and coat the school hall floor with some substance which simulates ice. Both looking forward to that a lot!! Consequently little M has appropriated J's in line skates, as they are far more impressively like iceskating. Poor J has to line up for a new pair when his parents can afford it (they were getting too small). Big M really wants to try it, but rest of family is ganging up on her saying she will regret falling over a LOT. oh well. J has been sick with tonsilitis again, so quiet day at home today, bit of in line skating for little M and some playing with friends. J has another friend, also J, who came round and they did 'experiments' with all the excess bottles of bits and pieces I am gradually clearing out of the cupboards in anticipation of our move at end of June (where to, who knows we have to wait until closer to the date to get available properties). We are looking forward to hopefully having somewhere the plumbing and electrics might work (could be a faint hope) but not to moving!
