Should have known better!

I was really fired up with enthusiasm to start this blog! Don't seem to have written anything more meaningful than shopping lists/holiday postcards/Ofsted questionnaires for ages. Even ear-marked this afternoon to compose lyrical descriptions of my family...... ha! then real life intruded.....
Steve, my husband, announced that he couldn't take the children out after all because his best friend Matt needed him and his Saab estate to clear garden rubbish.... What about all the rubbish in our garden. They don't call it leafy Surrey for nothing! Then my oldest daughter, Natasha, said she had been promised a driving lesson by her father and that if he wasn't available then (and I quote) "I would do!"

Richard who is 15 immediately ganged up with his brother Jack, who is 10, and demanded an equal amount of football coaching time. Then Emily who is only 5 but makes up for her lack of seniority by screaming the loudest told me, "Miss Harvey says you must hear me read NOW!" Teachers!! I ask you! So, that's it for now....
