What is everyones view?
I think I may have upset someone on a yahoo home ed group on my view on every child matters and the possible change in home ed regs.
My thinking is that we should be well educated on what may happen and how we get around it so if necessary (heaven forbid) we have to fit the national curriculum excetra into our lives by flexing it to fit us and not the other way round and some one has just bitten my head off telling me its all scarmongering and it wont happen and we are all totally safe, I was only expressing a view what does everyone else think.

Fifteen months on
Well these were my new years resolutions for 2006 did I achieve them.
Me
Hand my notice in erm no one family left owing me £800 still working for the other
Find supply work erm no see above
do three montessori segments a week and graduate by December 2006 still 25 segments left to complete
have some me time each week No
blogg every day No
but spend less unproductive time on internet use the internet to unwind not a good thing
increase my e bay selling erm no
pay off student loan. erm no
Home ED
do at least two external activities a week eg kindermusic and stiener mother and toddler doing one
extend practical life activities yes i have done this plus sensorial and language
spend some time each day in fresh air yes
do some messy activities each week yes
get harry a libary card no
Other than that arrange allotment no
meal plan each week yes
use local meat yes and veg.
I think that is all I can think of
I need to focus on Harry and I now it that whole work life balance again and the feeling that she is not getting enough input as I am too exhusted to it, childminding sensible no may be not, it may work for others but not for me at all.
So help me here those who have a partner that works and home eds full time what do you do if you work, and if you live on one income how do you do it.

Blogger ate it.
Blogger in all its wisdom managed to eat my posts from january, what a pain, but its March now so here we ho.
January
Baby started, Harry decided that a baby is not a good thing as it takes attention away from her, lots of put baby to bed mummy etc etc.
February
One child gave noitice they are moving away so that income down again, I might have to consider supply work again.
March
we have now got back into the montessori swing of things, I have now introduced pouring spooning threading pink tower geometric prsentation tray and the insets for design because harry loves them. she is also learning how to cut up fruit and squeeze juice. We have also reinstated the afternoon nap as she really needs it still after dropping for a month.
We are reading lots of poopy cat and zigby books and the old faborites peepo and the thats not my books.
I really need to spend more time with her as working 40+hours aweek is a killer.
