January......

Lots of things have happened since the New Year

But I don't seem to have pictures of any of them!

After much panic and dithering I submitted my first Open University coursework 

- I got 78% which reassured me greatly.

Ben  started at Aquila Explorer's -

and so far is loving it,

He's also had a couple of days programming robots on a school project 

{2 days at a high school in Bootle - no uniform and no PE lessons - Ben declared it 'relaxing'}

Megs got her mock results {v good} and has hopefully finished her EPQ essay.

She's still not told UCAS which offer she's going to take up

{York, Warwick, Birmingham or Sheffield}

though Sheffield is still leading the running.

Her A Level Theatre practical exam is coming up soon.

Other than that - it's been cold dark and usually raining.

Al's buried  with work.

I'm buried with work and OU studies - 

oh and another 9 barely 3 year olds have joined Nursery

Fair to say January is NOT my favourite month!
