Rooty

I'm a Year 1 teacher and I dislike sending homework to 5/6 year olds. I know I never had it when I was their age and I turned out ok! I have to send it as it's school policy, but I can't make children/parents do it and never make an issue when it doesn't get done. I leave mine very open ended, explain what we've been doing during the week in numeracy and suggest a couple of activities to consolidate that learning at home, and phonics is revision of the sounds taught during the week. I would say get done what you can/what you want and be honest about how you feel at the parents evening.

People like you disgust me. I would love for my cats to stay on my own garden to avoid vile people like yourself. They are not dogs however, and will go where they please - hopefully avoiding people who believe in being cruel to animals like you do!!

Thanks for suggestions, think my other half is going to make a simple one as I think it will be a bit of a squeeze in the commercial ones for 2 cats (even if they do love to snuggle) and we can't afford 2 KatKabins.

We've got 2 kittens (8 months and 6 months) that will soon be going outdoors together, and I want them to have some kind of outdoor shelter for when we're out of the house and they have gone off on their adventures. I wondered if anyone had bought one of these or these? I like the katkabin but it is pricey and I'm not sure if 2 cats will fit in one. Unfortunately cat flaps aren't an option. Any alternative suggestions are appreciated too!

That's fab, really lovely Lisa!

I loved it! Thought it was great! Left the cinema all smiley!

I love Lolita Lempicka, i have never seen it anywhere to buy (except the internet) but was given a free sample when i was in France about 7 years ago and loved it, and when i brought my GHD's online i got some free samples with them and Lolita Lempicka was one, so i got the boyfriend to buy me a big bottle for my birthday. I love it!

I think it is a brilliant album, definitely one of my favourite Foo Fighter albums, probably second after 'Colour and the Shape'. There is not one song on the album i dislike or skip while listening to it. My fave track is probably 'Stranger Things Have Happened' - but i really love their acoustic stuff as well as their heavier stuff. I know a lot of Foo Fighter fans aren't as keen on the acoustic stuff but i love both.

Milo Ventimiglia - Peter Petrelli in Heroes....He is gorgeous! :love:

Pomatomus are my first pair (pair lol, i have half of one ) of 'complicated' socks...i can't remember how hard i found them at first, i think i found them ok. And i got into the chart quite quickly. I found it fairly easy to get back into knitting them as well (or so i thought). They look lovely anyway! I'm sure you'll be fine knitting them!

I saw it awhile ago and loved it, thought it was possibly the best film i'd seen this year. I didn't really know anything about it when i went to see it as my friend picked it and i wasn't expecting it to be my thing at all. I was very impressed though and cried at the end.

Hey, i'm ok thanx! Just not been forum-ing for a while. And i did have a rather long break from knitting - just got back into it again this last month or two. I was trying to finish the Pomatomus socks (yes they're still not finished )- i was putting lots of time in on them then realised I'd bodged somewhere and i was back to where i was 2 weeks before ...never mind. But i am enjoying knitting the blanket second time around!

At the moment i'm baby knitting - a baby blanket (same one as last time in a different colour, for a different person) and some mittens for baby sis at the request of my mother.

The socks are great and i love the afghan, but it would take forever!

My favourite tea! i don't drink 'normal' tea at home, just Earl Grey. I drink it with a bit of milk though.

Well done *Twinkle*! I got my Uni results - i got a 2:1! so i now have a 2:1 BA (Hons.) degree! :D I'm very happy!

I don't know at the moment...but i wouldn't be against the idea!

It's a 'No' from me as I will no longer be in Sheffield!

Agreed! It really annoys me at gigs and festivals, it makes you all sticky and you have to always wonder if its beer or p**s :gag: I don't get it at all, there was some water being thrown around at the Chili's gig at Don Valley last summer which was alright because it was boiling hot! But beer??? It aint cheap at gigs either!

No, forgot all about it and was away for the weekend without knitting. Although to be honest it hasn't been picked up since before my exams :-S

Good for you Turra! I haven't picked up the knitting in quite a while now! i'm still on the heel of Pomatomus, which i was enjoying knitting i just took quite a break from knitting it because of exams. Monkey looks fab! They are definitely on my 'to knit' list!

I'm gonna guess seeing as i didn't see the removed post that that was aimed at me I personally don't care what anyone would think of me for trying to help enforce this law. I agree with whatif wewin on the subject of grasses, and i won't lose any sleep over being thought of as a grass.

Hopefully when people see smokers/places ignoring the new law in July, they will ring that number. I know i will. Should deter places from letting people ignore the new law. If i go to the pub i don't make a non-drinker or ex-alcoholic drink my pint/G&T/etc with me, so when someone has a cigarette i don't see why i have to smoke it with them. July 1st - Can't wait!
