disaster................
FUN...did I say FUN.....
We arrived and set up which took ages as we weren't sure how we were going to do the seats to sleep...Wayne wanted to sleep downstairs so we decided to store all the gear upstairs to create more room downstairs...then he changed his mind and was crying as I said it was too late...
The rain was lashing down and the wind howling but the roof was ok x
Wayne went to sleep and we sat chatting and about 11pm thought we'd crash...that's when the real fun began.....
Wayne was sick...everywhere...we found a bowl for him and had to chuck the sleeping bag outside..and his pjs...got him changed and we all settled down again...hoping that was the end of it....noooooo...he continued to be sick regularly all night...I had to keep running to the toilets to wash the bowl out and throw clothes out of the van..and blankets...and it was still pissing it down...then at 5am he had the runs in his sleep...omg....it was horrendous.....got him cleaned up and we all crashed til 10am...shattered and smelly.
When we got up we cleaned what we could and had some brekkie, Wayne was sleeping and we thought we'd hold out to see how he was...well kids do bounce back quickly...I had a shower and we chatted to other bongo owners....then Wayne wanted to go for a walk and had a half hour burst of being ok.....then he crashed out again...by this time I'd seen the real state of the van so we decided to head home. The thought of sleeping in the van again smelling like that...urghhh...plus Wayne was in no fit state.....
Came home and washed the van and been washing ever since...sleeping bags...blankets...clothes...
Last night I felt ropey and yep I was sick....had a bad night but feel much better today
So a bit of a disaster of a weekend..and Wayne announced he didn't want to go in the bongo ever again...he thinks it was the bongo that made him sick.....sigh
But not to be defeated I am looking at going to haven next weekend...if we're ok!! and hopefully we can have more success....well it couldn't be any worse lol

washing bags and bags under eyes!
Today was sunny so I washed the other 2 bags in the bath! Must be mad lol
Had a good day and went to pili palas, shel joined us with her new hairdo...she looks fab...makes me want to cut mine...but then I remember how when I ever cut it I just regret and want to grow it again...could do with a trim though..been a few years lol
Tonight I have been trying to think what we need for our first bongo trip on Friday and I have not a clue...by the look of the forecast wellies, waterproofs and tissues for our snotty noses!! At least we have a fan heater to keep us warm! And Ron says there's a chippy down the road...IF it's open...
Had a reply about a variation from cssiw and questions about home ed again..sigh..it has nothing to do with my work...and it is nothing to do with them how I home ed...although I do understand where they're coming from in one way as like most they think I should have Wayne sat at a desk from 9 til 3...no the words 'autonomous' makes me realise though I perhaps need to record more...but why should I???? arghhh
I'm even thinking of not sending a council letter I've done complaining about lack of funding for ncma on anglesey....think kepping a low profile may be better..there's enough busy bodies in my life
Anyway enough about that.......
I am shattered was up half the night with Wayne not well...he's a lot better today...as they are...hoping we don't have a repeat tonight as I feel like I could fall asleep on the spot...and I want to sleep allll night...bless him though xx can't be helped....

amazing 2 blogs in 2 days lol
Today was a funny one...some went early...had some extra...and lots slept....
Ron is home with manflu...sigh...you know the one I've had for 3 weeks and still worked and cooked and...oh no...sorry i've just had a cold lol
I left Wayne with Ron while I ferried kids and went to the bank.
This morning I washed my sleeping bag in the bath...ready for the weekend...as it was a bit musty after being in the garage...what a good idea...washing it on a wet day...I hung it on the line and it threw it down all day and by tea time it was on the floor...sigh...so it's now on a radiator with a mop at hand to keep mopping up the water...I don't half make work for myself lol No matter though...hopefully it will be dry for Friday...like the weathers not going to be according to the forecast! And the way we're all sniffling....sigh sigh sigh..Wayne seems to have gone worse again tonight...
We read a postman pat book at bedtime...Waynes been watching the new one on bbc2...oh they know what they're doing...lol....new helicopter, bike, train and van!!! and pat's got sat nav and a mobile...whatever is the world coming too...and all just before chrimbo...hmmmm
Anyway it was an alphabet book and I was amazed how many letters Wayne knew...I never really test him we just learn whatever he wants...and it's times like tonight when you go wow xx He still puts his numbers back to front though...like if it's 12...he'll say 21....
We always have a cuddle after stories and a chat and we were talking about being off half term...I asked Wayne what he wants to do with the 3 days we have...the other days are accounted for.. bimbamboozle at penrhyn and haven...and his reply was
move his postman pat poster
find his lost spiderman figure
watch postman pat
I said don't you want to go anywhere? and he said
Yes we need to go out and collect rubbish and bring it back to make something (he has a bag he puts any shiny choccie wrappers in he's saving to make something)
So he's easy pleased then...

I'm getting crap at this.....
Cor I really am getting crap at this lol
In the last few days we've played...had fun....oh it's too long to remember!
The weekend we had another birthday party. I've been to the hall. I've cleaned the house from top to bottom. I've worked lots....and was gutted at my 'not first weekend off'
I am sat with hair dye on my head...henna ...so it looks and feels like cowpats on my head...what a nice picture I'm painting lol
Got our first bongo bash next weekend...hope to god it's not torrential rain and wind...lol.....with my luck huh...no matter we shall go and have fun....got to be back for work on sunday at 10am..should be fun!
While I'm typing Wayne is sat here watching art attack and telling me how the activities would be good for the kids to learn stuff x think that may be a hint, we tend to do less crafty stuff in the summer and loads in the winter....
I've been doing a file for Wayne..I keep a running one of his work but had 3 folders from 2005/06 which needed organising and putting into plastic pockets...Wayne had forgotten he'd done them...nice looking through them xx
Wayne was getting stick the other day from a kid about not going to school and he proudly announced he was learning at home and learns about life and stuff ...bless x so true though...and he's still happy at home and learning ..without realsing...he thinks he just has fun...well he does...but...well I know what I mean!! Someone has to lol
