Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you know that I'm still here and we are all OK. Life is incredibly busy with all the usual, plus a burst pipe in our old house which we are renting out, upset tenents, car trouble, new childminding kids (a baby!) and trying to deal with alot of meetings about Giggles and Wiggles.

   Life is good, just crazy! Also, I've been using what little blog time I have had this week over at the UK blog. There has been a major review into home education published this week. My view seems to be very unpopular! (nothing new there then! LOL!) The poor UK blog sits there for months without a single comment. Only the hit counter tells us that anyone comes to read it at all! Then I post a controversial view and bam! I get four comments in 24 hours! Wow! Now if only they could be polite instead of rude!

   You can go here to read what all the ruckus is about. And for those of you stateside I will summarise that they are now recommending that we have to register our intent to home educate and show some plan of what we intend to do with a once annually check to see that we actually do it. For most of you this is what you do anyway, but for the UK who have never had to tell anyone anything - it is evidently a tragedy! My view is different but you can go and read that for yourselves.
