Sunday Day 194 – 12th July
The weather hasn’t been great this past week, so today as there was a bit of sun first thing we decided to head to the park so Bee could get in a bit more roller skating practice. We seem to be followed by squirrels every time we go to the park.
Monday Day 195 – 13th July
Eldest headed off to school for 2 hours in the morning. It was for the tutor to catch up with them and to check they have been doing work at home. Then headed to the shops to get some cards for Bee’s teachers and while in the car Bee said it was the worst year of her life because she couldn’t go anywhere or see her friends. Felt bad for her so let her get some dolls in the shop.
Tuesday Day 196 – 14th July
Headed to Bee’s school in the morning as the kids were asked to go collect their end of year gifts. Bee got to see her class teacher and the deputy head. Thankfully she didn’t get upset….think she is used to it now and is looking forward to her new school in September. In the afternoon she was meant to have a zoom meeting with her class to say goodbye but I stupidly had it in my head that it was Wednesday so we missed it. Thankfully I hadn’t told her about it or there would have been tears. I was so angry at myself though.
Wednesday Day 197 – 15th July
Not a lot happening today – mainly TV today! My sweets that I had ordered for Eid arrived but sadly the glass jars had broken. I was refunded the full amount by the seller even though I offered to still pay for the sweets as we could still eat them. And they will be taking it up with Hermes as even the outer packaging was ripped…so clearly it was manhandled. The state of the parcel was shocking.
Thursday Day 198 – 16th July
The eldest had some vaccinations at her school today – the Year 9 ones. Think it was the measles one and the other one was the booster for tetanus, diphtheria and polio. Then took Bee to get her ears pierced. We had then pierced two years ago but we struggled with one ear and when we took the earring out for PE we couldn’t get it back in and the ears literally closed overnight. But she wanted to have another go. Spent some time at the parents house and then when we came home the pigeon and then the doves were being nosey.
Friday Day 199 – 17th July
Technically this was the final day of school before the school holidays start. Felt a bit sad that the kids school year had ended like this.
A full sunny day so as soon as we woke up we headed to the park for some fresh air. Bee was making friends with the dogs and their owners. Then after roller skating, we headed back to the shop as Bee had managed to convince her dad to give her some money to get two more dolls to complete her collection.
Then a quiet afternoon. I finally finished and published my post about Family Friendly Activities in Isle of Wight.
Saturday Day 200 – 18th July
Karate first thing in the morning and then haircuts. Tried to get Bee to go short again but she prefers long hair, eldest just had a trim and I went drastic and cut my hair up to my shoulders. Felt like such a weight had been lifted off my head.
Bee’s headband arrived that I had ordered for her to wear on Eid with her pink dress.
What fun to be followed at the park by the squirrels. I hope Bee is getting on well with the roller skating.
Those dolls are adorable. I do like the mermaid one.
Ahh! I remember a Flat Stanley book from when I was a child. That is a shame about missing the zoom meeting to say goodbye.
Hermes are useless! The state of some packages I’ve received recently are shocking. They just don’t care but I suppose why would you when they get paid so little. x

She seems to be getting the hang of it bit still pretty wobbly!
Yep hubby started worked for them during the pandemic and the pay is rubbish.
Poor Bee! I can understand how she feels – hopefully she’ll enjoy Eid and the summer holidays. Year 9 vaccinations – I wasn’t aware of those. Something for H to look forward to next year!

Going to try to do a few days out to keep her happy!
Lovely photo of Bee and the dog. So sorry to hear that she is finding this year so hard, but it’s very understandable! It’s good that she was able to catch up with her class teacher before the end of school.

Yes she was pleased to see her teacher!
Nice that Bee was able to go into school and say goodbye. Hope the earrings are ok this time. More time before having to go back to school this year for them to stay in.
This will be the last time I attempt to pierce them! If they close up again then thats it!
Poor Bee, I can understand how she feels. I do hope she’ll enjoy Eid and the summer holidays. Lots of love x
Thank you x
How lovely Bee was able to go to school to say her goodbyes. I remember flat Stanley well, was one of my favourite books as a child. The squirrels stay clear of me when Bob is around.
I don’t think I ever read it as a child!
glad she is enjoying the skates, nice to see her well protected.
The squirrel almost looks menacing.
Shame the glass was broken but how nice you got a full refund.

I did worry that the squirrel might go for us!
Poor Bee, it’s so hard for children not being able to go out places or see friends. I love the dolls – hope they helped cheer her up. What a shame she missed her end-of-term Zoom meet-up but at least she didn’t know she’d missed it. Seeing her end of term gift made me smile – I loved Flat Stanley when I was a child. That’s shocking that your sweets parcel was so damaged. I’ve just had to arrange a refund on one of Thomas’s presents that got damaged in transit – that was with Hermes too. Love Bee’s flower headband, so pretty. #project366
They tried again with the sweet parcel and packed it better…and sent it via Royal Mail. It arrived safely this time.
We did Flat Stanley. It’s a fun idea.
Where is that headband from? I need something like that for the teen for a wedding, and that looks just like what we might need.

It is from a instagram page – https://www.instagram.com/thebowshopuk/
How lovely that they get end of year gifts. I like your squirrel picture, he looks like he is standing tall there, a bit cross and ready to have words with you! I hope you didn’t steal his nuts. That headband is very pretty! x

I did worry he might attack us!
Poor Bee, sorry to hear she was so disheartened about the school year. It has been a difficult time of changes, and such drastic ones too.
Her dolls look very pretty.
I didn’t know the school did vaccinations apart from the flu ones, I thought it was up to parents to arrange them.
And don’t start me on the Hermes, the worst courier ever. Had a bad service from them last week too. Their customer service is useless.
I vaguely remember having some injections in Year 9 as I almost fainted
It is so sad the whole school thing isn’t it? I am sorry she is struggling my eldest is a bit as well. Love the look of the dolls and that she now has the complete collection. Roller booting is a lot of fun. Hope you have a great Summer holidays.

We have just discovered that there are actually more dolls in the collection……..
That headband is going to look fab with her dress. Sorry she missed the zoom call, good job you hadn’t told her
There would have been tears if I had!
Omg squirrel!!!! Aww poor Bee. Cards and End of year gifts? That’s very sweet. My college is opening on September too. Oh that must be frustrating to forget something like that but it ok. it happens and you don’t have to hide it from her. I don’t wear earrings after a long time and my parents have to drill through my ear lobe to find it. Cute dog. I’m slowly starting to get the urge to cut my hair short too
