Charity Shops :o)

Oh it has been so long! So long since I was able to trundle around charity shops looking for bargains :o) It used to be a regular occurance for me, to coincide with our HE group visits. Since we stopped going to groups, the charity shop visits stopped too. I made up for it yesterday though, and came home with a nice little stash of books and games. We bought a Junior Pictionary game, but it didn't have instructions. A quick looksie on the internet this morning has rectified that problem. We also bought "Pop to the Shops" which the younger ones are very much enjoying. A couple of bargain books including ones about Ancient Greeks, and Vikings. Oh, and "The Silver Sword" which ties in ever so nicely to our ongoing World War 2 theme.

Before we went out in the morning we did our maths, and then read a couple of books, noted here for own record:

- That Rabbit belongs to Emily Brown by Cressida Cowell (we really liked this one, as we could do lots of silly voices *grin*)

- Little Albatross by Michael Morpurgo

We read another chapter of The Earth Giant too.

I'm glad we had done "work" before our shopping spree, as I was hit by a huge migraine attack when we got home. It was the first migraine since being on the medication to quash them, and was the worst I have had for a long long time, with sickness, visuals, light sensitivity, and banging headache. I don't want another one like that for a long time thankyou! The kids were very good though and just played with the pop to the shops game, and entertained themselves. Chelsea was being a little Florence Nightingale looking after me. Very cute.
