all the best with the home ed-ing adventure rosendula. i wish we'd done it from the start really, but at least we're doing it now and having a great time

thanks for the link, i'll have a look at that

hi there sortanormalish, many LEA's assume they have the right to visit but as the law stands in england at the moment home educators are not legally obliged to meet with them. we (home educators) do have to persuade them that an education is been given. this can be done via letter with an outline o...

pleased to hear all's going well red. we've always considered our son home educated with school getting the way we hope to carry on as we've always done only more so! this week we've done everything from garden bench restoration to astronomy, it's been great

hi all this has been our first week home educating our boy who is 7 nearly 8 now. we've had a great week, i wish i'd done it from the start. i've managed to find a couple of forums, EO being one of them, not sure what to make of them yet. i've met up with a local group of home educators that meet in...

can't honestly remember how long mine took to show through now. wasn't as long as 3 weeks though, maybe it's been a bit cool for them in the greenhouse??

thanks for the tip about the toms, they've gone a bit leggy too. yeah i'll have another go with the cougettes, bit hit and miss this seed lark

cheers, velocidad

interesting! they were initially put in the airing cupboard until they started to show. then moved onto the the window sill which faces south, some may have been just behind the window sill on the ironing board, but still basically in full sun, and they have all gone equally leggy. so not sure how i...

had a first go at growing from seed this year. not going to well so far :? the courgettes i thought were going ok, but then they just went mad. stems a bit thin and flimsy, and about 6 inches before first two leaves. not at all like the ones i just saw in the shop, which were much thicker at the ste...

had so many things go wrong , so many things to stress over and worry about recently (well for a long time actually). then while eating tea the other night, my little boy looks up ans says " we're a really happy family aren't we!" things have seemed much better since then! :lol: cheers, ve...

i've made something similar to eva's witch hazel concoction with good results. i'm using some pitrock spray at the moment which also seems to work well. not cheep but last a long time. not used the crystal things, but will be giving them a go.

cheers, velocidad.

Avoid the Kosnic GU10 LEDs (2.2W). They're supposedly rated at 50,000 hours but all of ours failed within 12 months. The last one went this morning — with a bang and blowing out the glass front plate. It's the third of six to do that; the other three simply stopped working. had some trouble with ...
