How are things? Have you sorted out a school for your dd? Was thinking of you as am being v virtuous atm & helping out with sports & projects at the school here. Has had the unexpected but v welcome development of the head actually calling me by my name and not dh's - not bad after 4 years.

what age is the seat unit suitable from

can the seat unit be used in reverse as a pushchair or only a lie flat pramette type thing

It's got the proper baby basket so it's for the smallest on. Can't judge the suspension, how much the baby will be rocked about on uneven ground.

die Aufsätze sind in beide Richtungen montierbar

It says here that the units you place in the frame, so either baby basket or seat I presume, can be mounted both ways.

"yes, come back anytime but you may find us drunk by the evening" SSSandy, I'll have you know that I am only concerned about the local economy

LOL yes I know, bolstering up the economy!

I like German wine as well. I don't drink much of anything alcoholic really but I like a white wine now and again.

Must be a pretty area where you live. We have the lakes and forests here which is nice for a big town but I do miss the sea. I think that's why I like Schleswig Holstein. I quite like Hamburg too. Have you been there? Actually I found the people in Hamburg a bit easier to get along with, not so very different to us. I know , I know I must stop posting all these wild generalisations...

I was thinking the English Club would be a piece of cake but now that you've said it was brave, I'm starting to rethink it all! Actually my idea was that if I'm helping them with their English, the bigger dc will know and be nicer to my dc. You see the logic in it?

Def advantages to getting to know more children, children knowing that's dd's mum etc. Also for contact with the other parents and teachers and seeing a bit behind the scenes. Less intimidating and off-putting.
Only disadv imo is that it can be such a thankless task & I'd work v hard making the lessons interesting etc and then be disheartened when the children weren't quicker at picking English up - or worse, the parents would moan. That's just me, tho', I can be a terrible old cynic. Just as likely - also from experience tbh, that the parents can't really judge and are pleased to have a native speaker.

I won't teach them grammar or do "Nachhilfe" as such fink, because I obviously can't support all 60 odd kids in year 5. It would just be a small group of them and it would be unfair to the others really. I'd just do activities in English with them as vocabulary building, speaking practice.

I get asked to tutor almost everyone's dc anyway and this way I can sort of fob people off!

Our school starts English in year 3 and they haven't learnt much by year 5. If I ask them their name, they generally can't answer. Mind you the state bilinguals are the same and they're supposedly being taught in English as well.

sorry i'm back again.

just received this email - could you tell me what it means.

Hallo,

nur wie bei ebay
