I take an evening off from everything and suddenly I am way behind with everything I am not sure how I am going to cope when the Olympics happens and I basically take three weeks off.
And it has to be the week when I have a shit ton to write about, loads of drafts just waiting, including my where in the world series. Never mind I am sure I will get through it.
It was a good weekend, my stepson came round on Saturday and my partner took both boys out to Bowling. Apparently lots of fun was had, I stayed at home, mainly because I refuse to wear a mask for that long.
Saturday evening, was all about the Eurovision, well for me. My best friend C and my partner hate Eurovision with a passion, so being the selfless person I am. I make my partner watch it with me, while tagging my best mate on facebook all about it.
Sunday, myself and Monkey just played, I am struggling to find ways to get him to learn his times tables, I have tried writing it down for him, using lego and other toys, an abacus. Its just not clicking with him. But we will keep trying,
That was basically my weekend, I need to speed up with things though, because on Friday Monkey is off and then next week is half term, which I forgot about, so I need to come up with stuff we can do.
Most excitingly though, I am going to see my Mum next weekend and going out for lunch.
Did you have a good weekend?
I had a very nice weekend, thank you! xx

One of the ways that I worked with T regarding times tables was using addition as a tool.
2×2=4
2 sets of 2 equals blah blah blah it is what worked for me.
Now he struggles with the higher ones so I get him to tell me what say 5×6=30 so 5×9=? And I say to him now add 5. Now you have ? so on and so forth.
Don’t tell anyone but I use same technique if I am needing to do times lol 🙂
Have a fabulous Tuesday.

Lol I wonder if that is a boy thing? T gets frustrated and we go over it and next time I am explaining it again. I think they are wired differently in understanding somethings which after I typed sounds dumb but I am committed now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL, no I get it, I am not sure its a boy thing, because my sister said she never got multiplications either, whereas I find them really easy
