We have blitzed the front room, removed the Guinea Pigs and transported them into a nice new hutch outside, built by Dad and J from scrap wood and chicken wire. We thought they were attracting flies inside, and managed to slay in excess of 1000 houseflies using fly paper and an electric swatter from poundland.
Today we put up E's climbing frame in the newly arranged front room (on account of the garden being either slabs (too painful if he falls off) or - at the moment - jungle.
As a holiday project Dad is building a simple CMS system suitable for a school Intranet (inspired by Fronter but aiming to be simpler to use).
