Bear is winning

So we didn't go out yesterday, and today has been less than 100 yards to the martial arts class.  A large part of me doesn't want to go out as not only is it cold but going out will cost money and I do not want to spend any.  Apart from paying for the holiday we have the roof to fix.  If I had been more careful we would have a store to draw on.  At the moment we do not and we will need scaffolding to replace guttering and roof tiles.  Then there is the issue of the floor, and decorating and this and that...

So we could stay in and stay warm and not spend money.  Bear would not object.  His objective for the Easter holiday is to spend all his time on the computer while eating his own bodyweight in sugar.  Yesterday we did manage to have some non screen time while playing 'Chameleon Crunch' (which was rubbish) and junior scrabble followed by 3D snakes and ladders.  We watched some cartoons together and had cuddles and it was lovely.

Today has not been so successful, as I had a bad night, but we have been keeping each other company and I am quite impressed at bear's ability to grasp 'cohesive' as a word in a computer game.  We have just come back from a rigorous (for their age) martial arts workout so at least that is something.

Tomorrow I am determined we are going out.  Bear is determined that we don't, or that if we do that we only go a short way as he doesn't want to leave the street.  At the very worst he doesn't want to go so far as he needs a bus ride.  He loves being at home!  In fact, it is a hard job getting him to Whitby for the fun house and the soft play!  He would rather just chill at home.  Even the thought of going into town to get a bribe hasn't stirred him.  So far we are agreed that we walk to Makro.

Negotiations for Thursday are ongoing.
