Snails

The Child and I shall be looking after her class snails this weekend.  In theory they are very easy to look after.  They’re African Land Snails, and so require a heat pad as well as green veg and water squirting on their tank.  I say in theory though as I can’t shake the feeling that I’ve bitten off a bit more than I can chew here.  The Child has a bit of a destructive streak you see.  Hmm.  Fingers crossed we manage not to kill the poor things.  At least I’m not grossed out by snails.  But then again if I was, we wouldn’t have put our names down for snail duty.  Trust The Child to be the first in her class to take on snail duty though.  Bless her.  Anyway, I hope we succeed in keeping them alive over the weekend.

The Ex and I have also managed to get The Child’s birthday party more or less organised.  Scary.  And after The Child’s party, I’ve a gangster themed night out.  A fun month ahead for me it seems.  And for once I’m not being entirely sarky.
