No - you get the standard amount of cake!
I get the standard amount of cake or chocolate too, unless I start drinking beer again, in which case the cake or choc ration gets traded in for beer.
My thinking is that I won't do enough damage in the 3 days with treats to undo the benefits of the 2 fasting days.

It's very quiet on the Wol and Bob front.
Do you think Bob has 'improved' the computer??
No, but he managed to change the channel on the TV. He has also learnt how to open a partially shut door.

I did think the Family tree was supposed to be Squidge's homework. It sounds too complex for an eight year old.

In theory yes, but in practice no, he is supposed to write about it and pick out interesting ancestors and everyone has a family tree sat about gathering dust dont they? Bloody School!
See I have to show him the ancestors to pick from
he also has to write about his life (easy) and his value and what he wants to achieve in the future! 
I think they sent the wrong homework home!Found the other Great Grandmother, who I apparently called "Drate Dranny" when I was 2 and she lived up the other end of the street
but I know I shall get no further as it is Scotland and all pay which I am not willing to do!

If you have two or three people from each generation, that would give him a choice of interesting characters. His life and his value? 
Yes, I think they sent the wrong homework home.
You are giving him a lot of encouragement for this homework. What happens to the children whose parents are not interested in helping? Do they get disheartened, and/or discouraged by the complexity of the subject? Then do they give up and get reprimanded for not submitting their homework? Call me old-fashioned, but I would think it is counter-productive to make it too difficult for the majority of children. The brighter/more motivated children could make it as detailed as they like.
I have a family tree somewhere that one of my Aunts researched, but it does not tell me about those people's lives. It could be difficult to find out very much about my Russian great grandfather, except that he travelled round the world extensively.
By the way, do you know what is meant by cousin once removed, twice removed etc?

At this age if there homework is not done then you do get called in and told off by teacher, we also have to go in for lessons to learn how we are supposed to be learning them at home too its a nightmare.

I'm up early. Maybe that should be amended to 'temporarily up'. Cup of tea and then back to bed I think. Being up at 4 o'clock in the morning on a Sunday is not a good thing
