You are so right Claire.
It's like holding a neighbourhood watch meeting for people to discuss crime - you don't exactly get the burglars attending lol

lol Errol, the only parents that turn up for these things are the ones that you have no problem with!!!!!!!!
Claire ( that has also been a govenor for her sins)

Thank you Rose - does he want some?
Claire I know the feeling - although we have been free of the little blighters at Hattie's school for a while. I actually brought it up at the last governors' meeting to suggest that we introduced an "education" evening (we are not allowed to single out individual children).

Errol I'd rather be Granny to "water nits" than those blighters that live in our hair!
Claire (that works works kids that spread their live stock around)

Errol and Hattie, son Dan read todays diary...and says he is sorry to hear about the triops....good luck with the next lot though!

Rose xx

Hang on a sec - I have just been thinking about what you said Claire. You are suggesting that my grandchildren are prehistoric "water nits" pmsl

Oh that's disappointing - I hope you have better luck next try. Thanks Hattie for your reply earlier.

Sadly not, Claire. I think they may have contracted a disease. But we will try again tomorrow and Hattie will continue to update her blog every day.

Errol has the one "grandchild" of yours survived?

All is not well in the kingdom of triops!

Hattie.......................you are one clever girl :)))

I had never heard of a triop either, well done on teaching me something new today :))

Oh Hattie that's sad after you had looked after them so carefully.

Hi this is Hattie.
They don't lose their shells. They shed them like a snake sheds its skin because they are getting too big for it.
Yes Liz there is a lid in the kit that I bought.
But the family is not getting bigger and bigger it is getting smaller and smaller as you will see if you look at my blog today.

This is really interesting, Hattie, and I have learned something new, even at 60, an oap lol
I thought it was funny when you said you had fed your little creatures your Dad's dinner as when ever I go on line he is eating! We have had jokes about it late at night, cos he always makes me feel hungry when he tells us what he is eating, mostly on Saturday nights late? Then I have to go and get something because he has made me feel I want to eat, and I get fatter and fatter! It is all his fault!

You are doing a great job caring for your little triops and I will keep watching to see what happens. Is there a lid on the tank, only I have a young friend of 7 who might like these for a gift when it is his birthday in March. The trouble is, he has cats!
His Mum took in two black ones that had been dumped and they had 8 kittens between them, seven have homes but they kept one so have three black cats and I wouldn't want to see the cats go fishing.

Keep up the good work, your Mum and Dad have every reason to be proud of you, writing the blog and answering us on here. I bet Dad tells you we are all barmy!

Hattie thanks for your blog it was really interesting finding out about your triops. I have never heard of them before and I wondered whether you could answer my query Why do they lose their shells?? Shells always seem to be protection - what do you think?

Many thanks again

Kaz

Very good indeed.
But i think im soooo going to have nightmares .
Eeeewwwww

Thank you Sue et al - I am very proud of her

I am absolutely amazed that so many people have taken an interest and even more amazed at your very kind messages to Hattie - she has gone to bed with a massive smile on her face and her last words were "daddy can we have a look tomorrow to see if anyone else is interested because they are learning something and it is good"

Hi Hattie
Wow what an interesting blog and like many others I had never heard of Triops before so thank you for teaching an old one something new :0))

Errol thanks for sharing your daughters blog with us..you must be very proud of her :0))

Did I not mention the fact that they are also multi-lingual, Rosalind?
