not sure on these, I have Reading A-Z books aplenty and loads of other "baby books" she can read when she's ready. Do I really need these? Actually I've decided, I don't. I can borrow them if I really want them or I can do without. * 1SK: Science Supplies Kit 1 - $8.49
thinking I may need to do a seperate shopping list for this, if I can I may as well amass stuff in a cupboard for this unless there is anything difficult to get hold of

not sure about the core 1 and science IGs, we have strayed pretty far from them this year adn I do feel i would be happier starting at the beginning of the fact books and going through instead of flitting about. It would hack $$$ off the total price without them but I can still get the worksheets for her as a seperate item. but I think I may get the LA one just so I get all the LA questions etc Extra Science 1 Student Activity Sheets $9.75
Think these may be of more use than the IGs as I could just flit through and get what I need from them for lots less money.

okay so she doesn't need all this lot but if I'm putting in an order I may as well!!! Now, do I just get 1 set for her or do I get a set for me too????

So there we have it, it should cost me in excess of $700 all in and I would like to get it down to half of that between missing off what i don't need and getting stuff from Read it again etc. I'm starting from a standpoint of already having cut $170 off the bill, could easily shave off another $50 or more for the stuff the Jury is still out on and another $30 if I don't get the "reading books". I have about 6 months to do it in order to still have time to use my discount on anything I don't get in time.

Cue Mission Impossible music....
