Panders Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Well Cait we had a parent who was one of the pj gang - she would drop off and pick up in pjs. Don't see the youngsters out in pjs so much these days but at one time they used to wear them shopping in Tescos here. You do as you please!

louby loo Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 husband stolen my car for the next month....can't cope i haven't been without a car since i was 17!!! Sooooo with you on that one! We just sold our car, we usually trade in - however my daft husband said "let's do it privately... we'll have much better options blah, blah.... blah". He put an add up for six weeks- the car was sold and money in our account less than six hous later- and I have no car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 So at what point in the day do I officially have to get dressed? Not used to all this 'holiday' stuff. Have to say that I'm really not looking forward to putting anything more restricting on than this comfortable three sizes too big cotton nightie! I wish I'd kept all those kaftans that were all the rage back in the day! I usually reckon on putting proper clothes on before I eat lunch. I was talking with my HT the other day about wearing pjs in Tesco and that my pjs were actually more decent than many of the things I see people in in Tescos. Then I got all embarrassed because I realised I was talking to my HT about my pyjamas! He has actually seen them but wearing them to school for Children in Need isn't quite the same thing! I have just realised that I have no shorts at all and couldn't find any when I went out to get an emergency pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I have "treated" myself to a bike - not having cycled for nigh on 30 years so today I have cycled (pushed bike up hills) to the beach where I have lounged, swum, played frisbee, read trashy novel and generally lazed around. Unfortunately having cycled there I then had to cycle back - much more pushing of bike on the return journey. Did you drink 'lashings and lashings of Ginger Beer' - ooops sorry came over all Enid Blyton there :blink: no seriously all sounds wonderful, just take the bike nonsense out of the equation and that would be heaven! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah see now.....if you would like unwelcome unexpected visitors then don't get dressed until at least 11am.........if you would like a day to yourself - then be up and dressed and hard at work by 8am - that theory always works for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Could I also add..... Do not go outside your door in your pjs ( at around 10.30 ish) to help random 'lost' people...... Your front door will slam shut, and you will have to ask your neighbour for spare key whilst wearing said pjs! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! I was feeling a little smug as I have done 21 of the 62 things I had on my list that must be done by the end of the holiday. Then I realised that most of the things I had done were jobs like 'book car in for MOT' and I haven't done any of the bigger school jobs. am currently trying (and failing) to write a child friendly behaviour document... Hence being on here. Plus my feet have frozen so I can't concentrate at all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperrabbit Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Today must be 'the day' as I've also started with a little more enthusiasm than I have so far this holiday I'm seeing today as half way through the holidays and in true style I'm certainly NOT half way through my to-do list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Sorry Panders - couldn't help but smile at the thought of your unexpected surgery. It seems like every time I get something finished another task gets added to the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueJ Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Well yesterday was "nighty" day - a fetching little number in spots just in case you were wondering. Smug Alert - I was such a goody two shoes and managed to get through several jobs - updated the ops plan, wrote the newsletter and "housekeeping notes" (quaint term for my parental nag list), updated the website to reflect the new stuff and got some loose outline planning sorted. However each of these jobs then led to other joblets being added to the ever growing list including some monumental things like trying to get my head around the new SEND code of practice local offer that I must now publish. I now feel that I really must get everything up to speed as Mr Soup Dragon pointed me in the direction of the Sky News article about inspections. If you didn't see it they have investigated how Ofsted have not been keeping up with inspections. Allegedly there are 342 settings (nurseries and childminders) who haven't been inspected at all (lucky beasts), 7280 who haven't been inspected for 5 years and 611 who haven't been inspected for six years. It is almost 6 years since my last inspection and whilst we having been waiting for "THE KNOCK" for ages given this report I wouldn't be in the least surprised if the powers that be don't re-jig their inspection priorities and start hunting us 5 & 6 years and waiting settings down. However ......... it is a lovely day, the sun is shining and allegedly it's going to rain tomorrow and into next week so whilst I hate to procrastinate I feel an overwhelming urge to take a book down to the beach - after all I am "on holiday" B) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I saw that ........might have yelled a rude word or three at the TV Can there really be 342 settings operating without any inspection? :blink: Soooo working on your theory - I can relax we are only 3.5 years from our last inspection! My plans for today - s'pose I should get on with the 'to do' list - in reality I will probably head for my garden! ......decisions, decisions....... Have a lovely day at the beach Sue! :1b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Have just waited for a wash to finish so will be pegging it out and then it's back on the bike to cycle to the beach - whilst I feel righteous about having this little bit of exercise and fresh (diesel & petrol fumed) air I see absolutely no benefit in terms of inch loss - quite frankly by now (4 cycles rides to the beach - it is 7 miles there and back as the crow flies let alone pedalling around all those roads) I should have the figure of a pencil Enjoy your day - whatever you choose to do and for all those fellow procrastinators out there it's due to rain in the next couple of days as good as excuse as any to enjoy the summery weather whilst we have it B) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueJ Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yea Yea that old chestnut Had a lovely day at the seaside - cycled there and back, swam in the sea - terrified one of my little ones who left in July at the seaside because obviously we live in the cupboards at preschool and don't get out much if at all. At some point I really really really must look at some of the piles of work that are lying around feeling neglected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
