Zigzag, he is so beautiful ! Congratulations to you all 😁

Opps! Late again 🙃 Week two done ✔️...... and now I'm off for two weeks 😁 Nothing planned- but I really must tidy the house! Very quiet here, so I hope everyone is keeping well. Sunnyday- hope you get to relax this weekend. Forglet - may your motivation continue! cx

Well, yesterday (Friday)I went to log into my 'Thursday' teams meeting - and was very confused to be able to read the minutes from the meeting... then the penny dropped!🙄🤣

Morning all - week one done! 🤣 Sunny today, so off to sort the garden out. Have a good weekend all. x

I would read this as yes as the FA is booked within the three months? Is she already qualified - if so did she start before 2014/16 (I cant remember the actual year offhand) because that also makes a difference on the need for PFA.

Sunny day - do you have Søstrene Grenes store near you? Bit of a game changer in the stationery department! 😂 It's sort of like an upmarket Ikea.... but Ikea prices. You walk around a meandering route whilst looking at lots of pretty things (including stationery) that you don't really need whilst listening gentle tranquil classical music! I also quite like a Tyger Tyger store too- but that one better with the GC in tow 😂

Sorry to hear about your dad, but this also makes it more important to take care of yourself first. 🌷🌷🌷 Remember: ALWAYS PUT ON YOUR OWN OXYGEN SUPPLY BEFORE HELPING OTHERS! I now subscribe to tw**kl (not sure if I'm allowed to put the full name) yes it is a tad expensive- but they seem pretty 'on it' and it's actually saved me a lot of time and 'mental energy'. take care xx

My thought exactly!!

EYFS updates- pretty straighward for us really, it's how we work anyway. ( may have a quick read through this afternoon- the one page changes that is- not the whole EYFS document 😂) Nutritional - we've tried to stick to that already, we only provide snacks- and they have always just been fruit, breadstick milk/water. . Our lunch boxes are usually pretty good, but we do give out a leaflet when the child starts. Re birthdays cakes etc... well our children tend to bring sweets (fun size) and we give these out at then end of the session when the parents/carers collect, we remind children they can only have when ok with parents - and I'm sticking with that!🤷‍♀️ Climate plan- my view is don't overthink it! Mine, when I write it next week will pretty much say- Recyle everthing we can, print less stuff, look after resources and buy secondhand and donate when possible! Oh, and use less chemicals ie hot saopy water for whiping tables down etc. Hoping all goes well for you next week.

Thinking of you family Sunnyday- hope all goes well. x

Morning all, Sunnyday the same here! Hope everyone has had a good week, and will have a good weekend too. Well it's my last 'free day' 😂 Anybody want to tell me what I should have done if I had a 'to do list'? 😂😂 I've printed a register, new names will be done next week during 'work-time' We only have returners on the first week- so they can use their old names (I am cutting down on printing and especially laminating- we did used to do a new set for everyone each year) I have a new diary to update- but again I'll do that monday morning at work 😮😂 Nothing else done- I really am holding out on only working during 'working time' 😊 ........ athough I have literally just remembered I need to order milk delivery!!!!! Good job I remembered that- as our local shop is closed for a refit. x

I just caught the tail end of this on the BBC news 😢

If I'm totally honest if the scouts/landlords rang me this afternoon saying 'sorry, you can't have the hall anymore' I wouldn't loose any sleep tonight! 😂 I am neither looking foward or dreading going back. I used to enjoy spending time during the summer hols planning (not planning planning!) our return - updating policies, thinking about resources, going in to tidy cupboard and all that gumph etc. Then towards the end of the hols I would actually be looking fowards to returning, having more structure to my day and meeting people. This year zilch interest whatsoever! - I guess it a case of "when you know you know" .... and I definitely know it's time. I don't even feel any guilt about not doing anything 😂

Late to the Friday chat - but just had a lovely week in Norfolk. Sorry to hear about your week sunnyday. TIA's are a worry, but often a a early warning sign. My brother had one about 6/7 years ago, and is absolutely fine now, and they thought Andy had one about 10 years ago - but it turned out to be a return to migraines (he used to get really bad ones in his20/30s). The good news is they are now both in 'the system' and get regaular health check-ups. Andy has his next regular MRI scan next Sunday. Good that your week ended well with a little show 🎶🎶💃🎶🎶 Froglet- I love that you are enjoying the dog walks 🐕 😊 I just have one more week left before I return to work- I have no list, and I have done nothing much workwise this summer!!! (I may need to put a little effort in this week... well at least do the new registers 🙄😂)

Cait- so very true. I have a job Ive been putting off for months now, I really should just do it! (It is a job that includes forgotten passwords, it will eith be easy or very stressful) 😩 How lovely for you Sunnyday 😊 We took the GC to one of the free viewing platforms up in London this week. They loved it- the excitment when they got out of the lift and saw the "whole of London" 😂 Have a good week everyone. We are off to the coast for a few days next week- and I'm glad it cooling down a bit. I'm not really a heat lover- to me 24 is hot!
