Thanks both of you 😍 xx

Hope you feel better soon Louby - in my case I haven’t had my flu jab yet!

Oh Louby - feel well soon x (I didn't have any side effects from my flu jab)

Hello folks! Bit confused this week! I usually work Mon-Weds........ this week it was Weds- Fri. As you can guess I now keep thinking today is Wednesday!! Like Froglet I too feel like I'm 'fighting something'. very tired and feeling a bit meh. Might just be the flu jab though? Seem's to be a lot of Covid around her too at the moment. My friend had it and I've not acutally seen her for a good few weeks now (and she only lives 4 door down to me) she say's it completley knocked her out. Nice quiet week-end planned -which suits me fine the week. 😊

Oh no young Froglet, I'm so sorry to read that you are feeling poorly - sending masses of get well vibes x Pumpkin shaped cake - hmmm - pass, no idea, but sure you will come up trumps!

Sunnyday, glad you got the covid jab booked and sorry to hear about the house sale - hope things speed up soon. Your post box topper sounds lovely - there are some really amazing ones aren't there? This week has been a bit 'nothingy' I'm feeling under the weather - a cold which won't come to anything so bunged up, headachey and tired. I should be doing some school work and loads of house things but have just curled up with cosy TV and cross stitch. I have been asked to make a pumpkin shaped cake for a 'guess the weight of the cake' activity at fundraiser. No idea where to start really but need to get thinking - it's due next Thursday!

I'm back! Private Covid jab booked for next Tuesday - phew!

Good morning - 'tis Friday Can't believe that I am saying this - but it would seem that Covid is rife here again - lots of people in our little village have been/are very poorly with it - best I try to source out a private jab, as I did last year...Mr S was given his along with our flu jabs last week. I am wondering now if that was why our local hospital declared a 'Critical Incident' I thought it was flu... I really need to work out how to share a photo on here - I want to show you the Nativity set that I made for my friends son SEN reception class...I have 'orders' for three more, I have said no, never again, took me hours and hours to make! 🤣 but nice that people liked it! Next knitting job is to make poppies for our post-box topper - one of my knitting group has made the most lovely army helmet - we are (hopefully) going with just that and a host of poppies - should look lovely, quite poignant I think. Shed (bloody) shed think our sons will be here this weekend. Such disappointing news for the house sale - we had the exciting news a few weeks back that we would complete 8th October - nope, haven't even exchanged contracts yet...I honestly can't wait for the time that I am not dealing with Estate Agents and Solicitors 🤦‍♀️ Hope everyone is okay and has had a good week Happy weekend all x

I think forums such as the Foundation Stage Forum are important for early years practitioners because they give people the opportunity to share their experiences and learn from each other. As someone who works in a nursery, I think it is useful to hear different ideas about working with young children, supporting their development and dealing with different situations. I would be interested in contributing to discussions about play, children’s development, learning and supporting individual children’s needs. I also think that practitioners should reflect on their own practice and be open to learning from other people. Reading different opinions does not mean that you have to agree with everything that is said, but it can help you think about your own ideas and consider whether there are different ways of doing things.

🤣🤣🤣

I call him a lot worse, he’s used to it!

Oh thanks louby that's good to hear - poor Mr S he really has enough going on without this. Oooh we are going to be flu jab twins! 🤣

Don't tell him I called him a complete numpty 🤣

Took me about 6 hours to actually post my weekly update, and I missed Zigzags!! So good to hear that your mum's health is now going in the right direction. xxx

Hi All, Sunnyday - my daughter's friend had the eye-lash issue, she had the eye procedure and all good now. Froglet - you've achieved well this week! I seem to have been busy all week, but I can't remember what with- other than that I made tomato soup! Flu jab tomorrow, that's about how exciting my weekend plans are 😂 xx

Couldn’t agree with you more! I will tell him.

Oh Mr zigzag - please get your flu jab (you complete numpty🤣) Our local hospital declared a 'Critical Incident' this week as there were absolutely no empty beds, one of the biggest issues was flu, apparently flu season has come early.

The usual week here. Monday had my grandson for the day (best day of the week) then picked him up from nursery at lunchtime on Wednesday and had him for a couple of hours. Work is the usual but slowing up a bit now on the changeovers which is a welcome relief! Mum is doing ok, mood has been good this week! Back to all her clubs and groups which has helped enormously. No change in the face of the eye but is now drinking without having to use a straw which is great progress. Have done some lovely dog walks in this gorgeous weather this week, long may it continue. Poor mr S! Tell him to sort himself out and get normal growing eye lashes! Hope his eye recovers quickly! My husbands refusing ti have his flu jab as is convinced he will be poorly for two weeks afterwards. Trying to persuade him that they offer it to his age group for a reason and he’s damn lucky to be offered it! Watch this space… Have a great weekend all. Xx

Quietish week here. My dad has asked me to shorten some trousers for him, I’m finally feeling like I’m seeing progress on the cross stitch I’m doing by. I tried out some Bakewell cookies which were good - I may eat far too many! Just about to do a little school work and other jobs. I have a bit of a sore throat today so am ‘nursing’ that in the hopes it doesn’t get worse before I’m back in school. Have a good weekend all.

Good morning - 'tis Friday! Busy week here - poor Mr S has had a few medical appointments - including a visit to an optician yesterday afternoon...he has had a sore eye for several weeks and has tried all sorts of drops etc...I finally convinced him that he needed to see someone about it (other than the two pharmacists that he had already tried) - anyway long story short - it was eyelashes on his lower eyelid that were growing 'the wrong way' and scratching his eye - the optician plucked them all out - ouch! Apparently they will just regrow and he has/will be referred to an eye hospital for some sort of procedure - ouch again! We both have flu jabs tomorrow - not sure if he will also get a Covid one - oh the joys of getting old! Shedgate saga continues - much more building still to be done - youngest son is coming tomorrow morning (eldest son is going axe-throwing as you do🤣) Someone has donated another £10.00 to the Macmillan fund and we still have the payments made through the QR code to be added to our final total - we are all feeling very pleased with ourselves! Hope everyone is okay - how is your lovely mum this week zigzag? Happy weekend all x

Hi, I'm afraid this is not something that is currently available but I have passed on your feedback to the development team. In the meantime, you could use the reflections area as this is available for staff only. Thank you for your feedback.

We are just about to have a demo from Cura, but I would be so happy if Tapestry could introduce a safeguarding area. It could be managed the same as finance etc and even have the option of password protection for managers etc.

You can now quickly switch between Tapestry settings if you are linked to more than one account. If you log in to multiple accounts using the same email address, you’ll be able to see the other settings you are linked to by clicking the switch icon 🔁 at the top of the sidebar, next to the name of the setting you’re currently logged into. If you log in using a different password, you’ll see a padlock symbol next to the setting name. This means you’ll need to enter your password before completing the switch. Note: This feature is not available for PIN-only staff or child login. The following updates are also now available on Tapestry. New Birth to 5 reference material within the EYFS flagset Montessori activity descriptors are now visible The ‘Manage Groups’ page has had a redesign for improved user experience Care Diary form PDF exports now include the ability to see whether the relative signed this off on their own device or setting device The Accident tracking screen has been reintroduced allowing the ability to export a single PDF detailing all accidents during a time period. To navigate to this screen - Planning & Monitoring > Care Diary > Accident Tracking. Online Child Register – there will now be a collected/dropped off field. This needs to be turned on first through Management System > Configuration > Registers. Online Staff Register – staff and pin only users will not be able to edit their own in/out time This update also includes minor bug fixes and user interface improvements for a smoother experience.

Well done Sunnyday. Xx

That’s a fantastic total! Congratulations to you all
