Resignation

[Rea]

I've written the letter, will give it to chair on Tuesday. Gulp!!

Just had to tell someone only I've just realised the time and all good girls and boys are in bed.

[Susan]

oh, Rea I know you've been struggling with this for a while but I am so sorry to hear it is that bad!

Hope you are feeling better about it now.

Thinking of you as I know this isnt easy.

[Sue R]

Hi Rea!

 

Hugs, it'll be tough, but you'll get through. Bet they're shocked and can't understand it.

 

Good luck, we're all here for you

 

Sue

thoughts are with you Rea....

[Beau]

It's not as if this is a hasty decision Rea. It will be good for your sanity!!! Just think about the exciting future you've got ahead of you doing something new.

[Rea]

Like signing on if I cant find a job...

 

Actually flunked out of telling staff today, feeling really cowardly.

Oh well they can take it, worked with me long enough to be able to cope with shocks

Thanks for your thoughts

[Inge]

Thinking of you... hopefully it will easier from now on... well eventually when the dust settles. Just hope you gave the real reason for leaving or at least tell them when u have left, or there will no way of improvement for those that follow.

Dear Rea

I'm sorry that things got so bad. I know we have had our winge before and ou have been worried about the proposed pre-school move into school. But ultimaltey your own health and well being is what is important and you must take care and make things better for yourself.

Well done that you have decided to make you the number 1.

 

There is life after resigantion. I went for an interview today and out of 8 candidates- i got the job!!!!!

 

So don't give up

Rea, Hopefully you will remain in the Early Years profession, maybe tutoring, which I think you've mentioned before, I loved it and miss it.

Keep us posted and now that weight is off your shoulders by writing it all down, be brave, pass your thoughts to those who need to know them.

 

Leo, congratulations, well done on your interview success

 

Peggy

[Susan]

Well done Leo! What's the job!?

[Guest]

2 1/2 days in Yr 1 as part of a job share- initially for 2 terms but could go on. The school is 5 mins away so i can walk to school and the school is very keen to extend the foundation stage ethos into yr 1

[Guest]

Sounds good Leo. Well done!

Linda

[Guest]

Congratulations Leo. Look forward to hearing how it is going once you start.

 

Sorry to hear you sad news Rea. We are all here when you want to have a moan, tear, or shout.

 

Hope everything works out well for you.

 

Love Tiny

But you know it is!! Look to the future! My family said I was a different person when I gave it up!!Thinking of you! Good Luck!

[Rea]

Well done Leo. it sounds perfect. Congratulations

[Beau]

Congratulations Leo - nice to see you spreading the foundation word upwards!! There you go Rea - don't be pessimistic, there's the right job for you out there too.

[Guest]

Good luck Rea(whatever you decide to do). Congratulation Leo

[Rea]

I've done it. Gave chair the letter this morning. I drove home smiling so I know I've done the right thing. Will worry about the bills another day!

Choices from now on are

tutoring (really want to do this)

Paperwork for hubby's business (really want to do this????)

Sign on with an agency (thinking of money here)

The world is my oyster...plus NO MORE OFSTED

[hali]

Glad ur smiling Rea

[Beau]

It must be the right decision then Rea. You'll be able to let me know what life is like after playgroup.

[Guest alisonjayne]

Well done Rea and good luck with whatever you decide to do, I took time out 3 years ago and worked in an office it gave me time to regain my sanity, but it also made me realise that I missed working with children, I am back now

Well done Leo

Ali

[Sue R]

Congratulations Leo!

 

rea - well done, it's hard with a Management Committee, because they can become such good friends, but I'm sure you've done the right thing.

 

Teddy had arrived when I got back from work yesterday (FAB day, thanks all!!). Today he met the children and had a look around the setting. Going to involve him more tomorrow, now he's had a chance to feel 'at home'. Who wants him next???

 

Sue

[Magenta]

Are you going to post some photos of Teddy in different settings?

We would love a visit from him too.

[Sue R]

I am taking photos for inclusion in the 'travelling bag' - hadn't thought of posting on here! Will try when I get them developed

 

He's really cute, Rea, the children love him!

 

Sue

[Guest]

We would love to have him at some point Sue. We already have our two teddies that the children take home, Lottie and Russ. I'm sure they would be delighted to meet him. Does he have a name by the way??

Linda

[Sue R]

Hi, Linda,

 

Confused the issue there, a bit, didn't I ??!

 

No, he hasn't a name yet, but as soon he gets one, you will be informed!!! I'll try to stop my lot hogging it, but they're quite inventive - our Roamer is called Colin (apologies to all who already knew this little gem!!! )

 

For everyone else's information, there is now a thread in the 'Setting Links' forum where you can register an interest in having Teddy visit. please excuse my slackness, but I'm new to this type of co-ordination business, but am learning fast.
