Guest Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I have learnt that if you forget to wash out the cornflour and water mixture on a Friday afternoon, by Monday it will have made the whole of the Reception area stink of vomit! It will still stink when you take it outside and people will ask who has been sick. When you eventually get round to washing it out you have to hold your nose to stop yourself urging! Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Where's the wrily smiling smiley? This would never happen to us, because we're a packaway and couldn't leave anything like that out over the weekend. I guess it falls into the category of never making that mistake again - hope you all had very strong stomachs! Maz Quote
Panders Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I learnt that I could burn a cd without the help of the kids (mine that is) surprising what you can do when you are motivated Quote
beth1 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I have learnt that laughing is really the best medicine. Beth Quote
mps09 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I've learn that if you eat a whole family bag of Haribo in one go..... then you get tummy ache and if you haven't offered your colleagues any - then they are really unsympathetic!! Quote
Panders Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I've learn that if you eat a whole family bag of Haribo in one go..... then you get tummy ache :rolleyes: and if you haven't offered your colleagues any - then they are really unsympathetic!! :wacko: Quote
Guest Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Where's the wrily smiling smiley? Maz I tried to insert a 'feeling sick' smiley but couldn't find one! Quote
Guest Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 i learn't that making biscuits with children who haven't ever experienced it before makes your heart all warm!! and watching them eat their creations well there isn't much more to top it off apart from a cherry maybe!!!! Quote
Cait Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I learned that scratching a stickle brick through paint makes great hedgehog spikes! Quote
Guest budgie1 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I learnt that painting with conkers with the under 2s is very very messy!!! Quote
Cait Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I learnt that painting with conkers with the under 2s is very very messy!!! Haha doing that tomorrow!!! Quote
finleysmaid Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 i've learnt that wherever you stand near a bonfire ...cooking pancakes....will be where the smoke is Quote
beth1 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I have learnt that I have no idea where my new first aid certficate is. Ummm I am wondering if I actually passed, and if not why after being told that everyone on the course had passed. Beth Quote
Guest Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Only just realised I wrote 'To Day' instead of 'today' in the topic title! Must have been all that cornflour odour inhalation! Is there is a way of editing it? Hope you find your first aid certificate Beth! Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Only just realised I wrote 'To Day' instead of 'today' in the topic title! Must have been all that cornflour odour inhalation! Is there is a way of editing it? I've edited it for you. Maz Quote
Rea Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I learnt to do a financial spreadsheet that adds itself up and while doing it I have also learnt that father-in-laws dinner is going to be VERY late!! Edited October 6, 2010 by Rea Quote
Guest Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I learned that the paediatrician can be running over an hour late for a 2.10pm appointment when the clinic only started at 2pm Cue a very distressed daughter, a stressed mum/childminder and hubby to the rescue to cover the school run..... I'll be wiser when we have to return in 2 months. I also learned that whoever planned the children's department overlooked the need for space for pushchairs, wheelchairs or anyone attending with more than 1 child AND that my mobile phone signal is more off than on in there! Quite a learning experience Nona Quote
beth1 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I have learnt that I deprately need a new pair glasses before I can drive long distances again. I have learnt that my brain has decided to return to normal, no more falling over or going dizzy. Or was it the fact that an ear infection, ear drop and poor glasses don't mix hahahaha. I have learnt that I found a story I did a few years ago on supply, totally forgotten I did that. Ummmmmm better see if I can make it better for my degree Language assigment. Quote
sunnyday Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I learned that I should check the pockets of pre-school craft aprons before putting them through my washing machine - no harm done - it was only play figures - wondered what the 'clunking' noise was - could have much worse - play money or something else that could have found its way into the filter......... Quote
Rea Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I learnt years ago that wax crayons in pockets and then in the tumble drier arent a good idea ! Today I learnt that ferrets are addictive. We have 1, we went to the RSPCA center to adopt another and I can see me making the trip again in the future. They're SOOOO lovely Quote
Cait Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I've learned that I'm a wuss because I didn't stand up to a member of staff when she challenged one of my decisions yesterday and I planned what I was going to say today and I still didn't Quote
Panders Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Ahh Cait - we've all been there I'm sure. Not a wuss, just finding a different route to making it happen that's all Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I've learned that I'm a wuss because I didn't stand up to a member of staff when she challenged one of my decisions yesterday and I planned what I was going to say today and I still didn't As Panders said Cait, we've all been there. Maybe you just need to think a bit more creatively about how to raise the issue in a different way. Don't be too hard on yourself though! Maz Quote
hali Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 i did exactly the same today Cait - you are not alone - kicking myself now though Quote
Cait Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks each! She's convinced she's right (according to another member of staff) so challenging her today would have been a waste of time I think. You've made me feel better - didn't sleep last night for rehearsing my 'speech' and still didn't deliver it! Glass of wine tonight and leave it till next week I think! Quote
Rea Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Save it. Use it at another time to highlight a different decision. I cant count the times I should have said something ot one particular member of staff and then didnt partly because I knew it would cause an atmosphere for everyone else (she was a great sulker) and partly because she wouldnt have listened and I'd have been even more angry. Enjoy the wine! Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Glass of wine tonight and leave it till next week I think! I've started that management course I was talking about and yesterday had to grade myself on a set of criteria, one of which was "being accountable for my own actions and holding others to account for theirs". Needless to say I scored highly for the former, and lower for the latter! It doesn't help when we don't like confrontation! Enjoy the wine Cait! Maz Quote
Guest Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I've learnt that a glass of wine on a Friday solves (or eases) a lot of things! Quote
