Mouseketeer Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 None taken finleysmaid, didn't think anything of it anyway....there's all this talk of higher qualifications yet I,m convinced schools still push the less academic pupils down the childcare route as they see it as an easy option for them......and i wonder if these mums are going to be working as volunteers or are we supposed to pay them instead of all the level 3,s we've just made redundant (who are now at home claiming benefits) in order to lower our staff ratios too cut costs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I thought the 'unmarried' bit was unnecessary...maybe he's aiming to increase marriage ratios! That's been brought up before!

Rea Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I haven't got a blue badge but occasionally the arthritis in my knees is so bad I don't want to walk further than I have to. In those cases I park in the parent and child bays, I've never known what their purpose is anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are wider so that you can open the door wide for getting your child in and out of their car seats easily, or to remove a car seat if it's a baby. Also so that you can put up a buggy/pram next to your car for putting your child straight in and without having to have it on the road which is dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 People who park in disabled/parent child places who don't have the right to.. Oh and blue badge holders who take advantage........my dear old mum will often say, as I'm driving round a car park looking for a space "just park in the disabled bit love, I've got my badge" Hmmm........."no mum because you are not getting out of the car"! Mind - I'm not putting my mum in Room 101 :blink: :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredbear Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The refuse people for blocking my drive every week when leaving to go to work with the bin. Why do they feel the need to put it slap bang in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sons who only give you the letter from school about the need to dress up as a book character for the opening of the new school library 2 days before the event!!! (not great for the unispired people like me) thought this would have finished now they are not at primary school!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 "We have a partial solution. We have a small army of unmarried mothers at home and living on benefits. There is no reason as to why these women could not with some training be working in Day Nurseries . The nursery could care for their children. This would cost little to implement."

beth1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Can I put in the phrase 'there is no I in team'? after the day I have had. Sorry but last time I looked there was 3 staff team members in the room not just me!!!. And I feel that is me doing all the 'paperwork/setting up' during my extremely busy mornings. Then can I be greedy and stick migraines in room 101 too? Sick to death of having them, no surprising when running around like a mad batty woman trying to get jobs done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Please may I THROW in parents who 'wind their poor children up about starting big school' I can't believe how early parents start to talk to their children about this - it is FEBRUARY - September is such a long, long way off for these children.... I have had two tell me already that their children are and I quote "So worried about big school" - yes, well they will be because YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT Oh and why do they have to call it 'big school' - why on earth can't they say 'Primary school'....... :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 That drives me nuts too Sunnyday. Its the only age group we tend to do t too. Could we use room 101 as a short break for people, I dont want to get rid of him forever, but if I could pack hubby off for a couple of days so I can finish his accounts without interruption, that'd be great! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 oooh Yes Sunnyday agreed!! Can we throw in the 'proper nursery' phrase too! (I've perfected the art of smiling through gritted teeth! We need an emoticon for this!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beth1 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm 'throwing' in cold weather, hearing aids, useless hats and ear infections. Grrrr yet another cold/mild/cold snap as set off an external ear infection in that dodgy right ear of mine. Off work poorly hope to be back for Friday. Can't believe it's happened again! However it's the fastest earliest time to get antibiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
