SueJ Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Day off today (hollow laugh) - attacked my garden - if it hasn't moved quick enough it's been power washed, have cleared paths and even been to the tip with all the **** from my toils (unfortunately you can't take the SEF to the tip ). Tomorrow I shall resume my role as navvy and with the help of my lovely mum and dad demolish the children's Wendy House at work ready for the sparkly new one which is arriving on Wednesday - sooo exciting. Obviously I have no time whatsoever to consider paperwork so it has sunk to the bottom of my to do list - Shame :rolleyes: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 You lot are wearing me out! I don't break up until tomorrow and am shattered just reading what you've been up to! I'm not sure I have enough energy to get through tomorrow let alone the holiday. I am currently nibbling some mocha pecan fudge I made to give a sugar boost to get through the last few days. Yes Sunnyday there is some left - when are you coming round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sn0wdr0p Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 How about making butter from cream. Get some whipping cream put it in a jam jar and get the kids to shake it vigourously (I ended up doing a lot of the shaking) for about 10-15 minutes. We made bread with the children as well and they buttered it with the home made butter. Our out of school children did a comparison with bread buttered with Flora and couldn't tell which was which. We also pretended to milk a cow with milk in rubber gloves but only with our pre-schoolers as a practice at home with my boys ended up with lots of giggles and rude comments.

Guest sn0wdr0p Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 We have sheared sheep before as well. Ok not really but we use shaving foam on balloons then use a car ice scraper to shear them. Great fun. Hatching chicks after Easter as well. Really looking forward to that. Sadly they all hatched overnight last time so the children missed it - I was there all night though. Very stressful as one struggled to hatch and I had to use a pair of tweezers to help. They did smell a bit last time when they were in the brooder. How about making a scarecrow for the vegetable patch? We also partnered up with our local co-op and they raised funds for the children to go to one of their farms. The children went out in the fields then made pizza with some of the fresh veggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.......my to do list - looks like this: Update SEF (I am going to do this honest!) - check! Type up Staff meeting minutes - check! (I love adding things that I have completed!) - check LJ reviews + next step planning for my Key Children - check Update PRAMS for all - check Prepare Invoices for fee payers - watching out for Bank Hols - check Write, type, print newsletter - check Make new register - check Work on 'places' list for September - ah, right - well I've started........ Buy resources - hmm - sure this will involve a visit to Staples! :rolleyes: check Check that we have all required policy docs (yeah right that's probably not going to happen!) er well er um...... Hmmm - wonder what I have forgotten :blink: Yay - not too bad then!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
