eyfs1966 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Can't help that Gove will suit his new role as chief whip. He has always been rather domineering and keen to "whip" everyone into shape....and as for Ms Truss, well, that role has normally come with a whole host of problems. I'm praying for floods and a plague of locusts. No doubt she'll say that France holds all the solutions!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It's my sister's birthday. She works in a secondary school and has text me to say Gove's departure is the best birthday present ever! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sn0wdr0p Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Just went through to tell my staff the good news. Looked at me as though I was mad. At least you all understand. Party Time tonight for everyone in early years then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimms o'clock? Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Truss will look to China and say we should think ourselves lucky every time we have floods and grow rice. Surely things can only get better??!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Party Time tonight for everyone in early years then? Maybe we should pop into chat later and have a congratulatory glass of something. I'll bring the twiglets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Nicky Morgan is not only Education Minister, but also Minister for Women and Equalities. Apparently she voted against equal marriage. I'm not sure how I feel about that, really. :huh: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Could not believe my ears when I heard this just now. Let's hope education and especially early Years will be be on the end of some positive attention from now on. Ohh glass of wine needed I think!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredbear Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Oh yes I do but I'm ever the optimist. Otherwise I would have given up long ago. Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Oh yes I do but I'm ever the optimist. Otherwise I would have given up long ago. Lol. Of course you are - and long may you continue to be. :1b You make an interesting point though. Education ministers come and go, but it is people like you and everyone here who continue day in and day out to work so hard to improve outcomes for the children and families you work with, with very little support - either moral or monetary - from the Government. The departing ministers won't say it as part of their leaving office, but I will. Well done to you all - you're doing a marvellous job and you all deserve an honour of some kind. :wub: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbear Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Ah bless you HappyMaz, I'm sure like me others will be touched by your heart warming words. And on that note, a huge monstrous thank you to this fab forum, for all your support, great humour and sound advice. What would we do without it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still chuffed though as had six new little ones signed up today so looks like things are on the up all ways round. Was pretty pessimistic about the future last week. Happy days.
