louby loo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Froglet it looks yummy! :1b :1b :1b So far this term I have embraced my creativity - I have made a patchwork quilt (well the front) and a rather impressive sewing machine bag. I have also cleaned my windows -inside and out - and done loads of washing. Lovely sunny days here both today and yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'm beginning to realise that an Artisan baking day may not have been a great plan for my waistline (or for tools to procrastinate over planning with). I'm now contemplating a loaf with fresh rosemary, cheese and walnuts and possibly a smidgin of onion chutney too! I'm struggling to come up with different flavours for the sweet dough mix though so any special requests gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Froglet - you are making me extremely hungry... :blink: :lol: .......I feel that 'your' artisan baking is not good for my waist line either--- and I'm only reading about it! :wacko: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you do the gardening in the drizzle and I'll bake bread and you can come up here for a fresh loaf straight out the oven. Having said that I've seen my oven and a serious clean is in order before any more baking I think! :blink: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Sunnyday - re-ovens. Do you think 'they' send out updates about oven cleaning?...... maybe we miss them. Should we have an A4 poster displayed in our kitchen with advice and telephone numbers that our family/visitors can contact if they have concerns about how we care for our ovens? ..........hmmm, I'm now thinking I should have an 'oven cleaning policy' :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then one of my oldest friends rang - we only speak three or four times a year - glad it was her 'phone bill - we managed to chat for over an hour - probably nearer two! :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 You really are putting us to shame Sunnyday with all this progress - what happened to procrastination Froglet the bread offer is just soooooooo tempting - As for oven cleaning - surely the policy is break on purpose replace oven once old one is too disgusting to put anything in I have however invested in dishwasher cleaner and washing machine cleaner - dear little bottles that you chuck in said appliances and turn on - good enough clean for me Am continuing my double life as a navvy - note to self never put gravel in an area that you might at some point in the dim and distant future want to move it from - I have shifted nearly a tonne of the stuff (shame that this is not matched by body flubber ) - there is still a little to go so no bulbs in yet and the turf is being delivered tomorrow :blink: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 We are havving the most beastly miserable weather here this week. The thick fog and drizzle has not lifted once. Have updated sef (Sorry sunny day) and am going to set about writing our action plans with a column about the impact this will have when complete rather than just a tick list. Have also updated our website. I did also defrost my freezer yesterday which is a job I hate like cleaning the oven! Have run out of oven cleaner and they are charging £4.99 for it in the village shop!! So that was a good enough excuse to wait until I get into the supermarket. My dog did not have his op on Monday, they put him under and did the x rays and decided to give him two more weeks rest and different tablets. So he is incredibly fed up as he just wants to go for a run!! Hope to goodness I wake up to a view tomorrow and not this fog as I may go slightly bonkers. (Well more so than usual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Sorry to hear that you are suffering miserable weather zigzag - I am only a couple of counties along the coast and today have a lovely sunny day - however what I am doing on here when I have more gravel to sift through I'm not sure - time to cosy up to that grindstone again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Sef updated and new feedback from reception teacher included. New format of development/improvement plan designed and actions put on it. Statutory and professional training plans completed to include new staff member. Room set up for Monday. :angry: :angry: Signs put up around the village to try and shame whoever has stolen four of our brand new wheelbarrows and to ask them to return them :angry: If I get my hands on them, they will be sorry Just got planning sheets to do now and print out all new paperwork for new staff member starting on Monday That will mean three qualified staff members again I am trying to be so up to date with my paperwork in case Ofsted remember that we are still here!! God I hope they come soon, I am not sure how much longer I can take the pressure of thinking "Will it be today?" Just need to go and play with my poor depressed dog, who despite lots more rest is still limping!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueJ Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I have sorted of finished my SEF - it is currently with my Deputy for buck passing proof reading to check where I need to put any more "impact" statements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 All this talk of SEFs - I'm beginning to feel left out! Almost want one of my own... Currently reads Wider, greyer, heavier, shabbier and tireder than she really ought to be. Full of both toffee and good intentions. Needs to have more realistic aspirations in all areas. Is that the kind of thing a SEF should have in it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 All this talk of SEFs - I'm beginning to feel left out! Almost want one of my own... Take mine - please - honestly I don't mind! Sending a huge 'pat on the back' to the SEF completers! :1b I have had a lovely self-indulgent week - I have done what I wanted to when I wanted to :1b 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
