larnielass Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 My to do list is not going to plan. I think someone keeps breaking in at night and adding something to it. :unsure: Sunnyday--- just thinking about the word you use....... could it be "slip"???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Very funny ladies! Not much progress here today - pottered about in the garden just doing some gentle dead heading........walked the 'holiday dog'......watched two episodes of Escape to the Country and one of Location, Location, Location........read for a bit......few housework tasks and that's about it - nothing ticked off the old TDL today....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Sunnyday - I called in to see my lovely dad this afternoon - we were talking about Kent and I told him what you'd said - he knew exactly which S word you were going for! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I spent the morning in school so the TDL is a bit shorter. Absolutely beautiful day so did nothing more than chat to my dad and wander round the garden with him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I am down to 89 things on my list - it was 112! Pity that the things left on the school work part all require thinking about... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Wouldn't it be nice to just have a summer break where it was only the 'need doing every holiday' type things to worry about ie registers, new intake prep, fees, bit of cleaning etc...but nothing that needed to much brain work like new inspection handbooks, new this, new that to try and implement and get your head around so you can then get it into other staff and committee heads before going back ...just in case ofsted turn up and then work into policies when you had no intention of reviewing policies over the summer ...don't know about every one else but finding it very hard to focus at the moment, I also have a 1:1 staffing issue to sort before going back which only came up day before finishing and is not helping at all and has totally overtaken everything else ....but on the plus side Froglet my TDL doesn't have 89 things still to do...not that I've actually counted them :unsure: :wacko: :blink: :huh: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseketeer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 maybe i should add 'put TDL on a spreadsheet' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 maybe i should add 'put TDL on a spreadsheet' Absolutely! Provides endless possibilities for categorising, prioritsing, re-ordering and avoiding the whole TDL altogether! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Absolutely! Provides endless possibilities for categorising, prioritsing, re-ordering and avoiding the whole TDL altogether! I like the sound of that...though I'm making quite a good job of avoiding it already, well not avoiding really just not making much headway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 well -continue to work my way through the to do list - I have had a quick look at policies but am unsure how to add "prevent" policy to this and where - has anyone done this that could show me what they did please?

sunnyday Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Okay - hands up - who is it that keeps adding things to my to do list :blink: Feels like one step forward, three steps back......... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Know exactly what you mean Sunnyday. Although I'm down to 78 things I'm stalling as I've done most of the quick or routine jobs and now have to do the planning which needs thinking about and I would really like to make a start on writing the Harvest service. It's not until the first Friday in October but I know that the first few weeks back I will be shattered in the evenings, worrying about getting the baseline done and I need to give the other classes a bit of time to sort out what they do from my outline. Still... Bake Off starts tonight! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Still... Bake Off starts tonight! ohh.. I luffs Bake Off :1b :1b :1b Preferred it when it was on BBC2 but I can take it on 1 Well, I checked in on here before thinking about a few TDL jobs, but now think I might just do a bit of 'bake-off' research now instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Can't wait for Bake Off - think one of us should start another thread so that we discuss early favourites etc. :1b Right .........back to the old TDL now - I'm going to give it another hour today and then settle down to some reading I think! :1b the housework will do itself I'm sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I (with my mum and dad's help) spent the morning in school and have sorted my shed! We threw out a shed's worth and put back a shed's worth! Things have been disinfected, scrubbed and tidied and you can now walk from one end to the other! It's fab. I'm now resting on the sofa after what was an essential long, hot shower! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well done that mum and dad! You are a lucky girl young froglet, I'm sure they deserve a walnut cake! I already made them a picnic with a loaf of my homemade bread and delicious cheese. Just the kind of food they like. The next time I make a cake it will go their way (Dad doesn't like nuts or they would get walnut cake)! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The TDL is not progressing! I can't make myself sit down and get on with it. Don't know what's been wrong with me today but I've felt so achey and just kept falling asleep and nothing much has been done! Have just about convinced myself to give up, have a bath and go to bed! Hoping tomorrow will be more productive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Sounds like that's the best thing to do Froglet. Your body's way of saying time to rest now. TDL can wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
