sunnyday Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 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! Hope you are feeling better today young Froglet? So will have to get on with the old TDL now - have booked a holiday for the last week of summer hols (yay) so must get everything done before I go! 1 Quote

Froglet Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Hope you are feeling better today young Froglet? So will have to get on with the old TDL now - have booked a holiday for the last week of summer hols (yay) so must get everything done before I go! Hurray for a holiday! Where are you off to? I spent 3 hours in school this morning - scrubbing role play furniture mainly. It lives in a shed and so do lots of other creatures hence the scrubbing before I let children use it. This afternoon I picked up my new (to me) car so have just spent a productive while figuring out how to set the radio stations cos clearly that's a key part of driving! I'm off to visit friends at the end of the week and have decided that the school part of my TDL will be done by then no matter what (and if it isn't I don't care!) 2 Quote

finleysmaid Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Have just come back from two weeks in devon....lovely area but weather was very British! lots of walks with the doggies on the beach and FAR too much eating so i'm guessing my to do list starts with DIET! :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: 5 Quote
lsp Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Well Finleysmaid cream teas are compulsory in Devon - well that's what I tell myself when I visit! Got so fed up last week that I booked next year's holiday to Cornwall. 3 Quote
lashes2508 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Every time I see this heading I can't help but think of the song ' I'll be working my way back to you babe with a burning love inside ! If only we all thought that about ' TDL 's' 3 Quote
thumperrabbit Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Well very pleased with myself as I actually did a chunk of 'TDL' yesterday :1b Only the nice things like childrens folders, name cards, staff badges etc but it was a start! I've decided 2 tasks a day and hopefully the essentials will be done I am NOT going into the setting to clean & tidy sheds and cupboards like I do every year, nobody puts things back where they got them from and I've decided to make a stand and not keep doing it for them - they won't like it I will however make sure all the admin type areas are sorted and ready to go as those are the ones that really affect me - I just hope this new me keeps it up 4 Quote
Mouseketeer Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 That sounds like a plan thumperrabbit...You need my sign.... "if I wanted to spend my day tidying up after everyone I'd stay at home !" At the half way point I'm hoping my TDL will starting getting shorter now rather than longer ....I wish 3 Quote
lsp Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Well done thumper rabbit. I had a similar day yesterday - lots of folders updated, new children added, removing those who suddenly don't want to come (but that's a different story!),registers, name tags, labels for resources, printing new copies of ECATS, learning stories and eyfs trackers. Basically all those things that the fairies come in and do through the night cos no-one else ever does!!!! Sorry, almost turned into a rant.. 4 Quote
sunnyday Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 :blink: can't think of any excuse good reason not to get on with it today..... . 2 Quote

Glad I'm not the only one who has 'no shows' there is always someone who tells you the week before when you've prepared everything for them - there is 1 job that I won't do until the night before we are due to go back and that is to write up my register; I hate having to cross people out it messes the page You did virtually the same as me yesterday :1b 2 Quote

Rafa Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Ive just started my To Do List! I said I was'nt doing one........its amazing how much you suddenly realise 'needs Doing'.......when your only a week away from opening again,! Yikes!!! The SEF is definately not on my panic list......... 4 Quote
thumperrabbit Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 My to do list was just what HAD to be done I've stuck by my words and have done no cleaning or sorting of anything at the setting, I am very proud of myself because I say this every year but this year I've stuck to it :1b the staff aren't going to be too pleased 8 Quote

The SEF is definately not on my panic list......... You are so 'brave' - I couldn't do that - have to get enough done so that I know we are ready for our return.........however I have done the same as I always do and have just done things in 'dribs and drabs' - I get on my own nerves - promised myself I would have the majority finished before the end of July - did I do it - that's a big fat no then! 4 Quote
