SueJ Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Well taking a leaf out of your procrastination book Sunnyday I managed a coffee with a friend before purchasing one of those "put it together yourself" shelving kits - I'm now ready to take on the garage which is the preferred job out of the wildly exciting choices available! My transition documents are all done by the children's keypeople - they had to be finished before the end of the half term as we have our "transitions speed dating" meeting next week! Hope you enjoy celebrating your friend's birthday - much better than a TD list 1 Quote
Froglet Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Well, I can thoroughly recommend the Roald Dahl museum - brilliant day out! Travelling back home from my sister's today (about an hour) hopefully going to IKEA and finally getting some pictures hung that have been lying around for ages then out for dinner with friends tonight. 1 Quote
Froglet Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 My dinner out has been cancelled - one person's ill! Now I need to think what to eat for tea - have no ideas at all! May go to the cinema instead - any recommendations (for tea or cinema!)? Quote
sunnyday Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 Oh no what a shame young froglet We are having beef stir fry for tea - I am,as ever, on a mission to see just how many meals I can get from one joint - this will be number 3 Can't help with the cinema haven't been for ages no idea what's likely to be showing Quote
Panders Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 We were going to see a Queen tribute band locally, but they were playing outside and we think it's too cold, so have cried off! We are having prawns and smoked salmon for tea ! Cinema - nothing on I would want to watch Ninjas or Russell Crowe, Angry Birds, - Alice through the looking Glass? maybe the latter is not a recent production! Hope you have better luck locally Froglet. Quote
Froglet Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Panders and Sunnyday your teas sound delicious! I plumped for couscous with roast Mediterranean veggies, chicken and feta. Couldn't find anything I fancied but I have a new book group book which sounds like it might be interesting so shall have a peaceful evening with that. Plus I have 2 revised policies to read in my governor role... Quote
sunnyday Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 Well your tea sounds equally delicious! Enjoy your quiet evening 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Has everyone got their work bags ready for the morning?! Quote
sunnyday Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 C'mon ladies no need for the sad faces - you know you will have fun.....Well that's what I'm telling myself anyway...... 2 Quote
Froglet Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I have an INSET day and will be working at home so no bag packing until tomorrow for me! I do need to do the dishes and the ironing though! 1 Quote
thumperrabbit Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Has everyone got their work bags ready for the morning?! Erm no, will do it in the morning I'm enjoying watching Soccer Aid plus I'm in serious 'run down' mode! 3 Quote
MegaMum Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Desk still piled high... Keep saying I must go sort it out! 1 Quote
louby loo Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Survived fist day back. ::1a ::1a ::1a Lots of children off due to inset days for our local schools- so a nice chilled out session...especially with the sun out. Slightly spoiled by a general unrest amongst staff - we have a very disengaged owner and it's now affecting staff goodwill. It's such a shame because they are such a great bunch, but I guess you can only take so much ******taking. Still onwards and upwards, and at least our sense of humour gets us all through it.. ::1a 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 Lots of children off due to inset days for our local schools- so a nice chilled out session...especially with the sun out. Ah yes we were quiet for the same reason - so much so that I declared myself surplus to requirements and left at 10:45 - came home and got on with some of my never ending TD tasks :1b 2 Quote

Panders Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I think we should have done the spring cleaning thing on reflection, Still there's always tomorrow, we had water pistol "fights". I find if I tell them they mustn't spray each other, it keeps it down to a minimum and they feel "slightly naughty" rather than drenching each other. 4 Quote
SueJ Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 It was back to "normal" whatever that is - even with school inset days mine all turned up apart from 2 with chickenpox - needed to send 2 home at lunchtime with temperatures (both had been unwell over the weekend but insisted to their parents that they come in today !!!!!!!!!! - parents denied giving any temperature reducing meds before bringing them!!!!) Tomorrow I shall be taking in "snake iceberg" (large bucket of rubber snakes frozen in different layers) which has been sitting in my chest freezer over the half term as a "provocation" - hopefully the children will find it interesting! Was hoping to also be surplus to requirements today to crack on with TD list but that didn't quite pan out - maybe tomorrow! Quote
MegaMum Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Paid the price tonight for having a break over half term..... been hard at it from 6pm until now. Hey ho! Just the reports looming now. Quote
Froglet Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Hmmm, well I'm feeling grumpy - had an INSET day for report writing only to discover at the end of it that I had done them wrong! I've only done 4 as I was struggling with them but I'm still fed up! Quote

Panders Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I'm feeling your pain had a VERY loud morning One of my four year old boys came in with a T shirt bearing the legend Loud, Louder, Loudest! on it. To say that it suits him perfectly seems superfluous. 3 Quote

To say that it suits him perfectly seems superfluous. :lol: I had the bright idea of having a bit of a music focus this week so we made Kazoo's today....very happy parent to see 60 children with kazoo's! especially the one who said oh great! we've got a long car journey now ::1a ::1a ::1a ::1a ::1a ::1a I wasn't sympathetic! 2 Quote

finleysmaid Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Ohwww.............. How do you make these ? I must do them :lol: :lol: :lol: 1/2 a kitchen paper roll....circle of silicone/thick greaseproof paper pulled tight across one end and attached with a tight rubber band. small hole punched in side of roll (about 2" from top...but not important to measure) We designed a cover for them and stuck it round the outside. The tricky bit is trying to play it ...you need to have a practise...don't try to blow more like singing with an open mouth???do this down the open end!!! we actually did it for a SALT exercise and also for the making music/rhythm part of the eyfs WARNING...your staff may throttle you! ::1a 2 Quote
Panders Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 what ever happened to just a comb and greaseproof paper! Got sent out of needlework class because of that!!!! 4 Quote
