Mouseketeer Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 From not having any jobs last week to having a list this week........... So far: Made flyers to distribute around about, low numbers this year and NO waiting list! Manipulated minutes of AGM to include new members being voted on! Sent estimated numbers to EY dept ready for first lot of funding. Complete guess because staff didnt want to do 'work stuff' today. Cant blame her, but neither did I! Written out and sent the dates we require to rent the church hall. Same day, every week and virtually every month...but still they require it. Prepared letters to go to the 5 new starters, telling them when to arrive and what to expect. Still to do: Wages. Birmingham council require us to pay minimum wage of £7.85 so that needs changing. Registers, name labels. But only when staff can tell me who they are. Arrange cleaning day and a meal out. Re-read 2011 PLA constitution because I'm sure it says staff can be on the committee as trustees. Look at this SEF stuff.....thingy. Then I'm going on my holidays! Just out of interest Rea, what does your manager do ? or don't you have one ? my chair (or any committee members) haven't even asked if there's anything they can do or even if all is ok ...not heard from any one of them since we broke up :-/ , they haven't even mentioned the AGM which should be a couple of weeks after returning :angry: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well up to about 2 hours, but I did have a gap for a cuppa, re-group and a think! Straight online, don't mess about with paper Hey well done my little black and white furry friend! :lol: I wouldn't mess about with paper either if I could get online with Ofsted - think I was whinging about that somewhere up thread :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might, according to 1 staff member at least, remind r of what she should be doing. I'm probably doing stuff based on what I wantnto do, poking my nose in a bit and being bossy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 You know you're loving it! Yes I am! (I've even added a few doddles :1b ) .... But I have to ask- do you do 'Hygge' ? ....that one's big in this house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Ok - as the return to work looms I have made a more concerted effort to attack the TD list HOWEVER does anyone else now have "nested" TD lists. These seem to occur when you tackle one job only to find that a flurry of TDs relating to the original job show their hands eg Ops plan update leads to new cleaning schedule which leads to all staff to read and sign schedule Ops plan update leads to emergency plan update etc. etc. etc. I obviously need a bullet hierarchy to manage this or perhaps just a single bullet might do it!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I look at is more about 'moments' rather than the environment as a whole. You make lots of lovely cakes, and enjoy reading to me that equates to lots of hygge-ie opportunities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure that as these extras crop up you add them to the TDL - just to give you pleasure of crossing them off :lol: Took some 'stuff' up to my setting today and thought 'ah not long now' :blink: :lol: Need to take further 'stuff' tomorrow (or sometime soon) then I might be able to see this room again!

Met up with a friend this morning and discovered a new (to me) cafe for delicious tea and cake - orange and almond! After tea I'm going to be brave and empty my drawers and wardrobe and sort it all out ready to make a 'back to school' shopping list! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsp Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I thought I was doing well. Was 'spring cleaning' memory stick. You know deleting all those useful documents and things that you download through the year and never actually do anything with. Anyway, got to policies and thought to myself I did those ALL last term. We use the plsa templates, so I thought I would just peek on the website and ........... they have updated some this month!!!!! I have downloaded and added to my new 2016 - 2017 TDL.

Hope you are enjoying the holiday - I certainly am :1b Incredibly hot here today - not that I'm complaining - love a sunnyday :lol: :lol: :lol: Love a sunnyday too!! - I am having a "staycation" and am rotating regularly on the sun lounger outside my beach hut interspersed with reading trashy novels, swimming and body boarding - am turning a lovely shade of walnut - obviously this is so that I have laid down the correct levels of vitamin D to see me through the winter!! Have taken some things up to the hall but my "office" at home is still a complete mess of paperwork especially with spawning TD lists! I have also broken out my sewing machine to make new water play overalls - the last lot have given up after 20 years of service - not bad eh what - me thinks I should patent my design. It's back to work next week to clean the hall and have new starter sessions before the autumn term begins in earnest so am going to make sure that I enjoy the remaining days of the summer break. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I can't quite believe that I suddenly find myself with a TDL having been thrust into the role of Chair for local preschool!
