Great news 😊 A few more of my staff have now got themselves booked in. Unbelievable how relieved I am that they're getting done. 2 Quote
louby loo Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Well, we had our almost full house in this morning - we do still have a few that are waiting until after Easter. The 7 we've had throughout - seemed to mainly ignore the returners and were very focused on activities all morning ..... the returners were running around screaming like banshees!!! 😳😳 2 Quote
Panders Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Not quite business as usual then Louby Loo, but sure you'll get them up to speed in the next couple of weeks - just in time for their Easter Break 😂 Quote

Have managed to book mine for Thurs after work, a bit of a trek but pleased to have been able to book it, if a little guilty that the rest of my team won’t get theirs for a while ...even though they’ve been urging me to book it 😕 2 Quote

It's strange though, I got mine 10ms drive, and she tried to book hers an hour or so later and had to go 45min drive. Quote

Andy's still miffed that he hasn't got his second date yet, his was done via the Dr's surgery. Quote

Really sad to find that my deputy has not been 'done' - she is 61, she reckons there are just not any appointments available at the MVS Quote

zigzag Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 I have just managed to book for my husband. We are going to a centre about 18 miles away. Our doctors surgery is quite slow so it seems sensible to go further afield and get the jab quicker. Still keeping my fingers crossed they get to the over 45s soon! 2 Quote

louby loo Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Well it's only Wednesday and I've had enough already!! 🤣 Two children have come down with a mysterious rash.😳 Both have seen the Dr's and they have been confirmed as an allergy/hives rash. One has only just returned -so mum just assumed it may possibly be our cleaning products .... however they other has been with us throughout. Luckily both parents are on the ball, and are chasing it up- but it's really weird. Sunnyday how did your first day back go? Quote

I guess when they look it isn't far from Southampton as the crow flies 😆 Then offered one local to me - only 5 miles away which I had Saturday. 2 1 Quote

Mouseketeer Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I don’t know about anyone else but is it really only Wednesday done? the extra few back this week have really changed the dynamics of the setting ...they are really loud, not listening to anything you ask them to do or not do, independence is zilch, we already have a few loud/challenging children but these later ones back in the mix have caused it to escalate .....yesterday just seemed to be spent on crowd control, I hope this is only short term 🤦♀️ 1 Quote
Cait Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Ugh. It was to be expected I suppose - plus high winds always seem to affect them. I hope today is less challenging. Quote
