Have just had a text from her - she is and I quote 'still feeling rough, but result was negative' Phew! I hadn't realised that I was wearing my shoulders up by my ears until I physically relaxed 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Sunnyday I am now feeling guilty at how much you have got done today! I’m struggling with planning. Nothing is straightforward at the moment plus now we have to do remote learning plans. I have a couple of governor meetings to prep for too, Children in Need and SEN reviews. I usually try to keep Sunday work free but I think I I’m going to give up on that plan tonight - am just tired right now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Here we are then another Friday - I have no idea where this week has gone I am absolutely 'cream-crackered' - have a fairly lengthy TDL but as the weekends weather forecast is dire I won't feel so bad about starting it tomorrow Hope the weekend is kind to all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 A good week here, like you am feeling quite tired but am really enjoying work again, something seems to have clicked and it’s all good! Happy weekend all, hope you are all safe and well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Another tired one here. Although we have become a completely non parkway until the 2nd Dec 😁 (although I have read they are reviewing the 'educational groups' guidance next week 🙀...... is it really bad that I want them to keep the scouts closed 😂) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Tired in Derbyshire too! I think it's just all the extra thinking that needs to go on at the moment. I have also had tons of governors work to do this week. I am hoping to be able to stay awake enough to get loads of school work done today then have a cosy evening with my crochet hook and maybe a film if I can decide what to watch. Then tomorrow I'm intending to do the cleaning and have a think about how to manage the season which must not be named. I know my niblings won't be able to do many of their usual seasonal activities for visits to different people and places and wanted to try and think of some surprise treats for them instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Phew! Think my pre-school TDL is completed Now to think about my 'domestic TDL' - lots to be done there Tomorrow I hope to 'put my feet up' and recharge for next week - famous last words I expect 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Ok everyone, I'm going to say it ..... Christmas! - there, it's out! 🌲🎅 We finish on the 11th Dec so we actually only have four weeks left- which as we all know will fly past. How are people planning on handling this year? We will not be having our concert whatever the guidance might be by then, as I'm not confident it will be that much different from now. Usually we have a very short concert with the children that will be leaving in the summer, then all children come in for party etc. Looking for ideas on how we can cover this? Possibly filming it? Our usual Father Christmas is not able to do it this year so we need a replacement. We have worked out we can put him in the scout office (which we turn into a fully on grotto) and the children can see from a safe distance, and staff will hand out gifts etc. We feel this is well covered as long as we can find someone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 They sound like good preps Louby loo - I think my granddaughters' school is filming their show at primary school - I suspect that somehow we will have to pay to "unlock" it on the website somehow, but presumably Tapestry users could just put the video on for all to see?

zigzag Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I cannot believe you used the C word! 😩 I think Eric the elf will be leaving the children’s presents this year. After not allowing visitors into the setting for the last six months I don’t really think it’s appropriate to bring in Father Christmas. Also don’t think he would come in anyway to be honest! I think we will be having a party on the Wednesday morning when all children are in and then the Friday will be a normal session. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 suggested to my hubby he might be FC this year (as he's in my bubble and my daughters!) he was not impressed !😂 I have a plan to attach helium balloons to their gifts and spread them across the garden...allowing parents to come in to the bottom of the garden to collect their little one and then go home! reckon i could spin a story around FC dropping them on the way past! might even manage to borrow the snow machine! We are planning to film the nativity! Otherwise the usual general chaos and hype! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's just brazen that louby 🤣 Very low key on the old yuletide front for us - have already let parents know (in one of my frequent updates) - so no entertainer and no Father Christmas - however, I have it on good authority that FC will be leaving a sack filled with presents for the children at my house this year - we will have some sort of 'party' not sure what yet and I will distribute the pressies That's always supposing we actually make it through to end of term fingers crossed on that one - oh and we finish Friday 18th - no early dart for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our usual FC is a local actor (think Dr's/The Bill - we're not talking Hollywood 🤣). We're hoping for someone within our work bubble will volunteer. If we can't find one we will have a rethink, however I really do want to try-we have a sibling that started with us this year and all she has gone on about since day one is whether or not Father Christmas is in the building!!! Mum did warn us that this is all she talks about at home too and she couldn't wait to start with us because of FC. We're working on filming the concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(should add the house wasn't actually on the market). As a result years later we are both excellent at 20 min tidy-upers 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
