Froglet Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I just need to say Aaagh! People! I can’t really explain but just sometimes the urge to give someone a slap is quite strong! Now I’ve got that out I can go back to pretending to be a nice person. Hope you’re all ok. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I sympathise completely with you Froglet! Seems to be a few people like that at the moment! Sunnyday, that’s good to hear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi all - tis Friday again! How is everyone getting on? You can tell that I am retired - house is looking very Christmassy, cards have been sent (do still have a stack to hand deliver) but honestly if I had been working none of that would have happened Have really missed doing Christmas activities with children this year - but hey I can't have it both ways Hope that everyone has a good weekend - step away from TDLs if you can x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 No chance of stepping away from the TDL, need to get it all done so can close down and switch off completely for the whole Christmas break! We have had a fun week filled with glitter and lots of singing and dancing! Still lots of coughs and colds doing the rounds here, hope they all go before Christmas! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Just got back from a Christmas lunch - eaten far too much and that was only 2 courses - I would never have managed 3, huge portions. Very busy place but in the centre of a very local village. Lovely company of friends we have known for 40+ years so very comfortable :0) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 1 week left for us Sunnyday. I think we will still be hoovering up glitter in July! I bought some microphones as are children are so into singing at the moment and the glitter coming of the microphones is insane! I seem to go home sparkling! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseketeer Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wishing you all a good run up week to end of term, personally cannot wait, so fed up with the excuses about why it’s ok their child has come in coughing, and now whooping cough has reared it’s head 😖 first ‘Xmas do’ last night and reinforced why I bloody hate don’t like secret Sana ….bah humbug! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hang in there everyone you can do it. I have one week left and am looking forward to finishing early before Christmas so that I can combine working on the school TDL and Christmas crafting before Christmas then relaxing after. A colleague I work closely with is almost certainly positive - hoping for PCR results back today which has me filled with dread in case I get contacted to isolate and it means I can’t do family Christmas. I know that’s borrowing trouble so I’m also trying not to think about it! This weekend is an epic TDL plus finishing Christmas presents for people at school - I’m making a combination of crochet robins, jars of homemade fudge, cheese biscuits and general goodies. I like to make sure that all the behind the scenes people (office, kitchen, site manager) know they’re appreciated but this year I’m also doing things for my team as they’ve had such a hard term. It’s going to be a busy weekend! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Two days left for us now. Just Monday morning, then party day Tuesday followed by our staff meal. I survived my Butlin's week, whilst I didn't hate it - I don't think I'll rush back! 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first time, and whilst I can see that some people may love it, it wasn't really for me. My almost 2 year old has developed such a love of horses (from her grandpa- certainly not her mother 😂) and the sheer delight watching her with the with the fairground carousel ride, and the little carved wooden horses there did make the trip worthwhile though. She even managed to persuade the ride controller turn a blind-eye to her 2cm height restriction and let her go with an adult - when she got of her even said it had made his day watching how happy she was 😊 Grandpa's been told he's paying for riding lessons! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Please can someone send me some spare energy? I have been awake since 4.30am but am so sleepy and I have loads left to do. Plus if anyone feels like feeding me that would be very welcome - I have no idea what to cook! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I helped out for a couple of terms, but my heart wasn’t in it as I wanted to be retired and free to be out and about with Zebedee! Oh yes, I remember that! I have been quite careful about getting myself sucked into anything - I am now part of the church cleaning team, but to be honest that's quite enjoyable. I had thought that I might like to volunteer at the school, but I won't be doing anything like that in 'Covid times'. I am actually quite happy, for now, just pottering about, but knowing me that won't last, we will see, it's an absolute bugger that Covid has put paid to lots of things that I thought I might be doing, but my current mantra is 'it is what it is'... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Changing the subject totally, does anyone know of anywhere that’s really good for Mother of the Bride dresses? Googling it is showing loads of things, but now that Dennebums is no more, I don’t know where to start!! 😱😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
