zigzag Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 First negative test today. I cannot wait for human contact! I just need a hug from my husband and to get to see Mum and Dad. Amazingly my husband and son who live in the same house have not caught it. 5 Quote
Panders Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Hey zigzag that's the best news. How strange this virus is. Quote

They may have had it without symptoms of course. I understand that that’s possible. on another note - has anyone found out what the leaves and rocket badges are with our pictures? Quote

That's such good news zigzag - what day is it for you today (and yes I know it's Friday!) did you isolate yourself from your husband son? Quote

sunnyday Posted March 25, 2022 Author Posted March 25, 2022 Here we are then another Friday - are you all breaking up next week? It is a very special day in the sunnyday household - it is our Golden wedding anniversary! 50 years, 50 years my goodness how have we managed that?! We were so young - I was seventeen and Mr S was nineteen - what madness is that! Seriously never thought that we would reach this milestone, not because of any doubts about our love and commitment, but I didn't think that my wonderful Mr S would make it this far with his very fragile health state, I am and always will be so very grateful to the team at the Royal Brompton who have provided such wonderful care for him... No party - which we would have had in 'normal circumstances' - but hopefully a family celebration this evening with our sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren - if all test negative today - keep everything crossed for us please! Anyway, enough of the slushy stuff (!) hope that the weekend is kind to all x 4 Quote
Panders Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Told you he was a keeper! Congratulations to you both. Seventeen and nineteen - babies still by today's standards, you have been a "grown up" for a long time as my daughter-in-law tells me often. Edited March 25, 2022 by Panders 1 Quote

Cait Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Oh that’s fabulous news! My phone didn’t remind me! So sorry! Huge congratulations to you both, we are a decade behind you, as you know, but, like you, I’m just so, so pleased to have made this milestone, and I hope and pray that Zebedee is still with us to enjoy our 50th! I hope your evening is fantastic and you’re able to feel that things are ‘normal’ for a few hours xxxxx 3 Quote

purplewednesday1 Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Hello 'not at all old' friends ... I've just put a post in the research area and I know some of you lovelies might be able to help me :) Since leaving FSF I'm busy studying, working for FSF on the APPG in Westminster, running my nursery and also doing my Doctorate in the PVI sector (hence the research request!) - if you are able to help, or know someone who can .... well, you know the rest! Thank you Rebecca x 2 Quote

sunnyday Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 Hello - tis Friday again! Not only is it Friday it is 1st April - whoa how did that happen?! We woke up to a 'winter wonderland' here this morning - all very pretty... Are you all breaking up today - our schools are here, but I think our half-term break was earlier than some, so not sure really There was a gentle knock at our door on Tuesday evening - our beautiful eldest granddaughter is home for Easter, lovely surprise we thought she wouldn't be home until next week - she is such a lovely, kind and thoughtful girl, she had 'tested' before coming here to keep her granddad safe Knit and Natter was great fun yesterday, we are getting to the stage where we can begin to join the squares for our first blanket - I have to get on with edging them, have managed 168 so far - so another 60 or so to go Hope the weekend is kind to all x 1 Quote
Panders Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Ah we had a very light flurry yesterday afternoon, but nothing as yet today, Quite chilly though. 8 year old granddaughter has chicken pox, quite badly bless her and as all the children were here at the weekend, I suppose it could have been a super spreader event! Goodness, as I type the sleet has started😂 Quote

louby loo Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Panders - hope you granddaughter recover soon. We have a mix of sunny periods followed by snow - proper Aprils Fool's weather! We finished today- but have used one week of Summer funding to cover this week, and will finish a week early in the summer. 😁 1 Quote
zigzag Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 We have one more week, hoping we might actually get a full house again next week. Can’t remember the last time this happened, what with Covid and then a D&V bug doing the rounds. Good job we have a two week circuit breaker very soon! Beautiful sunshine here, just a couple of flakes of snow/sleet this morning but it had finished before it had started. Buts it’s so chilly 🥶 Hope everyone is well and has a lovely weekend. 1 Quote
Mouseketeer Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Hi all, have any you decided how you’re playing the new Covid guidance regards staff who are pos/suspected pos, are you asking them to stay off for the 5 ‘try to avoid’ days? Will this be on full pay? what if they say no? Tbh no one will be paying around £70 to find out via PCR and no one is supposed to be LFD testing so I’m thinking no one will know for sure so just follow SSP procedures 🤷♀️ Quote

Sounds like a plan 👍 we have another week to go and our first staff member positive this week, perfectly ok but asked her to stay off until I’d formulated a plan and I still haven’t 🙈 Quote

We have signed up with noodle now for online training so that should cover a fair few hours. If you have another week to go- how many weeks do you have in your summer term, and when do you finish? We have already done one week of our summer term as we could have had three weeks off. (We did go back early after Christmas though) Quote
