sunnyday Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Not sure that I can still be a member of the 'hooky gang' - I have been hard at it all day - lots crossed of the old TDL The text message sent out from our primary school yesterday was so funny - you could hear the 'whatevs', 'am I bovvered' hope parents were as amused as I was! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 All the snow gone from here and major flooding in nearby villages. My son got a Coastguard call out to the next village that was flooded, just so happened it’s where he works and it’s completly flooded out, amazingly his van which he had to leave down there in the snow was surrounded by flood water on all sides but is still ok! And the boats that were swept off the beach and into the sides of houses and on top of cars missed it as well. That’s enough weather now, please can we have some dry and calm conditions! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 crumbs - this hasn't reached BBC news yet! Snowing again here this afternoon, about 5cms i think. As you say, zigzag, enough now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finleysmaid Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 oh dear zigzag i hope everyone's alright . Well i'm home! lovely having the evening off...although I've spent half of it in Sainsbugs! we had 14 in this morning and 11 this afternoon ...although one of these was an ex-pupil who's mum was stuck for childcare! it was lovely to see him and hear him as he is a reluctant speaker ...couldn't keep him quiet for much of the day Made soda bread with the children this morning and had snow play....then popcorn and movie this afternoon! (only room on the broom ...very special treat) perhaps we should have renamed it room on the BRRRRRooommmm! Lovely day ...well most of it, my little one with possible ADHD/ODD was in a particularly 'argumentative' mood Before cooking this morning i had called the children to me and was having a chat about washing hands...which he was listening to ...from a distance! He shouted that he was NOT going to wash his hands...to which i said "oh well you can't do cooking then" ...so he decided to do it...then he refused to use the hand basin in the middle because it wasn't next to the BLUE soap dispenser....then he had a moan because he was next to HIM ( a child he 'isn't friends with!) then i said he wasn't going to be able to make the bread if he didn't stand there....then he.....ETC ETC ETC AAAARRRRRGGGGG! So frustrating at times but at least i don't have to take him home...his poor Mum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshaD Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 We stayed open all this week. I had told team at staff meeting that this was my intention and anyone not in wouldn’t be getting paid! Had one member of staff who didn’t come in because her children’s schools were closed. She did a half day Friday. All lot of families with siblings off didn’t come but on the whole turn out wasn’t too bad. We cancelled our Gruffalo drama workshop for book day but wish we’d gone ahead had quite a few turn up all dressed up. Rebecca don’t you find once something like that happens with the hair it’s always ‘that child’ that everything goes wrong with! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Well done MarshaD and team! Rapid thaw going on here - I am one happy bunny! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsp Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 We had a bit more snow last night but definitely in thaw mode now! Unfortunately there are some flood warnings on the coast with various flood gates closed. Roll on Spring I say!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Phew! We have been very, very lucky today - water is off in our neighbouring village - pre-school and school closed - water pressure low for us but we had water yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 All back to normal here, snow gone, storm Emma moved on after leaving a trail of destruction and back to rain again. We did forest school this morning and it was a mud bath, it was ridiculous.🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 We were ok, but in next town they have been without water over the weekend I heard. One of our families moved house last Thursday, midst all of the snow, only to have no water over the weekend- 4 children, 2 under 4. Mum's a coper though. Bird feeder totally empty, the daffs and snowdrops survived, no leaks at the hall, so quite happy for once! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well I spoke too soon about the water situation - went off at 11am - we carried on and managed OK - not open tomorrow will hope that is back on by Thursday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Won't know until I get there this morning, so fingers crossed please - the 'water station' has been set up in our car park, so I am not too worried, we might not have running water but we will have easy access to bottles, so my intention is to open, my parents endured three snow closure days last week (completely unavoidable), I am not prepared to close again! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playgroup1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Quote Heavy snow fall in Leeds this morning caused chaos for the second time. We still opened and magnificent staff walked in.
