I, as always, planned to do lots of things with that glorious six weeks off and, as ever, I have managed about half of those things!  Actually I am not bothered at all, I have enjoyed some lovely time with those two youngest grandchildren, they will be this tiny for such a very short amount of time, like louby I have read a lot of books and I have spent even more time doing s*d all 

We are going out this afternoon/evening to celebrate my DIL's gran's 90th birthday - she is a very special lady, still full of life, an inspiration really 

Have a lovely day xxx

Is that not cheating?😉

No!   ......it's the way forward 

[Panders]

not cheating in the "journaling" world.   It's quite often used in their listing, even has it's own little symbol to put beside your list to show you are carrying that item forward  a bullet point with a pointy bracket shape facing forward, have used it many times

Me too!  Well, my coffee with a friend got cancelled this morning so I went to Hobbycraft instead.  I bought 3 balls of wool and a crochet hook (was borrowing mum's before) and have already crocheted one hexagon.  I can report that I called into a large office supply store at the same place and... bought nothing!!  Am about to brave Ikea to try and get some picture frames and then this evening I'm planning to go and see Christopher Robin!

Hi all, I have been checking in on you all, it’s not been the best holiday but really have to get back on it, I don’t think there’s anything major (new legislation or a whole new framework I should be sorting is there?) I best get on to the TDL today, thankfully not back to till the 10th (is anyone else back that late?) :-)

Mousie? Are you OK?

No new framework to worry about...…..or if there is no one told me about it

Lovely weather here today - have been busy in my garden 

Bought some cyclamen whilst I was out and about earlier - whenever I see cyclamen it reminds me of an occasion a few years back when Mr S and I were in a huge garden centre - Mr S is usually quietly spoken but decided to call out to me from a different aisle......

"Was it chlamydia you wanted love, they're over here"

Oh that’s classic!  Reminds me of the time, years ago when Ofsted were in and a child was making an octopus and I said how many testicles does it have🤗 obviously I meant tentacles. Luckily it was not overheard😵

I remember teaching a year 4 PE lesson (back in the olden days) and we were playing badminton. One chap came to me with the immortal line 'Ere Miss, you got one of them cuttlefish? Took me a moment to realise he meant shuttlecock 

[Mouseketeer]

Very funny :-D 

I was in a supermarket many years ago with my sis-in-law and 4yr old niece and the niece is proudly holding aloft a box of tampons shouting down the aisle “mummy do you need these for your poorly bottom”? .....Mummy is nowhere to be seen and I’m left trying to explain to all eyes turned on me that “she isn’t mine, really she isn’t, I’m not mummy” :-O 

[sunnyday]

I have that gorgeous baby boy for the day - he is fast asleep now - good lad  he arrived complete with a written schedule  son said "you will need this mum as you have never looked after a baby before"  but, to be fair to my DIL - I would have been thinking hmm should he be asleep now, is it water or milk with his lunch...….

Anyway we are currently 'ahead of schedule' 

[Panders]

Good to know you are continuing in your usual  efficient way!

Nana's house = Nana's rules  as long as he is bathed and asleep in his pjs when they come for him (around 10pm) we should be okay!

Laughing so loud at that one that I think I might have woken Zebedee!  😂😂😂

Well that’s it, all over for another year and back to it tomorrow.  Can’t wait to see the children and begin to find our way with the smaller group that we have.  Good luck to anyone back to it tomorrow🙂

[Panders]

good luck zigzag, don't think some of ours are back until next week.  Does your funding start tomorrow?

[Panders]

I am tussling with my coffee machine.  It was a gift a couple of years ago, but have never really got to grips with the darn thing.
