20 years for me …😃

I must have had a sixth sense. I hardly ever pop in now, but thought I would tonight. I echo all that has been said about Catma. One of the wise, that we have all listened to over the years. I wish you well with your writing and hope to see you in print soon.

I have taken to the stage and belong to the Elders Company at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. We Early Years practitioners are a gifted lot, with many transferable skills. Retirement can be great!!!

Thank you. I pop in now and again to see how you all are.

A bit late but well done everyone. I have had some really happy times on here and made wonderful friends.  I feel very proud to have been involved in those early days,  and to gave contributed to evolving good practise in the Early Years,  

( 72 today!)

I hope thwt you are having a good day.

From a really creaking person to all you amazing FSFers. I hope that you have all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year. I pop in now and again to see how you are all doing. You have the best jobs in the world, even if you arenot always appreciated as you should be. TImes are hard, but I read so much love and care for your children, so that doesn't change. Keep it up chaps as you make a positive difference to children and families. xxx

It isn't just small children who are in danger. The elderly can become confused and think that they are pills. This happened to my 98 year old Father who was changing his hearing-aid batteries and swallowed them instead. Fortunately I arrived ar that moment and realised what he had done and rang the hospital, which sent an ambulance. We managed to wash them through his body with fizzy drinks, but it was a terrilbe experience for him and involved peroidic x-rays to chek on progress and an overnight stay.

This is an emotional time for so many people but remembering the happy and sad times keeps those we love close to us, and alive in our hearts. Wishiing you all a good Christmas.

Well if it works then don't knock it. However it is 10 years this December since I retired and it was around a good few years before then.

.

With you in spirit today Helen, Steve and Jamie. Love and hugs.

You will be in our thoughts and prayers and especially so this Friday when you celebrate the life of your gorgeous daughter. Lots of love and hugs to you all.

Are we now using the word less rather than fewer? This is always a difficult one I know, but in this context I would use the word fewer. Fewer is used for nouns you can count and less for larger and/or uncountable quantities.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

I hope you had a fantastic day.

Nothing but real for me...oh the smell!

What sort of car so you drive?

I have become a Friends Champion after my experiences with my Mother and hope loads of people sign

up to become friends. ???

Wonderful! So now I am going to hijack this thread just to say please please please become a Dementia Friend and attend an awareness session to help understand dementia, and how to help others live well with dementia. Fascinating stuff.

If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

Yes i think not stealing is probably the one to pick and this can turn into something sbout sharing with others.

If you look up the definition of malleable it is something that can be shaped, stretched or or changed by pressure and without breaking or cracking. i wouldn't consider ice cubes to be a malleable material by that definition.
