    I have written three children's adventure books, and I enjoy reading. Now I'm retired I have plenty of time to experiment with gluten free recipes, as my husband and I are both coeliac. I spend a lot of time in the garden and also volunteer for 'Mind' in one of their charity shops.

  1. Erm, because to get into government you actually have to be clueless about your given area 🤭
  2. That sounds a good idea if it’s do-able. We operated 9-3 and charged if children stayed for lunch time. This meant we had some children staying all day and others for morning and lunch and different children for lunch and afternoon. Is this not allowed under the new funding?
  3. Ah, the old TDL, bane of our lives
  4. Well I’ve treated myself to a Brother sewing machine and I’m looking forward to spending some time with it! So now I just need to sell my two vintage Bernina’s. Oh and my bike, as it doesn’t get used - might as well get rid. I’m thinking start of the school holidays could be a good time to sell it.
  5. It was for our local dentists who missed out as most scrubs went to hospitals. Private dentist is still in huge debt as he had to remortgage to get all the extra filtration equipment and apparatus he needed as well as paying full staff with only one or two actually working. He’s wanting to sell the practice and retire, but because of the remortgaging he’ll walk into retirement with hardly anything to show for it. So sad.
  6. I’m thinking of getting the sewing machine out of the attic. It’s not seen much action since scrubs and mask making - do you remember those times? Anyone else sewing scrubs?
  7. I loved those books! But I seem to be one of the few who hated the Beatrix Potter ones! Yuk.
  8. Term times? What are those then? 🤭🤭🤣 half way scan - very exciting. Do they know gender?
  9. Oh that’s wretched news, Sunnyday. I’ve had my tiny girl to the vet again this week with her itchies and lack of appetite. She did mention euthanasia if I thought her quality of life was impacted 😳😳. Hugs to you and the family, will there be another in their future? Are they going round rescue places to test the waters? Ugh, shingles, soooooo painful. I hope you’re getting all the meds and they’re helping! Scottish granddaughter breaks up for the summer in just a couple of weeks, but they’re back in August of course. I remember working those hours all too well! The 10.30 at night computer switch offs and weekend admin. It felt like I was going into work for a rest sometimes! And yes, the rest of the staff definitely thought there were admin fairies.
  10. I do hope you ask very loudly where the ‘tapestry’ is, and point out that the display piece is just an embroidery 🤣🤣🤣🤭
  11. Sounds delicious!
  12. Thank you all! My son came down from Fife, and my daughter up from York, and my brother and sister-in-law came from Leeds and we had a lovely day at Filey.
  13. That’s really lovely news! Are you ‘allowed’ to do traditional colours? I had to do orange and green 🤢
  14. Sounds perfect. I wonder if we were in York at the same time?! With the help of a very good friend, I’ve been decorating the living room - something that’s seriously needed it for a few years, but Mike wouldn’t have coped with the upheaval of it all. I’m going slowly as I don’t want to feel I’m eradicating him from this space, but it will look very different and calm when it’s finished.
  15. Wishing you all a really happy Easter. Xx
