If you’ve got a fan, set up a cooling tent. Open up a king size quilt cover and put a couple of chairs in to hold the hole open, put a fan at the hole end and it will open up like a hot air balloon and be deliciously cool inside, hopefully you can persuade the dog inside.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭. Seeing you in a whole new light!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Zebedee’s 6th chemo went well yesterday - he is gently glowing as normal for the next day. I’ve made him a batch of his favourite carrot cake as buns, so he can enjoy them before his sense of taste goes. Buns are easier as I can bung them in the freezer and just get out and frost what we need. Obviously he would prefer a good slice of cake, but with all the steroids we are keeping an eye on the scales. He will probably have 2 buns today, which will equate to a good slice of cake! 🤣🤣🤭. They are muffin sized. We took some to the nurses yesterday - we always take them something when he goes, but no nuts in theirs of course. No nuts allowed in hospital.

Will you still get whatever it is? Do you know what it is?

Whoops! 🤭. It is a bit funny though. Someone should have slipped you the wink.

Have you spotted the trees popping up on the forum?

So I’ll be 15 years next month, apparently. Will my apples go red? -

Yes I’d spotted them earlier, but thanks for the explanation - I was wondering what each stage looked like x -

Looking forward to seeing that in the ‘own makes’ thread!

Ugh. I really feel for you! My staff had to be incredibly flexible in that respect. One year in the early days I only had 3 children at the start of the September term, with more joining as we moved towards the half term and (C word) I had one member of staff with me, and I didn’t take a wage until January. I can remember being annoyed that a childminder could have looked after 3 on their own, in their own home, whereas the rules demanded there should be two of us.

I believe that Cumbria is pretty hot! They’ll not be knowing what to do with themselves! 🤣🤣🤭

Oh yes, there is that ………. But on balance, most of it went on outdoors 🤣🤭

That was absolutely it! One of my staff had a SEND key child that she didn’t think was making any progress at all so I showed her this method and she was delighted and amazed! By using the scale she were able to identify where the child was mainly focussed and take an experience into that activity, and watch how the child interacted and extended their own learning.

I kept one going for several years until my daughter borrowed it for some decoration at work and it promptly died 🤭. awe and wonder has to be a wasp nest. Absolutely incredible that the chomp away on my wood fence and then spit that gunk out to create something mind blowing!
-
I used to love the last term of the year! It somehow didn’t seem as stressful even though there was a lot to cram in! I think it was because the children were outside more and staff seemed that much more relaxed.
-
Fabulous! Yes it’s Friday again! Whoop whoop!
-
Fabulous! Could have done with that when I was doing my OU and had to research the scale for myself! I used it a great deal after that, and taught my staff. We found it helped hugely with observations and Mrs O was really impressed as she’d not come across it herself!
-
Oh how fabulous! You really did get to know them then! I was thinking as I read this that I wouldn’t know the women I trained with at all, never mind remembering any names!
-
Also got all Zebedee’s bedding on the line so that’s all lovely and fresh for him. Smells fabulous. Lovely to hear an ice cream van going round today. Summer is on its way! (Although I’m stuck with ‘daisy, daisy, give me your answer do’ in my head )
-
Keeping everything crossed but the figures yesterday didn’t look promising 😳
-
Zebedee having chemo 5. We are hoping 6 will be sufficient of the promised 6-10 cycles. Lovely day in York tho!

I thought you were the ‘sewer-upper’

Busy sewing gift bags at the moment. Knitting needles only being used to poke corners. But I’m using my ‘knitting Nancy’ to make the cords, so technically still knitting 🤣🤭

Thank you. We’ve been to Filey for fish and chips and a gentle walk on the beach. X
