All I can say is “thank crunchie it’s not only Friday its half term as well”. I have been feeling a bit at the end of my tether this week, so it’s done at the right time! Happy half term break to those that have it.

Before Covid we used to offer a selection of fruit and a breadstick/cracker. This stopped at the heigh of the pandemic and we haven’t gone back to it. We found it took a staff member away just to oversee snack. We now offer a plain biscuit/cracker/breadstick and a drink and it’s working really well. It’s less time consuming, we choose to have it as cafe style or all together depending on the morning. I understand what you are saying that it’s only 3 hours but we do find that most of our children are ready for a snack at about 10:30. You just never know what time the child got up and had breakfast or even if they did have breakfast at all.

I also like his quote “life is what happens to you whilst you are busy making other plans” It’s very true as well. The older I get the more I am realising that and trying to live in the moment more.

Well for some reason I am utterly exhausted and really struggling physically. Am hoping it’s just the remnants of the cold that still havent managed to shake completely but am really fed up of feeling like this. Been a good week at school, our girls this year are fab and it’s the boys that are harder work! Which is unusual. It’s all a work in progress! Have a good weekend all.

I cannot believe it’s October already! All ok down here. “Gate wars” has calmed down! All four of us staff have been struck down with this awful cough and cold this week. It’s very unpleasant and has made us all feel terrible and we are quite a hardy bunch usually. Think we are through the worst now. It was so bad that I felt sure we all had Covid! My husband was working in Devon this week and struggled to get fuel on Monday but I think things are calming down here now, my Mum got some quite easily yesterday. Thank goodness this didn’t happen in the height of the summer season with all the tourists in Cornwall as we would not have stood a chance at getting fuel then! Have a lovely weekend all.

When did common sense and a sense of personal responsibility disappear? Sometimes I just want to find a corner and sit and rock in it!

Oh gosh, a simple message from me reminding parents to shut the gate as it was left open at lunchtime has kicked off gate wars! When a parent suggested a shut the gate sign might help, I ever so politely asked do parents really need a sign to remind them to shut the gate that leads onto a busy road to keep their children safe!! Well clearly they do, might start offering to wipe the parents bottoms for them on the way out as well!

I need some polite but ever so slightly tongue in cheek slogans reminding parents to shut the gate!! Ideas please…..

That was good timing then! I was trying to explain to a parent who was being rather demanding about a afternoon space for their two year old the other day about the magic three turning point. I’m not sure she believed me that that can make all the difference! I hope the coming week is better for you and you stay safe xx

Oh Louby my heart goes out to you. I hope everyone is recovering and has not been too poorly. Hope you have a restful weekend. Stay safe. Xx

Well I’m on the other side and am very envious of your gentle pace of life!
