Retired now - but no, I always kept holiday pay separate
-
Your secret's safe with us 🤣
-
Oooh I had a little boy like that in my last year of working - he was absolutely fascinating - he would label his own drawings, everything spelled accurately
-
Long may that last for both of you! Do you not have LA audits?
-
I can't add anything remotely useful - but I am smiling, thinking about that task of working out term dates, had to be very accurate in my corner of the world as the LA would check!
-
Oh your poor granddaughter - hope she soon feels much better

Hello - tis Friday again! Not only is it Friday it is 1st April - whoa how did that happen?! We woke up to a 'winter wonderland' here this morning - all very pretty... Are you all breaking up today - our schools are here, but I think our half-term break was earlier than some, so not sure really There was a gentle knock at our door on Tuesday evening - our beautiful eldest granddaughter is home for Easter, lovely surprise we thought she wouldn't be home until next week - she is such a lovely, kind and thoughtful girl, she had 'tested' before coming here to keep her granddad safe Knit and Natter was great fun yesterday, we are getting to the stage where we can begin to join the squares for our first blanket - I have to get on with edging them, have managed 168 so far - so another 60 or so to go Hope the weekend is kind to all x
-
I did that so many times, however I did pay myself back pay later in the year...
-
Thanks all - we are just home - we had a lovely evening
-
Thank you both x My house is now looking like a florists - have had three deliveries in the last hour - how lovely!
-
Here we are then another Friday - are you all breaking up next week? It is a very special day in the sunnyday household - it is our Golden wedding anniversary! 50 years, 50 years my goodness how have we managed that?! We were so young - I was seventeen and Mr S was nineteen - what madness is that! Seriously never thought that we would reach this milestone, not because of any doubts about our love and commitment, but I didn't think that my wonderful Mr S would make it this far with his very fragile health state, I am and always will be so very grateful to the team at the Royal Brompton who have provided such wonderful care for him... No party - which we would have had in 'normal circumstances' - but hopefully a family celebration this evening with our sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren - if all test negative today - keep everything crossed for us please! Anyway, enough of the slushy stuff (!) hope that the weekend is kind to all x

I think that it signifies/changes with number of posts (but I could be wrong, I often am) - so those of us that have an awful lot to say for ourselves have leaves 😂
-
That's such good news zigzag - what day is it for you today (and yes I know it's Friday!) did you isolate yourself from your husband son?
-
Such a useful resource -
Oh dear goodness - I am not safe to be let out on my own - just went to pick up a repeat prescription for my dear old MIL - conversation went like this Me: Repeat prescription for (MIL's name) please Receptionist: Was it ordered in February? Me: February, no not at all, my husband ordered it last month... 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ My excuse is that it is such a lovely day I thought it was summer 🤣
-
You poor, poor thing - sending lots of healing vibes your way xxx
-
How are you doing dear zigzag?
-
Using DK cast on 22 stitches and knit to 4.5 inches on size 4 needles - some of the most talented have used all sorts of fancy stitches - lots of different colours which was why I took it upon myself to edge the squares with white crochet (white because I had loads knocking about) that should bring it altogether and make it easier to join up - well that's the plan!
-
Me personally - no idea - lots 🤣 The group 103 - excellent effort I think!
-
Oh young Froglet - a very mixed update there... I do hope that your littlest niece is okay and that your work 'stuff' calms down a bit for you Hmmm - numberle - think I had better steer clear of that!😂 Don't know why I struggled so much with the blanket calculations - honestly, area is primary school maths - all of the squares are decorating my dining room table at the moment, need to leave them there to focus my mind and to constantly remind me that I have boldly stated "oh yes, I can do the borders, that's no problem at all" 🤦♀️😂 Loving the skill mix within our newly formed Knit and Natter - some people are super-skilled, some like me can cope with the basics, some have never knitted anything and it has been great to teach them to cast on, knit just garter stitch and to cast off and best of all we have a lady who suffered a stroke two years ago and was convinced that she wouldn't be able to knit now - guess what - she can!
-
🤣 No diagrams - he fiddled about with the calculator on his phone - said "remember 30.25" - fiddled about a bit more - said "what number did I say" and then came up with his answer! 🤣
-
Aha! Mr S says '238' 🙃
-
Yes it was - I don't know why I am struggling with this so much...my number was 224 One of the ladies has said that she will join them up (hooray I didn't want to do that bit!) - so I am edging each one in white which should make that a much easier and neater job - she rang me last night and said "I think we need to lay all the squares out next week and agree how we all want them to look" - I said "oh yes, of course, whatever you think" - but I was actually thinking 'we are a long way off that stage'... I will get Mr S on this number problem when he returns from fishing! Just counted the squares - we have 103 so far - which is pretty good going I reckon!
-
Flippin' heck - I hope that's a joke!!! I have undertaken the task of adding a crotchet border to each square 🤦♀️ so have allowed that in the measurement...
