Yes, I have my mums manual Singer
-
When it's finished It will be single bed size I think that's what I'm aiming for
-
I have unearthed a crotchet hook and have embarked on a blanket for an organisation called 'Knit for Peace' - it is just rows of treble crotchet, base colour is grey and then every other row is a bright colour - I had forgotten just how 'addictive' crotchet is and like you, I needed a 'mindless' effort, I'm not up for following a pattern just now

Changes to EYFS pre school and Reception please
sunnyday replied to waveawand's topic in Staff Lounge
That is so frustrating - I have to say that however many times we read/hear 'this will mean less paperwork' or 'no need for this, that or the other to be written' it was never my experience when Ofsted came knocking -
Oh my actual goodness 🤦♀️ ...and oh my actual goodness 🤦♀️ I miss so much about pre-school but not that sort of cr*p, it honestly requires the patience of a saint at times
-
Oh that's so difficult...
-
That's good to hear louby, I'm pleased for you Have just seen DIL - now Covid in years 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 - that only leaves Reception and Y2 unaffected - youngest granddaughter is Y2 - roll on half-term...
-
Tis Friday! How is everyone? Lots of Covid in our lovely primary school again - Yr 6 is back in a 'bubble' situation - 17/30 in that year group are off with C-19...what an awful time they are having, I feel for them Have discovered that there is someone who takes even longer than me to write a report 🤦♀️🤣 Have the best weekend x
-
Oh no fm - grrrr - I did once say to a prospective parent who was giving me grief via email(s) because she wanted her child to start at an younger age than was my policy 'I am going to call an end to this now, if your daughter comes to me, it is extremely important that we have a good relationship' - it worked!
-
Oh no - we're not going back to Cait's webbed feet are we 🤦♀️🤣
-
Cucumbers, toms, courgettes, peppers (not going to grow carrots this year - we have two beautiful visiting cats, I love seeing them, but I don't want them to 'poo' in my carrot trugs 🤦♀️) - still need to get seed potatoes... Rudbeckia, Petunias, Marigolds, Asters, Nasturtium, Zinnia, Carnations, Nemesia, Sunflowers, Cosmos Hmm - think that will be enough to be getting on with 😂
-
We have been 'out' - whoop! Seed buying - decided that we would do this before Thursday when the 'rules' change, I know that we can continue to wear masks but that is not what is needed to keep Mr S safe really...anyway we thoroughly enjoyed our little outing!
-
I'm sending the biggest of virtual hugs to you two xxx Hope that you can find some brightness in the weekend
-
No idea sorry - really hope that someone has the answer for you (cos I need to know too 😂)
-
I remember it well - it's flippin' hard work
-
That must be very difficult
-
I'm back from my 5k walk - it was lovely! Apart from nearly being brained by a pheasant - we were walking around a country estate and they were having a shoot ☹️ we were asked to walk behind the guns - well doh we were hardly going to walk in front of them...they honestly miss most which is great...however one that they did get landed no more than 3feet away from me with a big 'whomp' noise - my lovely son thought that was hilarious 🤣 the 'gunman' shouted "sorry" - all good, but I did think 'how much would that hurt if it had hit me' 🤦♀️ 🤣 Oh and I have been 'told off' for talking to everyone - according to number one son "you just say good morning but keep walking" - yeah right!
-
So glad that you pointed out that the poo bags were unused 🤣
-
Nursery World are reporting that over 20% of EY staff are off sick with Covid - that is shocking and sad in equal measure
-
Ooops sorry my little black and white furry friend - I missed your post - I only caught the end of that item hope they repeat it later
-
Just been chatting to eldest son about various things, he then said "are you walking tomorrow", I said "yes of course" apparently he is going to call for me at 10 and we are going on a 5k walk together 🤦♀️ wish me luck - I often do 3k but 5k is a bit of a stretch...oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained 🙃
-
Ah 'the vanishing Ofsted notification document' Twitter was alive with news about that - but no I hadn't read it - was it something about notifying them about changes in staff circumstances or am I on the wrong track? Speaking of Twitter - is anyone else following 'Geoff and Margaret' @retirementales - it is a 'spoof' thing and is very funny - Margaret has left her care home to answer the call for retired teachers to boost the school workforce 😂
