    Hi all, hope you’ve had a good week, drama free here which I’ll take. Do any of you have families affected by the ‘support’ and/or ‘childcare’ bubbles? We have had a couple families (not single parents)who use both sets of grandparents but have now nominated which set will be their childcare bubble yet we have children with single parents who now seem to have 4 bubbles going on, each single parent of said children can have a support bubble each and a childcare bubble each .....is this correct or am I miss reading the guidance?

    I had reams of it too from when we were all sat here trying to work out the formula, my fee loss was still higher in Feb than now but my funding much higher so can’t see it being worth bothering with again. sorry to read about your son, hope he’s soon over it, this trace and contact system is a shambles isn’t it, I don’t know of many being tested but the home test kit people seem to get their results quicker, even allowing for it having to be posted back than the testing at the centres 🤷‍♀️I have a friend that has signed up for weekly testing of the whole family for research...what a waste of resources, taking up lab time to get results when surely there are enough people turning up for tests they could ask to be part of the research without sending people around to houses creating more work 😠

    Nor me Lynned, I’d be hard pushed to remember how I worked it out last time 🤦‍♀️

    Thanks sunnyday, best wishes to you too and everyone else, hopefully we won’t have to cope with too many challenges 🤞

    We set up a charity pay pal account with a view of people buying via that but I have no idea how you know who has bought which tickets ....I guess someone on the committee does 🤷‍♀️
  7. Mouseketeer
    That’s good to hear, are you selling raffle tickets via a platform like PayPal?
  8. Mouseketeer
    Great idea, it looks like a good resource, we are planning a big online raffle as we can’t do usual fundraising events this half term but have to sort the council licence out first to sell tickets so hopefully that will be just a quick submit the application, pay the fee and away we go 🙂

    3. Peace at last I’m not great with titles/authors...I’d be hard pushed to tell you the title of the book I’m reading now 🙈

    We sent a couple of symptomatic chn home last week (thankfully both negative) they both had tests booked with in an hour if us phoning the parents, we’re quite rural so an hours drive to nearest testing stations/hospitals but not so bad.

    🤔

    I think that’s it until you need to have a staff member or member of their household tested I think, then you upload that excel sheet by 3.30pm (wasn’t it?) to be honest I think I’d only bother with it if someone was struggling to book a test but getting the test around here doesn’t seem to be the problem it’s the time taken to get the results back 😞

    I think it’s been mentally exhausting (and age in my case too on the physical side), I find myself questioning every decision I make over and over which is different from the ‘I’ve made the decision, these are the reasons and if it doesn’t work out I’ll put my hand up and say that was the wrong call’ attitude I usually adopt, I guess because the stakes are higher. I also have a TDL a mile long for half term catch up but most won’t happen as I have to put the building back to normal first, which is a daunting thought 🥺 Try and get some ‘you’ time everyone on HT this week, easier said than done I know and as you say loony (oops Louby) hats of to those of you working through 🏅

    Sad to read your post Lynned 😞 hope your husband is better soon.

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-getting-tested there is a section on how to register essential workers and the info you need to send, I’d given up as it took about 5 weeks to get a reply but maybe they’ve caught up now.

    I think you’re right, we have one and it makes me choke when I use it 😷

    Hope you’re soon over the flu FM 🤒 I’ve actually heard back from the Covid testing referral portal this week, I was beginning to think it didn’t mean PVI settings could register, we should now be able to fast track staff and their household members for testing which will be great providing they don’t try and send them 300 miles to a testing station 😕
  24. Mouseketeer
    If you’re on HT this week have a good one and if (like me) a week to go I hope the week is kind to us all, I am still planning to unbubble and quite looking forward to a rearranging furniture and getting back to a more ‘normal’ way of working, the chn haven’t used indoors since starting back in September so interested to know how that’s working for any settings that have been as I’m sure we won’t manage outside all winter, I’m thinking strip back the amount of available resources and some kind of rotation system, which we’ve been doing a bit with anything that gets taken from indoors to one of the outdoor bubble areas but am expecting to have to do this in a bigger scale when indoor play and no bubbles starts 🤷‍♀️

    Don’t feel guilty about having a good week SD, it’s nice to hear it 🙂 hope everyone can have a relaxing weekend, we’ve had some lovely warm sunshine today so that would be most welcome 🙏
