Morning all, Busy day so far, had the GD for a sleep over. therefore already today- I have delivered 5 babies, given the full beauty treatment to 5 customers (including a bunnycorn, had various beauty treaments and hairdoos , been on hoilday twice.... and finished of with a trip to the (Real) vet! This does now mean I shall now be playing 'vets' all afternoon 😂 Have a good weekend all. 😊 PS. I did remember to take all the slides, clips and bows out before leaning the house!

Sorry, late to the party. The whole thing is a nightmare! Can you imagine any other business putting up with the c**p we have to!!!! We have to sign our contracts in March- very often without a confirmed hourly rate... Can you see the head of the Bank on England working with those terms. We have started a breakfast club - non funded, and now close earlier to cover the lunch break for the 15 hours funded. Currently we allow 30 hours funding to cover this 15 mins - and this actually attracts the '15 hours' parents to pay for the extra 15 mins. We too are a not-for-profit graoup, if i'm honest i can't see us lasting beyond Christmas. I am now far to old for all this messing about having to justify every last penny they give us!! Rant over.

Yes, but as finleysmaid says- the parents/carers have to pay.

That sound fun too!

That sounds like a lovely few days 😊

Morning all. We had nothing Monday - and I was looking foward to a good storm, very heavy and humid here. 😳 Another very chilled week here too, that said the GD only finished school Tuesday, so 'day's out and treats' will be more so now- and we did manage to go fruit picking between showers yesterday (plums- it took us less than 5 mins to get loads!) I'm a little sad as we had to turn down 'dog sitting' - due to a hyper dog and our 18/19 year old cat. A few years ago she could have easily 'held her ground" with the said dog, but she's now deaf so just not fair on her. Off for a one mile walk to the post office, then back..... only problem is it's bit too early to stop of at the pub for a coffee once down there 😂 Have a good weekend everyone. xx

Love it!😍

😳 .... I'm in early this week! 😂 First week of the summer break and I've done virtually nothing all week! Off to my exercise class now- and it's already getting pretty warn outside... I will need a nice rest this afternnon then! Hope everyone it ok, and have a good weekend all. xx

Well, I have to be honest judging by the cars our local dentist drives, and the other local one that has just opened a big new practice - I think our dentists faired a bit better. However that said- i do do live in a high 'implant/fake this n that' area of the country, which could explain things. 😳 Cait -it must be quite awful for your dentist. Covid affected so many people, we lost most of our independant shops- now replaced with coffee shops and nail bars. 😢

I made some very fetching ones for staff to wear... we didn't use them in the end. It all got a s bit silly around here- with hospitals asking people NOT to make any! I seem to like looking at my machine just lately, possibly give it a lttle dust/clean 😂

Morning all 1st day of the summer break for me 😁 Been to my dance/fitness calss this morning - it was hot!! Now planning on spending the rest of the day doing nothing...😁😁😁 No real plans for the week either😳 I feel totally drained so jut need to rest for the week. (think it's the after effects of the shingles?) Hope everyone has a good week.

Morning all, Well it certainly was hot Mon/Tues Sunnyday! I'm not a heat lover at the best of times - Weds was the perfect temp for me. Enjoy the dog sitting 😊 Have a good weekend everyone. Quiet one planned here. x

Better than expected, but I'll not bother again 😁

No... 😂😂😂 But in support, I have just had a fake M&S strawberry and cream sandwich if that counts?! 😁

Hi all, Sunnyday - I'm on babysitting duty tomorrow 😊 Not a very exciting week, although I did go for lunch somewhere I havent been since pre-covid.... it was really run down now, and a tady bit dogdy looking 😳 It used to be such a pretty pub by a canal, I feel the cost of living may be forcing more people onto narrow boats nowadays. Not that I'm counting- but I only have 6.5 working days left (until summer break) ... and most of those are just mornings 😁 Hope everyone manges to keep cool somehow this weekend. xx
