I was thinking this or maybe spray very lightly with a bicarb and water mix?
-
Maybe store it in your garage or shed? .... 🤷♀️🤣 Another Friday, work not to bad but I can tell that deep down I am quietly quitting already ... I know longer keep up with every bit of new information that comes out, and I'm doing most of the paperwork at work- in work time! For the first time ever I am managing 'to leave work at work! Oh and the baby's a boy 😮.... we were all convinced it was another girl! 😂

We call Eccles cakes fly cemetery cakes 🤣

I spent last night trying to find chocolate Garibaldi, alas not luck 😬 Must have been late 60s early 70s, they were just the normal cheapie one but with a thin layer of chocolate - does anyone else remember these? Me and Andy had our Covid boosters today. Andy a little upset that I was asked if I was having an early one as a NHS worker 🤣 ... he just looks old!
-
Well I'm going to HAVE to watch in now! Only today I was asking at work if anyone had had a chocolate Garibaldis !! My nan used to buy them for us when we were little.
-
No, I watch it on repeat. (just need to work out when that is!! sat or sun I think)

Couple of years ago we were having trouble with getting the children to 'lineup' to go outside for a walk. Changed the request to 'please queue up' and all the children got it straight away! 🤣

Childminding Assistant's and the 2 hour rule
louby loo replied to JGFS's topic in Early Years Setting Management
I kind of think as it says 'assistants' rather than 'each assistant I would read it as just 2 hour overall? It's one of those questions that I would email ofsted directly about- that way you have a paper trial if they do say each assistant = 2 hours. -
On a lighter note - should I be bringing in all my green tomatoes, or will they still ripen outside?

It is a strange day.

No, you now have buy yearly! I purchased the new format last August, thinking at least I could update in July (so within a year) but that didn't work! -
Well, I went back yesterday for staff training day.... then I don't work Fridays 😁 so off today. I must say this is the first year that I've not been in for the first day with children so my mindset if definitely changing now. 😮😊 No smart meters in this house! And I still pay my bills quarterly. Hope you're feeling better soon Zigzag. 💐🍫🍇

Really good, the children are going to love their new classmates. I feel I need to post a picture of my machine and the pile of unmade summer projects next to it 😂 I have done nothing productive this summer whatsoever and I can't believe it's all over next week 😮😭
-
For you especially- the answer is always cake! Maybe with a simple 'I really appreciate your views/comments/observations (or whatever suitable word)

Late check in from me... this 'over 50's dance class wears me out! Our 'step-grandson' also did well in his GCSE's and is over the moon! 😁 He has had a very hard year, his mother decided to move abroad last September - so a lot of personal stuff going on for him 😢. Anyway he aced it and can do his 6th choices, I am just so pleased for him. Just booked for Peppa Pig world in a couple of weeks... can my life get more exciting!! 😂😂

I wish.... could explain why we haven't got a hosepipe ban yet though.😬
-
Oh Gezabel, so sad for you and everyone involved. IVF is such a hard journey xxx
-
Glad I'm not the only one 😂
-
I always find just talking to them like another person in the room always helps! A bit like working with young children... I narrate my day 😂

You are defiantly right about balance - I was like you (and Cait) described before covid struck, and, as you say possible an unhealthy obsession! Nowadays I am so much more chilled about what I do- and it really has become the 'bare minimum'. At the beginning of the six weeks I decided Monday's would be my only 'work day' ... and even that has proved too much for me! 😂. (I really must try harder as I do pay myself as normal during the holidays !!! 🙀- well, in my defence I do do quite a lot of thinking! 😂) We (home) are pretty much finically secure (🤞🤞) which I feel why I have become more 'chilled' ..... HOWEVER I grew up during some very hard times, (who remembers the 3 day week and power cuts etc?) and in the back of my my mind in the current climate I keep thinking- "I need this money just incase" At the moment I'm in a 'happy place' - even though currently having that - back to work- dread. I think having the knowledge that if the "$... hits the fan" at any point- I can just say enough in enough, and then quit helps though. xx That was me pre Covid!!!
