Hoping for a speedy diagnosis for your sister. I have a question for owners with Grandchildren that attend. 1) Do you charge them? Full rate or discounted? I've done a bill for my GD (which I'll pay anyway😂) - but my deputy has asked why I'm on earth invoicing them as I own the place! Personally we are not-for-profit group and it feels wrong not to pay for her! 2) Keyworker, are you the key worker or a different member of staff? I can understand not being the key worker if it's your child, but feel it's a bit different as the grandparent - but again I sort of know it shouldn't be me, but at the end of the day (literally) - I'll be the one telling mum/dad everything anyway as I'm the one taking her in and bringing her home for the rest of the day! 😂

Negative PCR to return? I think that's what current advice is- they changed it around mid December as in the first updated guidance it said under 5s count just continue as normal.

Goes without saying, really hoping it happens today- waiting for things like this is the worst. 💐

Very quiet for us, went to daughters for Christmas Day, sister in laws yesterday, and then a 2 birthday party this Saturday for the granddaughter (hopefully!) Not really watched much tv at all. 🙀.........athough not really sure what I have done instead 😳
-
Well, I only just discovered this yesterday 🙀 I'm not really a great drinker, and I've always thought it sounded pretty awful- but I was given a bottle by my staff... well.... cheers everyone's all I can say!!!!!!!
-
I am really pleased for you as you are so close and loving with your family, and we've all worked so hard this term to have a fallen at the last hurdle was so awful for you, you must be so excited now. 😊 However as you say it makes no sense 😳 I've just had an email from our LA- wishing us a merry Christmas .... and reminding us that staff that have tested positive must not do the regular LFTs for at least 90 days!! I guess the science is they can give a false positive rather than a false negative though.

Me too! I also have a set of picnic bamboo cutlery - I can't use those either 😬
-
Ive not seen the news today! Plumber arrived to fix the temperamental boiler at 8, granddaughter arrived at nine. I've just sat down for a coffee- off to red the news now, it sounds like it good news for a change! 😁
-
Just make sure you keep resting. I think all three of my staff said they felt worse 5-7 days in. They said they felt tired and achey the first few days- then when they expected to be getting better the sheer tiredness and headaches set in. They were all fine'ish after the 10 days and all returned to work ok though.
-
Rest and drink plenty. All three of my staff all said they were just so tired they kept falling asleep for around three/four days. Netflix (or similar is you friend at the moment)

Sorry...... it will be just like the funding - they expect you sign up before they tell you the funding rate!!!😂
-
I really hope it stays mild for you 🤞 xxx

Me neither, I've just put a few lights up in my back garden - and we're going to have 'hot-chocolate on the terrace' in a little while :) I usually put a few in the front garden- but it's only really dog walkers that go past anyway so they're out the back for us to enjoy now :)
-
Any John Lewis store near you? How about small independent shops? We have fantastic little one by us- run by two sisters that really know their stuff, they make you try on things you're never think of usually with good results. I call them Trinny and Suzanne.
-
Well that's it I'm done! I think I need to do something about the house now- it currently looks like the overflow site of the local tip 😩

This was my first time, and whilst I can see that some people may love it, it wasn't really for me. My almost 2 year old has developed such a love of horses (from her grandpa- certainly not her mother 😂) and the sheer delight watching her with the with the fairground carousel ride, and the little carved wooden horses there did make the trip worthwhile though. She even managed to persuade the ride controller turn a blind-eye to her 2cm height restriction and let her go with an adult - when she got of her even said it had made his day watching how happy she was 😊 Grandpa's been told he's paying for riding lessons!
-
Two days left for us now. Just Monday morning, then party day Tuesday followed by our staff meal. I survived my Butlin's week, whilst I didn't hate it - I don't think I'll rush back! 😂
-
Fingers crossed for you.🤞 xx
-
I second what sunnyday said. You have actually made me think we could try harder. 'm now thinking about some kind of bus trip for ours. We have a good bunch of parents that spilt walking and driving. Having thought about it we only have one child that uses the bus as main transport, and at a guess I would think that not many of ours have even been on a bus!

Well, Andy has just informed me his sister gave him a quick lesson on how to make a wreath when she gave him all the bits today - tomorrow is going to interesting!
-
Yes, that's our lot too 😬
