I used to have Jeff Hurst's autograph 😂 ...
-
😳 I'm currently online shopping - this football/tennis malarkey is expensive!
-
I signed up to for that some time ago but I've never really looked at any of the offers. I'll be honest after I'd signed up I though - 😭...I've just agreed to be spammed with loads of pointless emails!!! Off to check now.. (Hate both tennis and football so it will give me something to do 😂)
-
Friday.... not sure how we managed the week!! 🤣 Staff off self-isolating for no real reason (false negatives 😭). Luckily as most of the children are now over 3, and the fact we always work over ratios means it didn't really have a panic effect. We've just spent the week overseeing as I like to call it. We actually have a pretty good bunch of children this year- no behavioural issues or SEN, so in all honestly it's just been a bit of a chilled out week with the constant worry about whether we'll mange to make it successfully to next Friday !
-
🤞🤞 for the last two weeks I think term has been a really hard one, I know my team are fatigued and it's really beginning to show now :(
-
I've come late to roses, they really are quite beautiful. I bought this one when my parents died, I think its called 'remember me' or something like that. Rescued these two blooms that were too heavy to survive the rain.
-
I just had to laugh then the newsreader said 'is this the end to the good weather for a while'. 🤣 TWO days with no rain!......still only cloudy/sunny- not full on blue skies! (and it was the local not national news)
-
Friday again, and I swear this year is more stressful than last years 'shall we/ shan't we' reopen in June! This morning I had one staff member going into isolation due to her daughter testing positive after (well before really I suppose) going for a 32 baby scan- such a worry for the family. We only have two weeks left now, and I really want to be able to do our concert for the parents- this cohort's families have missed out on so much, and we wanted at least for them to leave on a high. On the plus side we celebrated my granddaughters 'half birthday' yesterday with a lovely miniature train ride, a woodland fairy walk and a picnic, it was sunny first the first time in ages and we had a wonderful day 😊.
-
No, but I'm interested to see the answer!
-
I just want to get through the next three weeks!!
-
That pretty much explains how I feel, if I'm honest I actually like this new was of life (current restrictions) as it seem to promote a less stressful way of living. I find I don't need to go shopping for things I previously thought I needed!! It all seems a much simpler. Very worrying for you down there. Hope your husband remains well. My cousin lives in Falmouth so we've been following developments, we were hoping to visit her next month with the fast growing up 'baby', but we'll be leaving it a bit longer now I think.
-
No please!🙀
-
Cold here! The heating has come on 🙀.... I'm laying on sofa (looking at a pile of work stuff), with a cat snuggled up and blanket over us both!
-
Well it's here again!🙀 Is it just me or does it seem to be going faster than ever this year? Nothing much planned for this weekend due to weather. We've never really been big on celebrating fathers day anyway-so that'd not an issue for us. Had 'what do we do' about the leavers day panic, but got that sorted now too. Had good news from our landlords (scouts) they need to make changes to the hall so they can run Covid safe in the autumn/winter ... and it works in our favour! Means a very serious sort out of our cupboard during the summer- but we'll get much easier access storage. they even offered the manpower to help move everything! 😊
-
Strange here, think we have by-passed the worst so far. Rained 9-11ish. Nothing in night- very possibly a very distant rumble.... This morning damp and very humid but not raining just 'dampness in the air'.
-
No thunder but very heavy rain.
-
Friday again! I can't believe we've only been back a week, seems a lot longer 😳 I good week on the whole, although our landlords (scouts) have been having the flat roof part of the building done and it's been sooooo noisy 😭 but at least the good weather means we've been outside most of the time.
-
We have seriously cut down the amount of stuff we have out. If children are showing a genuine interest in certain resources we will get more out though.
-
Oh, I love a take-out one too!!! My daughter's birthday tomorrow and we were thinking about a delivered afternoon tea [we have one that delivers complete with stand 😊] ..but I didn't dare book it as we are due a very eminent Ofsted and I felt booking it would jinx the day! You have my sympathies, I've spent a couple of hours trying to pay my electric bill online 😭 I've given up and written a cheque!!!
-
Just you...... personally I find everything if life gives me the urge for a proper afternoon tea 🤣.
-
Not sure really, but watching this with interest as we had to re-register so are now technically a youngish setting (I took all the old paperwork and dumped it with the last owner (on Ofsted's recommendation I should add!). I am determined not to fall into the trap of saving loads. I have been brutal with the accident forms though and we are not keeping all the 'cuts/scratches' etc. Head bumps yes keeping.
-
Yes, that's the one, I found it very moving and it still stays with me.
-
Well I am well and truly pooped! I'd forgotten how much work littlies are! She's 17 months (can't believe how quickly time has gone!). She was like a little angel I have to say. And in true form I took her home and she totally ignored mum at first 🤣 (can't believe how nervous I felt driving on the motorway with her!😳- and it's only I junction 12mins !!!!) Glad everyone seems to have a good break, all the pets are well again 😊. Zigzag hope your mum is recovering well, I fully understand what you mean about mixed feeling about going back - I honestly think the whole Covid thing had finished me- I would quite happily not go back Monday 😭. I am definitely thinking about my 'exit plan' now... I was hoping to pass it on to my deputy- but she has said when I go she goes 🙀!!!! I'm not help with films I'm afraid. I do still think about that film about the lighthouse keeper - I found it so moving. (forgotten the name)
-
The week's flown by (I always feel a bit short changed when bank-holidays fall in the holidays!) We are overnight babysitting for the first time tonight 🙀. Not really done anything all half term. Our cat was very poorly at the weekend and we feared the worst, but she's recovered, and up to mischief again now. 😊
