No, and I still haven't been able to get over when our LA gave us all PPE............ 5 masks, aprons and gloves! I've had a flu jab at last! Asda £8. Not been able to get one anywhere until now. First aid training tomorrow, I'e completed the e-learning bit today. We're all a bit worn out at work, and the cases locally are increasing daily Touch-wood, we seem to be ok though, although it stresses me the amount of parents that pile into the playground at collection time. (not just all our children- it's a very popular local playground) Have a good week-end everyone.

Well I must say that really was a pleasant afternoon, and the cake was soooo yummy xx
-
🤣 When my daughter was little we used to play 'estate agents' - We'd pretend the phone had rung and it was the estate agent and he would be turning up in 20mins for a house viewing, so we'd have to tidy like mad to get the house nice. (should add the house wasn't actually on the market). As a result years later we are both excellent at 20 min tidy-upers 😁
-
😁.... be about 20mins!
-
Yes! I would happily have done that for you in return for cake
-
I want to be in your house!

Hi Verone, sorry to hear about your difficult decision. I second Panda's advice about doing a forum search though.

Funnily enough I had the same reaction in this house! Our usual FC is a local actor (think Dr's/The Bill - we're not talking Hollywood 🤣). We're hoping for someone within our work bubble will volunteer. If we can't find one we will have a rethink, however I really do want to try-we have a sibling that started with us this year and all she has gone on about since day one is whether or not Father Christmas is in the building!!! Mum did warn us that this is all she talks about at home too and she couldn't wait to start with us because of FC. We're working on filming the concert.

Ok everyone, I'm going to say it ..... Christmas! - there, it's out! 🌲🎅 We finish on the 11th Dec so we actually only have four weeks left- which as we all know will fly past. How are people planning on handling this year? We will not be having our concert whatever the guidance might be by then, as I'm not confident it will be that much different from now. Usually we have a very short concert with the children that will be leaving in the summer, then all children come in for party etc. Looking for ideas on how we can cover this? Possibly filming it? Our usual Father Christmas is not able to do it this year so we need a replacement. We have worked out we can put him in the scout office (which we turn into a fully on grotto) and the children can see from a safe distance, and staff will hand out gifts etc. We feel this is well covered as long as we can find someone!
-
Actually and interesting question. I might possibly pay the lower rate during probation period, but once this is up and as long as they are doing the same role as other staff I'd pay equally.
-
Another tired one here. Although we have become a completely non parkway until the 2nd Dec 😁 (although I have read they are reviewing the 'educational groups' guidance next week 🙀...... is it really bad that I want them to keep the scouts closed 😂)
-
To be honest my brain is now on total overload with guidance. However I think you are correct with the support+childcare bubble that's how I read it too.
-
We all have bad days- it's allowed. I think what is difficult is when you are the one at the 'top of the chain' as it were. We check how are staff are, but no one to check how we are. x
-
Well in our area it was £18.50 an hour 10 years ago. I think we'd close if we got to that point.
-
What I'm annoyed miffed about this time around is - last time at this point (well for the last week we were open) we had a huge drop of children.... this time around we have parents asking for extra sessions! We are full and have had full attendance all week! Parents are even prepared to pay. We have 3 working parents, no vulnerable/CIN children.... we have 'mature' staff - half shouldn't even be in according to Boris....... yet parents want more sessions!!!! Ok rant over ...... well actually I have more..... the park was completely over full of both children and parents this evening when we left. 😬😬😬
-
Ive just had trick or treaters - granddaughter 9ths, and her friends - 1yr and 6mths. 😁🎃 I live towards the end of a long dark lane....... we don't actually get any as it's to dark and creepy down our end. These were our first lot in 25years 🤣
-
I don't think the weather help either. I've had a couple of mini meltdowns this week. At least if it's bright and sunny you can do an outdoor meet-up.
-
Virtual hug from me too, (((x))). Life is so difficult at the moment.
-
Good, it's not just me that thinks that. I did try and log in and it just sent me a code to book tests. I'm not sure what it's like getting test locally (yet.) The only two I know have booked tests have both been essential worker families and I'm not sure if they got them through their workplace portal or normally. (both negative results)

Well, I registered on the employer site, and got my password back within days, all good. But do I need to do anything else now? Am I fully registered? I was expecting to have to log in and create a password etc- but I can't seem to find that option.

😁😁

Have a great day, I know it won't be what was originally planned - but you can rock this one 😁🍰🍮 xx

Photo or it never happened! Washing up liquid and string is my answer though.

I have never felt so shattered this early in the year 😳 I guess it could be an age thing, but all the staff seem to feel the same. I'm guessing it the constantly being on a high state of alert. I've given up on a TDL this half term. Update the registers and that's about it I'm afraid. Sending postive vibes for those full yearers - you have my utmost admiration this year! 🏆
