It's such a nice feeling when you know your craft work is appreciated
-
Yes, we were lucky we did our 2 weeks earlier this year! Usually we have slightly more formal ones for Christmas, but they were done the park with the autumn leaves
-
Actually, have any on you played 'Rapidoe" (think that's what it called). I have to say it the only family non-board board game I've every excelled at. Nobody could work out how I could interpret play dough creations with such speed and accuracy ...... being able to follow two play dough related conversations at once obviously helped too!🤣🤣
-
Well to be fair I could see it involved digging - I could a mud and 'scoop' type arm.... I just assumed as it was yellow it must be 'sunnyday'!
-
A drawing of you planting tulips bulbs?
-
You're brave have your new starters now! Ours now all wait until January (messes up our Christmas party 🤣). That said we will only be taking them from mid-jan now as we want to keep an eye on infection rates etc before adding more children/families to our bubbles. We started Christmas last week (cards and calendars), and we will be making our tree on Monday. Usually we enter the Christmas tree festival at our local church - then have the tree afterwards, however this year its been cancelled which leaves us treeless!!!🙀 Having made my gnome last weekend have decided to adapt design and make our own tree. xxxx

As Sunnyday says- hair will grow, and mum will eventually calm down. Stay strong 💐 xx
-
I feel for you. It's hard not to take it personally and get annoyed when the whole county goes into tiers when some areas are low.

We had an email from a LA this morning telling us the first aid over Zoom was not acceptable, and the email liked to the statutory framework for reference.
-
First Aid done and passed. We use tigerlilly and paid £86. Very covid safe- but had to keep our masks on all the time (except when doing CPR) and this was the first time we've actually had to stay the full 6 hours + breaks- so 7 hours in a mask 😬. Usually it's a "is everyone happy to have a woking lunch and breaks and then we can leave early" I though I read somewhere that it had to be face to face and visual Zoom one we not acceptable? Well I'll be up again this weekend for 'cake and craft' ..... I'm planning on making and evergreen Christmas gnome for my garden - he never got made last year and I'm determined to get hime done this year.
-
Had a headache last night and that was it. No other side effects
-
Ive got a thumping headache at the moment, but arm feels fine.... that said I've had a rotator cuff injury and my arms been aching for months anyway!🤣 I am a bit concerned that I might feel fluey tomorrow at my first aid course - I'm worried that if I look a bit off they might think it's covid and send me home!
-
I've been trying to get one for ages, our fantastic village pharmacist (everyone goes to him rather than the Drs he is so good) gave my husband the 'heads-up' that more vaccines would be arriving very soon and said to try Asda
-
I rung my Drs to ask if I could have one as I'm not that far off from 65 and due to my job - they categorically said no- I even offered to pay for it! I had one today at 3pm, get in car hear on the news that they are going to offer 50+ 🤣
-
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 😂)
