Love and best wishes from me too Zigzag.

I think this is the issue with part-time staff working term time only. In an emergency people need to ring the direct mobile number and not spend time searching for just where a person might or might not be at any given time/day.
-
Although I may change my mind.... Literally just had a parent ring (should add on work phone) confirming she has all sessions booked for September, me .......'erm no, have have the slip in my hand that clearly says 3 days". silence then.... parent replies 'Im sure I ticked all the days" 😭😭😭 At least my very short working day yesterday meant I had the paperwork to hand- even if I actually ended up doing nothing yesterday.
-
Actually the more it's said to me- the more determined I am to make it work!
-
I have a friend like that, she keeps saying the very same thing.

I've driven through our town twice - (through and back again) and that's about it. 3 miles away, I've been 'this side' as that's were the setting is, and there's a coffee shop in the park we're in, and I have had a few coffees there. I did once venture into our biggest main town and went to Asda, that was about mid June. I don't actually miss anything- other than early morning coffee + brunch.

We are a term-time setting our phones are stored in kitchen on full display, but out of children's sight/ reach. Our staff work different hours and all have either dependent children or elderly parents, and I feel times have changes so much (not just covid related) that phone policies need to reflex individual settings. Ours clearly sets out how and we why do what we do. If we were a full time setting we would probably have a completely different policy.

if you're not a coffee lover maybe just a very small amount of sugar 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon just to take the bitterness off? Or completely leave it out if you like strong coffee.:)
-
Oh, I shall try that on Wednesday, my daughter coming over again and we miss our coffees out. 😁 I made one where you frothed up a small amount of instant coffee mixture for about 5mins with a small whisk and poured over milk and ice cubes. Note; I may have made my 'pool party' sound a bit posh- I should add it was a kiddies small blow up paddling pool party 🤣
-
Well my day started well... I was in the 'office' at 8.50 ready to crack on with TDL........... 9.05 daughter arrives with the baby, and the day went to pot! We had an impromptu socially distanced 'pool party' with my friend a few doors down who looks after her grandson. We had a lovely morning at it was good to see the two babies socialising as they should (10mths and 7mths). The two mums are best friends too- it was so nice to be 'almost' normal. Days like today make me feel a bit more positive about the future. I still sometimes think it's all like a bad dream.

Well I did read if you have trouble sleeping in this heat you should put some socks in the freezer then slip them on- apparently cooling your feet this way helps 😃
-
Mine was frustrating. They all live in an English village near Salisbury ... yet the child has completed 5 weeks of school during the 3rd week of August which is the same time the main character finds out she is pregnant- fast forward 5 months and it is the start of winter 😂
-
I love the randomness and the casual 'I bought a car this morning' being secondary to the importance of turning a sock heel 😂 For the record I have done nothing all day other than finished reading an annoying 99p kindle romance.
-
A few days rarely but you might see a few shooting stars 🌟
-
Ours has always been this method. We only claim for our returners at this point though- just in case we have 'no show/changed minds' etc in September, We then put in the full claim in in September.
-
Our estimates had to be in before the end of term too.
-
That was how it did it 🤣 I kept praising the staff for how well they did it.... even if it was a bad batch I'd find something positive about it, lots of imaginative smells etc. When I do actually have make it myself I get the children to do it.
-
I've got it sussed- I have the update page saved as a favourite 😁 It used to make ages trying to find it- now it just opens.
-
We're sort of considering opening longer due to such a high demand this year- but want to wait and see how thing pan out for a while.... can't take anymore children if I only have the two staff members that can actually work (under 50🤣🤣) Which bring me to age discrimination - sure even hinting that over 50's might need to work from home etc is going to create this?....... we had someone asking about vacancies and I have to be totally honest- I'm thinking well you do look under 50....

Good to hear you're feeling a bit better today. 💐🍪☕ I posted off my accounts today, so I now feel a weight of my shoulders 😃 I did try and submit online yesterday but I couldn't get logged in- hence the wine so early. Relaxing day after that visiting granddaughter. Obviously not chatting yet - so didn't have sunnydays issues 🤣
-
I make my play dough the delegation way 🤣😁😁😁
-
Bath and early night xxx Echo can wait until tomorrow 🙂
-
I'm on wine now.... but a least they're done 🤣
