Enjoy the show! How is your sister now? Another quiet week again here. Just back from nice pub lunch, and now ready for a lazy weekend! Although sunnyday has managed to remind me I do have a few sewing jobs to do for the local dance show 😂 Hope everyone has a good weekend.xx

My thoughts are with zigzag and cait. So much bad news around at the moment. We too have a diagnosis for cancer in a family member this week. Hopefully found early but we have to wait and see.

A quiet week again here, now got the GD for her sleepover. No arts and crafts yet.... but she has got the toot-toot village out and I'm not sure which is worse!😂 Only got two more weeks (well 1 week, 4 days!) before the end of term 🙀.... more than half way through the year now! Didn't we have a nice Wednesday this week- not a drop of rain all day!!!!!!!!!!!😂
-
Hobbycraft 🙀 I went there the other weekto spend a £5 birthday voucher (from thenm)..... and came out £45 lighter!!!!

You are going to have to update us on your choice!
-
So many to choose from! For me I'd probably start with Emmaline Pankhurst.... but she's a very 'safe' choice, and really I feel maybe I should go with someone else, so possibly Frida Kalho for me- because I love her art.... but then again there are some other very good candidates!!!!
-
Good to her MrS is doing good. Quiet week here, we do however have the grandson's first birthday tomorrow! Where did that year go!🙀 Today I've been doing the usual 'Firday Arts and Crafts' session witht the 4 year old 😂 We made a resin coaster for mummy.... not going to lie it was a bit stressful making sure she didn't actually touch the resin- but she did manage to fill it with all sorts of glittery/ diamond/ sequiny items which made her happy! 😂 Have a good weekend all. xx

That's what I did with my hexies, but was more of an 'inne'r flower, with an edging wihich is what made it a bit too big really.
-
I did a stripey crohet one- one row for each day, I actually did that one as a 'pregancy blanket' from annoncement to birth. I also did a year one (2019), but in the end I made it into small blankets for the local hospital as I did'nt really like te finished affect! 😂 This one was a crohet hexagon- one for each day... it would have been quite big!
-
St David's day. Feeling a bit 'thoughtful' today as it's the anniversay of my dad's death, and my mum was Welsh. We are for afternoon tea later as we like to make it a special day 😊 Absolutely chucking it down here! Fingers crossed for Mr S next week- hope it all goes well for him. Have a good weekend everyone. xx
-
And BINGO! I just had a memeber of staff mention Martin Lewis and holiday pay!!! I had to point out they'd all been paid the full amount - but it may go down now though.
-
To be honest the weather has been so mild my brain thinks we are now starting the summer term! 🙀😳😂!!!
-
Afternoon every one. After a full on morning of 'arts and crafts' I am now about to lay on the sofa for a short nap! Back to work next week, and I have mixed feelings, I'm actually looking foward to a bit of routine - but I think that's down to the awful weather at the moment. Have a good weekend all x

............ disney princesses anyone???????? 😭😭😭!!!!!!! -
We went with Pyjama days a good few years ago now- much less stressfull (and competative!) we encourage bringing a favorite book in. We also have a big box old 'old' books that children can take home and keep or return. We actually find this box also receives books back form parents to share- as it never gets to empty! We are quite lucky that we seem to have quite a few free/swapping books schemes going on in our area so most children do have access to books they can bring in if they don't have them at home. Also- the thing about PJs is even if you do end up buying a new pair for the day- at least it's something that will get full use! (saying this as grandparent that has just bought a new pair for GD for this very reason 😂😂)

I feel the need to say my washing machine plan appears to have paid off... 😳 I just walked away for 24 hours, and now (touch wood) it appears to have stopped leaking, very strange!
-
Do not feel guilty- you obviously did need it 😁 Just to add my two-pen'erth ... I've not done anyhting much for the last two days! When can you come and fix mine! 😳 Just walked out to find a small pool of water in front of it. My plan is to not use it again today- and hope by tomorrow it will have fixed itself? Scones are always a good idea 😊 Activities.... what kind are you looking for? In this house 'arts and crafts' has always been a top choice, if not that then playing tea parties- you can combine that with cooking if you are feeling kind- and do not wish to just lay on sofa whilst being given 'cups of tea and cake' 😂 Just going out for walks is possibly one of the best- either on a nice sunny day, or jumping in puddles if raining. ☔🌧️. Note: arts and crafts = cutting, gluing- old cards, sequines etc. (glue sticks are good as they dry quickly at this age) collecting bits from a walk and making a picture painting - if I'm in the mood for the mess it creates felt pens seem to go down better with the younger age as they get more colour with less pressure than a pencil - but you can't take you eyes of them for one second whilst they have a flet pen in their hands... also this does not work well if you are 'precious' about your pen lids!😂😂

I found a strange youtube clip of granny vrs floor is lava.... seems this is a 'thing' 😳😂 ... then i found some rather unflattering balaclava's made using 'granny squares' 😂 I did find some nice/interesting pictures when I searched for 'ladies balaclava' though.
-
I just tried googling...... an interesting 20 mins 😂😂
-
HL- I need a grannyclava in my life! I shall wait patiently for photos of the flowers. SD - Colouring! How could l forget colouring!!! Your GD is a little older than mine I beiieve......... has she passed the stage to telling what part you can colour and which colour you can use!? 😂😂 xx

Morning all! Half-term Yaayyyy!!! (Well I guess mine started Wednesday really) Busy week here- elderley neighbour had a very bad turn but refused to go to hospital.... however, thankfully is now settled into the local community hospital 🙂 Sunnyday did you have a fun 'nanny sleepover' did you do arts and crafts, cooking or dancing? These are our usual 'go too's' for me - although she has just discovered 'duck, duck, goose' which is interesting with just two people (for some reason grandpa always seeems to be asleep when that's played! 😂) Hoglet- how did the crafting go? Did you manage to get the felt daffs completed? Anyone else got anything interested planned? (or completed last week) Cx

Happy 21st!! 🍰🥂

At least it's not actually raining here today- just grey and damp! Have a fantastic sleepover tonight.😊
