Is anyone else having this problem? I made some new playdough, usual recipe, and used morrisons food colouring. Its now the most revolting mouldy blue colour, not at all like the colour in the bottle. I put the whole bottle in thinking it would get stronger, but it didn't. Is it because its 'natural colouring' do you think? (it's the most 'unnatural' colour!) I want nice synthetic starry night dark blue i can stick some glitter in. what does everyone else use????

Dear all I need to pick your brains you lot. Mother in law basically wants to be able to surf the net and look stuff up and send the odd email. Father in law has a desktop computer in the office but MIL doesn't like using it because it is his domain and she feels whenever she gets in there he wants to get in there and despite recently celebrating 52 years of marriage they can still bicker let me tell you. Anyway, a while back she had a laptop but it was really more trouble for her than it was worth and gave it to my son. So now she thinks maybe a tablet would suit her and she has enlisted my help to help her get one. My question is really what to c…

Did anyone else see this today? Page 17 Richard Littlejohn. "For generations, children have been making models out of used cardboard toilet roll tubes - sausage dogs, giraffes, that sort of thing. That was before elf'n' safety got in on the act. A number of readers have writteen to inform me that Ofsted has ordered that all toilet roll tubes now have to be microwaved for a minimum of ten secords to eliminate germs." We don't use toilet rolls anyway, haven't for years. That being said does anybody know that Ofsted really have made this order? Years ago I remember being told that toilet rolls could be used if they had been microwaved when I was training.

As the title says, so fed up, and in need of advice/a good shake! I've been running a committee pre school for over 2 years, and in many ways I love my job. However I had a meltdown just before half term, and am on the brink again, just one wek into term. I have written my resignation tonight, but not handed it in yet. I spent a lot of time over the summer working on implementing the revised EYFS, as I know many of you did too. I didn't ask for any payment for all the hours spent, as I know budgets are tight, however, I do feel that the committee knew that work needed to be done, but just assumed I would do it all. We are also expecting Ofsted this term, which is …
