Sight I hate - the sparkle of glitter all over my carpet even though I have hoovered!! Sight I love - the online shopping arriving which means I don't have to go out and shop with hundreds of others!!

I no longer wish to work in childcare I want to enter the world of admin; within education would be good but it doesn't have to be. How do I 'sell' the skills of being a pre-school manager to those who have no clue about what the job takes?! Anyone I've ever spoken to who's not been involved in Early Years has always given the impression that it's a 'nothing' kind of role responses of "ahh that must be so lovely, playing with the little ones" (if only they knew!)

Time to start getting out and re-reading some of my favourite Christmas books/scenes. Might start with The Children of Green Knowe. I don't read them all every year (I'd probably have to start in June! ) but I do have some books which just are Christmas. Does anyone else do the same? And apologies if I asked the same thing last year!!
