Well, since I posted in another thread about Monday, I thought I had better tell you all. This monday coming I am finally having an operation to fix the perforated eardrum. Well the operation sounds like one fun yet strange tasks, sound horrid so wont mention it. I am expected to stay in overnight after my operation. With a lovely banaged right ear for 3 weeks. I wil require a week off work (if there is no complications) and then back to work with one bandaged ear. The best bit that is in 3 weeks time (if the operation works) I will be getting upgraded hearing aids! Yippeeee Work have ended up sending me to see Occupation Health, after having 3 weeks off sick …

Please take a moment to think of Ayeeshia Smith, aged just 2 years old. Killed by her parents and let down by society, doctors and social services. I promise to do my best to be alert to warning signs and to be brave enough to stand beside all children and to speak up if and when I have concerns. And not to take 'no concerns'for an answer if i report those concerns. RIP little one x

my neighbours grand son attends a private nursery - he is almost 2 - we were discussing how he is getting on there etc., - however, i was totally gobsmacked when she told me that at this nursery the parents had been told that he should not be potty trained until he is 2 years and 11 months! has anyone else heard this -do this? surely potty training is individual to each child and when they are ready? it also makes me wonder whether as each child turns 2/11 they are automatically potty trained whether ready or not (before or after this age)? :huh:

Hi Just wondered whether anyone has celebrated this Thai New Year Festival. It starts round about 13th April this year. We have a boy whose mum is Thai and I would really like to celebrate this festival with him - it appears on line to be all about spraying each other with water and wishing each other a year of blessings, so I am planning lots of water activities that week - but if anyone knows anything else I could offer I would be much obliged. HIs mum just says, its lots of fun and obviously very hot in Thailand at this time of year and lots of water involved!

What am I doing wrong? Most times these days the 'like' button gives me a message like, 'your reputation something could not be stored at this time'. But sometimes it works. I've logged out and back in again, make sure I don't scroll up too quickly, and hold my mouth all sorts of different ways. Any answers anyone? Honey

Using my kitchenAid today to make a pizza dough, turned it up to mix on high for a minute, turned my back for a second to wash a dish...enormous crash, turn around to find it had jumped its way of the counter, pulling the plug out of the socket. Unfortunately the mixer has a massive China bowl. But not only was this smashed to pieces it had also swiped my cake stand and egg storage rack ( including 10 eggs) onto my tiled kitchen floor!!! I just did not know where to start cleaning up first!! Amazingly the machine itself is still working! Needless to say have started on the cider already!!

Hello, I have been a governor for about 4 years - as a teacher governor and then co-opted. We heard this week that our chair of governors is resigning from the role as she is moving a long way away! I am contemplating putting my name forward for the role but am wary of whether I could manage the time commitment or whether it would work for me to be chair of governors given that I'm a teacher (I work full time). Our existing chair was in school a lot - but she worked part-time from home - and seemed to do a huge amount of research etc. Do any of you have a role as chair of governors/know someone who does it and could give me an honest opinion of the role/resp…
