Just got home to find a message from Ofsted on my phone asking me to ring them as soon as possible. What could this be about, any one else had this and what was it about. Am worrying like mad.

Well I have spotted recently a few threads relating to 'The Archers' and all things Ambridge and find myself a little jealous as I cannot join in having never listened to the tale of country folk.....so I thought maybe I should start a thread about some country folk that I am finding rather compelling GAME OF THRONES WARNING.....THIS PROGRAMME IS NOT FOR THE FEINT HEARTED AND COULD NOT BE LESS SUITABLE FOR THOSE WORKING IN CHILDCARE :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: BUT OMG (as the youngsters would say) So if anyone would like to join me in my appreciation of all things dark, evil, dragon and darn right Machiavellian to the point of genius then welcome aboard. …

Once again laughed at and this continued for a number of days. Until eldest came down one day and claime…
