AnonyMouse_30128 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Busy week here as usual. Rent reviews🤪Trustees meeting😊Lots of good stuff with the children😊and a few behaviour issues😬 we finish at the end of this week and are hoping to get some of the building painted ....although the quote has just come through and it's rather more than i expected!!!! We have 4 keyworker children to return after Easter and 5 new starters....don't actually now how we are going to do that but i guess we will cope. Found out this week that we have 10% of our counties children with EHCP's for ASD ! wondered why we felt so busy😅 I hate the period after Easter the attitude from the parents and children, when they get their school places tends to change and for a few weeks they get so disrespectful . I've already had to start the "you are not going to school for ages" conversations...why do people feel that they have to tell children of this age things SO early ! anyway moan over the suns out ive got dogs to walk and things to plant ...so for today all is good! xxxx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ages away, so confusing for the children...oh and I so wish that I could persuade parents to drop the 'big' school expression, call it primary school please 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I can remember having a conversation with a new member of staff at around this time of year. “How am I going to cope?” She cried, “saying goodby to all these children in summertime. I don’t know how you do it, year after year, I think it’s going to break my heart!” Me ‘Oh, come July, you’ll be pleased to say goodbye to most of them, believe me!’ July comes round, and she admits I was right! The attitude of the parents really rubs off on the children. They just seem to view that last term as marking time until the real stuff begins! So belittling to everything we’ve done. 😡 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 I sent our two youngest grandchildren a card from the 'Easter Bunny' - it told them that he would be leaving some eggs for them to find in nana and grandad's garden - wondered if our 5 year old granddaughter would see through this - she has just facetimed us, bursting with excitement - love it when a plan pays off! 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I had to go into the hall today, so daughter and granddaughter met me there to go to the park together afterwards.

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I mustn't fill this thread with puppy pics - but she looked so big in the other one - she is in fact really little, so for scale he she is with their Border Terrier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 She’s very lovely Sunnyday. I have had a busy week - lots of schoolwork, rest and sock knitting. Had the best Easter Sunday as my sister and her family came up to mum and dad’s. My niblings are just so lovely and we had a great time - it was worth the sunburn! I will be working again tomorrow as we have to hand laptops in next week but after that I am planning a week of crafting, cleaning, sorting and maybe some gardening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I feel like I've done two weeks of sorting. I inherited a LOT of sewing stuff which was a nice thought - but I already have far to much sewing bits/bobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my first throes of sock knitting (which I am still loving) I did get a little carried away with yarn buying! Part of my next week’s plans for sorting include making a space that can b3come a craft room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum has three or maybe 4. She has her ‘normal’ one and possibly the one she had when I was little then she inherited machines from her mum and her aunt - beautiful antique singers with the winding handle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
