I am just exhausted - I'm in school full time, teaching all day to the 21 children in my class in school and delivering remote learning to the children at home. Plus this week my governor school had Ofsted so I've done the governor interviews for that. Today I am focusing on fun stuff (reading, knitting my latest pair of socks) and the necessary (sleeping as needed and restoring order to the kitchen - it's been a while since I did any dishes...) I'm also trying to think of some fun virtual stuff I could do with my niblings over half-term; the lockdown side of things is affecting them more than me (in some respects my day to day life isn't that different) and they need some things to look forward to. Take care everyone. Ah there you are young froglet - I have been worried about you x That all sounds so tough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are only doing mornings- and I think we will continue with this until Easer now. I find it very hard with low numbers! It seems to be harder to create a spark for some reason. We have taken my dog for a walk to the local farm to see the animals, visited the park and had lots of messy fun outside but I am longing for the days when we get back to normal. On a really happy note, one of our villages donated £70 to us from the sale of a play station. And in response to my public thank you to him on FB, the local garage owner contacted me to see if he could make a donation and last night donated £100 to us. Just blown away by the kindness. 😍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_12805 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 We have all but 3 of our children returning to us after half term- I'm quite surprised as I thought more would stay off until Easter. However most of them have siblings at home, so I reckon parents have had enough of them at home now😃 Both my husband and I had our jabs las week. He got his notification first- which I was really pleased about as he is classed as clinically vulnerable and then a couple of hours later I got mine! I think my borough must be doing really well as since last week I''ve heard of loads of our age U70's being done. Must say I was so impressed with the set up and how smoothly it was all run. If nothing else they do seem to have got this bit right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 It’s very much a lottery though. My Mum lives in sheltered apartments and last Wednesday all the over 80’s were done except her, because she has a different GP practice! Her practice hasn’t got its authorisation to carry them out yet! She’s 87, clinically vulnerable and housebound. How they can leave her out beggars belief! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, unfortunately. One of the carers rang her GP yesterday and they said that they’ll come as soon as they are able to. It’s just yet another demonstration of poor organisation. We keep reassuring her that she won’t be forgotten, but when everyone else was done last week, it really looked as though she had been! She’ll be making the local news soon perhaps as the last 87 year old to be done! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Well I had a reply from my MP today!! In the post, on expensive paper, first class mail! only took him a month to give the stock answers 😤 I would have been happier with an email a bit sooner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
