I have a weekend of dog walking and some decorating in prospect so busy but should be fun as long as the rain doesn't make a return visit 🤞

Hope you have a good weekend whatever you are up to xx

There’s a village in West Cumbria called ‘Prospect’.  Which bit did you decorate? 🤣🤣

Wowsers!  What an achievement, and how much has your baby evolved over the years!!!!  

It really is a bit wild out there!

Well, I didn’t get my walk in, nor have I quite finished the schoolwork but I did make marmalade, a loaf of bread and some butter! I feel very domesticated!

 

I hope you made good use of your buttermilk! 

Has anyone read ‘the salt path’? Recently recommended 

You should be able to find lots of good information from

https://www.eyalliance.org.uk    They have a lot of really good booklets etc and are always good for answering questions.   I was manager of a committee run preschool, with various different committee chairs over the years, not all of whom were ‘active in their role’ shall we say.   Good luck, and do come and ask on here if you’ve any queries.   

Sunnyday’s lovely village group did wreath making this morning, instead of knitting, and look what they made for her!  Isn’t it beautiful.   🥰🥰🥰

Just to say...

Mr S is through the op and in recovery, will be moved to HDU shortly as expected, thank you so much for all of your good wishes x

Fantastic news. Will keep you both in my thoughts xx 

Wow that’s clever! 

So, so exciting!   Something to brighten the dark winter months!  Have you got your knitting needles out? 

Hi, sorry you’ve been waiting such a long time for a reply.  There surely must be somebody on here from NI.  Do you still have to answer to Ofsted?  If you do, I’d suggest that they could be your best option if your Local Authority isn’t providing you with answers.   I suspect that tacking an additional hour on would be seen as 3 hours provision if the same children attended both.  
sorry I can’t be more helpful.  

Depends on your price point, I suppose.   Have you looked at Studio24?  

Fair enough!  Jane Eyre is my go to read.  Did it for O level and it’s actually the school stamped book that I own as they were chucking them out after our year as they’d not be cycling it round again.

My latest pair of socks. My first proper attempt at colourwork. I started them the first day of the summer holidays but it’s taken three attempts to get the tension right so I could actually get them over my foot! 

Flippin fantastic!

Late to the party again!   I’ve brought cake though, does that help?

I hope you had a fabulous day xx 

Ugh!  I can’t believe I didn’t do this!!  Such a lot going on at the moment, but that’s no excuse 😳😢☹️

So sorry Sunnyday ☹️😩.  Much love to you and hopefully this coming year will bring better health to all those you love and reduce your worry levels xxxxx.

Froglet hope you have a relaxing break and that the school TDL is very small!  I tried the first Richard Osmans book but just couldn’t get into it. My brother and sister in law rave about them.  

Glad it’s not just me 🤷‍♀️

I thought this might appeal to those of us familiar with risk assessment creating!

Missing our Panders 💔 we would have been busy discussing Strictly now...

I thought exactly the same.  Loved to discuss the scoring and predicting with her ☹️😢

Sending love and prayers for their success xx

Snap 😂

Although, new boiler means I have been focrced to sort the airing cupboard.... and I do seem to have far far  too many old towels and duvet covers!

Your local vet with appreciate the old towels. If there’s a Morsbags group near you they’ll probably love the duvet covers!

Inspectors are generally really used to working in these situations, and can often ask questions during quieter moments when you're still with the children but they're more self-occupied. If, during a conversation with the inspector, you feel you are needed by any child, or for any situation, don't hesitate to say 'I'm sorry, I just need to pop over there and....I'll be back as soon as I can'. This shows them that you are alert to what's going on and that your priority is the children, not the inspector! 

Yes, they work with childminders who are usually single-handed, so I’m sure they understand the need for your focus to be elsewhere 

Ugh I remember register rewrites!   I just did it all as an excel workbook in the end! 

Crikey it’s come round a bit quickly!   Granddaughter started back in school this week, Scotland.  Primary 4, so the equivalent of year 3.  I hope it’s a good one for her and stretches her a bit.  

I’ve harvested and cleared my rhubarb patch and given it a good top dressing of growmore and manure in the hopes that I’ll get a good autumn crop.   It generally works, so fingers crossed.  That autumn crop is always good for rhubarb and ginger jam!   Yum.
