And BINGO! I just had a memeber of staff mention Martin Lewis and holiday pay!!! I had to point out they'd all been paid the full amount - but it may go down now though.

To be honest the weather has been so mild my brain thinks we are now starting the summer term! 🙀😳😂!!!

Afternoon every one. After a full on morning of 'arts and crafts' I am now about to lay on the sofa for a short nap! Back to work next week, and I have mixed feelings, I'm actually looking foward to a bit of routine - but I think that's down to the awful weather at the moment. Have a good weekend all x

............ disney princesses anyone???????? 😭😭😭!!!!!!!

We went with Pyjama days a good few years ago now- much less stressfull (and competative!) we encourage bringing a favorite book in. We also have a big box old 'old' books that children can take home and keep or return. We actually find this box also receives books back form parents to share- as it never gets to empty! We are quite lucky that we seem to have quite a few free/swapping books schemes going on in our area so most children do have access to books they can bring in if they don't have them at home. Also- the thing about PJs is even if you do end up buying a new pair for the day- at least it's something that will get full use! (saying this as grandparent that has just bought a new pair for GD for this very reason 😂😂)

I feel the need to say my washing machine plan appears to have paid off... 😳 I just walked away for 24 hours, and now (touch wood) it appears to have stopped leaking, very strange!

Do not feel guilty- you obviously did need it 😁 Just to add my two-pen'erth ... I've not done anyhting much for the last two days! When can you come and fix mine! 😳 Just walked out to find a small pool of water in front of it. My plan is to not use it again today- and hope by tomorrow it will have fixed itself? Scones are always a good idea 😊 Activities.... what kind are you looking for? In this house 'arts and crafts' has always been a top choice, if not that then playing tea parties- you can combine that with cooking if you are feeling kind- and do not wish to just lay on sofa whilst being given 'cups of tea and cake' 😂 Just going out for walks is possibly one of the best- either on a nice sunny day, or jumping in puddles if raining. ☔🌧️. Note: arts and crafts = cutting, gluing- old cards, sequines etc. (glue sticks are good as they dry quickly at this age) collecting bits from a walk and making a picture painting - if I'm in the mood for the mess it creates felt pens seem to go down better with the younger age as they get more colour with less pressure than a pencil - but you can't take you eyes of them for one second whilst they have a flet pen in their hands... also this does not work well if you are 'precious' about your pen lids!😂😂

I found a strange youtube clip of granny vrs floor is lava.... seems this is a 'thing' 😳😂 ... then i found some rather unflattering balaclava's made using 'granny squares' 😂 I did find some nice/interesting pictures when I searched for 'ladies balaclava' though.

I just tried googling...... an interesting 20 mins 😂😂

HL- I need a grannyclava in my life! I shall wait patiently for photos of the flowers. SD - Colouring! How could l forget colouring!!! Your GD is a little older than mine I beiieve......... has she passed the stage to telling what part you can colour and which colour you can use!? 😂😂 xx

Morning all! Half-term Yaayyyy!!! (Well I guess mine started Wednesday really) Busy week here- elderley neighbour had a very bad turn but refused to go to hospital.... however, thankfully is now settled into the local community hospital 🙂 Sunnyday did you have a fun 'nanny sleepover' did you do arts and crafts, cooking or dancing? These are our usual 'go too's' for me - although she has just discovered 'duck, duck, goose' which is interesting with just two people (for some reason grandpa always seeems to be asleep when that's played! 😂) Hoglet- how did the crafting go? Did you manage to get the felt daffs completed? Anyone else got anything interested planned? (or completed last week) Cx

Happy 21st!! 🍰🥂

At least it's not actually raining here today- just grey and damp! Have a fantastic sleepover tonight.😊

I very nearly bought myself a cutting maching just so i could make felt flowers- I had to give myself a serious talking to! 😂😂😂

I love felting!!! I haven't done it for a good few years though. I bought myself a resin kit- not my normal kind of thing at all 😳, but I'm totally fasinated by the whole thing. (although part of me thinks I shouldnt be added plastic cr** to the world 😢, my usual hobbie/crafts are genrally more environmently friendly! x
