    Look... I've already explained I'm not competitive person, ......,.... and don't always follow the clues!

    I don't think he was RAF anyway

    (I may have already said this ?) I was going to pay 80% when this very first started (we were on high alert early) I based this on the likelihood of us returning after half-term. About 20-25 % are fee paying- this actually surprised me as I would have said less. Once we are passed the half term mark it will start to effect our funds. My thinking is I have 5 staff, so I could do 20% each, or my one staff at 80% ... which actually works out less- but easier on paperwork! If we had more I would have carried on paying our rent and other services we use, but that option has gone now.

    Douglas Barder. (He was stationed down the road from where I live )

    This is completely doing my head in. I'm actually thinking I always work at least one over ratio. Therefore I member of staff is extra and technically not being paid out of funding -so I can just claim for that member one of staff. That would save doing a small percentage off each staff member? (which works out more or less the same)

    I love how these things bring out the completeness in people I must be the least competitive person in the world, and I love being in my own little world

    I can see the thinking, it's the mixed messages and short notice that's annoying. We're a not for profit anyway, even if we did end up with a slight profit it would have gone to a good cause anyway. For us it was more to ensure we would still have funds to open in September. Hopefully we will be ok, but this is the first year we've actually had a small(very) amount of reserves, but fingers crossed it will be enough. Luckily this September is the first time we've had higher than normal numbers starting- just hope they don't all change there minds, AND the worst of this is over by September and parents have the confidence to send their children in.

    My brother?

    I don't really do Facebook as such. I'm on it, and I have five friends- 3 cousin spread far and wide, my elderly next door neighbour, and my daughter- after she got upset that I didn't include her... I did't until she was 100% committed to a relationship . I have nothing to show on my profile, and a distant shot photo on me aged around 2/3 ish! We were kind of forced to join when the LA more or less quit all support but recommended a few groups on Facebook! I do now find it a valuable resource. Obviously the village page is a must . We have a Facebook page for the setting- which the parents find hilarious as I'm so useless at adding bits etc. There a some really good early years support groups on there.

    Is 8 eucalyptus ?

    We started doing the drop off/chuck em out at the very start (re- one of the first deaths was in our locality) - this actually worked really well for us and the parents loved it! I think in Denmark some of the things in place are- Small classes- with social distancing in place (not sure how that works for us, but that said 'school' starts later in Denmark and maybe they're not talking the younger age? I haven't looked into that. The picture I saw had the desks all separated) staggered start times, to aid social distancing, and dropped of at door. Resources minimised and washed twice daily. hand washing hourly? (I might have made that one up!) Temperatures taken at regular intervals. Lots of outdoors - but in small groups rather than all out together.

    I think Essex is the next biggest . I know it was a one point, and we had a death in our local hospital very early on. Essex LOVES to rent out empty office blocks for housing overflows from London boroughs. They are disgusting places that no-one should be housed in , I'm sure this can't help the situation in Essex - the poor people are in one room, often with shared facilities.

    Just looked it up, and it seems they went into administration mid December So the closing sale down sale that's been going for three months was real.

    Have you seen the restrictions Denmark has in place? Only 10 children to a room - we'd be stuffed as we only have one big room- even if my other previous option went ahead it would be one MUCH smaller room.

    I'm jittery - our setting is being used for emergency rest area. Although I'm not sure this has actually been put into action yet. Not sure what will happen if we can re-open if they still need it though? There is another hall, very near that we could possibly use- but I would need to get ofsted approval first I have read somewhere that Ofsted are doing 'photo' reviews etc for registration visits, but not sure how quick they'd be able to approve anything.

    I kept getting those emails- I thought it was some kind of marketing ploy
  24. AnonyMouse_8282
    Yay I got them all right apart from the Compaq one - I thought it might have been the Q on the back of my car!

    I think I have all but number 2 - and I might possibly know that if I got up and looked at something I own
