Hi anyone who is also sad like me!

been on EYFS info meeting today, everyone was scared about paperwork etc..dont see the prob?, its just another course, we are all already doing it all, just need to tweak it a little!
Lots of people winging about the paperwork, well yes there is lots, but not with this course so shut up and give my ears a break!

anyway, i start at end of month and the best aprt yet, just for doing it(and its a funded course) i also get £200!!!!! to buy 'supplies' with, has to be for cming, but can be anything like new pcarpet for playroom etc!(mine will be double buggy, art stuff and garden toys!)..so very pleased about it, ate some lovely danish pastries and drank posh tea

The fees aren't for NCMA are they? I thought they were for Early Years and for Ofsted?? I thought NCMA were trying to stop them doing it??
Or am I just losing the plot more than normal?

I'll talk to you poppet. How long is DH away for?

Yo people! You could put your £200 towards your NCMA membership for next year! I like being sad. I'm happy sitting here on me computer. I've also chatted to my 8 year old mindee on the phone. He wanted the website address for one of the sites I use for colourings and I've done a shed load of printing for Rainbows. Happy days. I'm 40 next Sunday, that bothers me a bit! [Eeek!]
