Oh Nooooo!!!

Ofsted coming

I was planning on tackling EYFS next week, after NVQ stuff finsished, need to update policies, implement EYFS, give house a good going over. Argh!

Morning all.

Hope Ofsted come today shoshe! The waiting around for them is the worst part! And how lovely that DH is coming home earlier than thought

Hope DS goes to nursery ok for you Sammy!

I am taking mindees out this morning with a couple of other minders. I am finishing early today too as am off out to the theatre in London later with some people I used to work with before minding! Can't wait to do something 'adult' (although seeing Grease doesn't really count as 'adult' really )

Morning everyone. Hope you get your inspection out of the way today. At least you can look forward to your DH coming home.

Has anyone any other ideas what crafts to do for Guy Fawkes night other than painting and making rockets. Bearing in mind it has to be suitable for 3 under 5's.

Hope you all have a good day

Hi everyone.

Morning everyone.

Sounds like it might be the morning Shoshe. In 1 way I do hope so as they ask you to carry on as if they are not there but when you normally go out for the morning how is it normal to keep the mindees in all day until they visit!

I have brought in lots of hot chocolate to share as I am still trying to shift this cold.

Yipeeeeeeeeee DH has been away a month in Germany, was expecting him home late tonight, he has just phoned to say he is on the M25!!!!

How much do you want to bet he will get home as the Inspector turns up!

Morning!

The waiting must be a real pita, Shoshe. I hate that part!

DS has already had a screaming fit about not wanting to get up. He is 4 so needs more sleep obviously. I reckon I may go to bed tonight with him at 7!

Tulip31, I am busy updating my policies too, with a view to getting my SEF done.

KatyMac · 05/11/2008 07:26

Calm, calm

It will be over soon

Busy day today

tulip31 · 05/11/2008 07:19

Morning, thanks for the update abba - haven't turned the tv on yet!!

Coffee on, expresso for shoshe to keep her going!! Bacon, eggs, fried bread (not having a healthy day today), tomatoes, mushrooms......

Thank you for all of your help yesterday with the policies. I finally got it sort of finished at 11pm last night, and then the printer ran out of black ink, so off to tesco this am to get ink, paper, files etc etc etc. Only good thing is that I'm not working today until 3pm , so am going to do bits with ds3 and 4!

AbbaFan · 05/11/2008 07:05

Morning all

I have a new mindee starting today, and have no idea how im going to concentrate. I am so excited about Obama, and keep crying

If your inspector comes today, she may well be so happy that you get an outstanding, Shoshe
