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

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!]

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 20:38

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

southernbelle77 · 12/01/2008 20:40

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?

southernbelle77 · 12/01/2008 20:42

He's away til next Saturday
I know it's only a week, but it's the longest he has ever been away
I should be sitting here doing my accounts or something but I can't be bothered so just sat here instead!!

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 20:49

Sorry yes, that's what I meant! I was thinking back to the thread early, which was a letter for NCMA!

Don't do your accounts! Its Saturday night! Its the weekend thats the worst when their away isn't it? Weekdays seem to fly.

southernbelle77 · 12/01/2008 20:57

Is it me or has that thread disappeared?!

I know, he usually goes Monday back Friday morning and it isn't so bad as I'm working and kept busy etc. But he's horrible that he isn't here for the weekend. DD asking when he is coming back already

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 21:01

It has! I wonder why. Who started it, was it Henni? That's very odd, someone must have reported it. There was only a few on it. You, me, Shosh and Henni wasn't it? How very peculiar!

southernbelle77 · 12/01/2008 21:15

Yes there was and I can't see what was wrong with it personally
Who knows!

crace · 12/01/2008 21:24

Hi girls, it shocking really that £200 rubbish. I won't be able to afford it!

Orlando.. that's where me and DH met. Am an American, he's a Brit and we met at an company awayday in Orlando.

crace · 12/01/2008 21:25

Whoa girls, getting threads pulled! Well done

Kbear · 12/01/2008 21:27

Did someone mention Orlando???

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 21:27

Not sure why though Crace? It didn't seem controversial at all. Maybe someone who works for Ofsted pulled it? Was it Henni who started it? We'll have to ask her on Monday.

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 21:28

Er no! Bloody Orlando! I've been on my very first pulled thread! Ooh, I wonder if I've got an e-mail from HQ?

KatyMac · 12/01/2008 21:29

I emailed MN to ask why

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 21:29

Hey Kbear! Guess what, guess what!!

southernbelle77 · 12/01/2008 21:30

Why would someone from Ofsted pull it?! If they can't handle a bit of negative feedback they are in the wrong job ;)

Kbear · 12/01/2008 21:31

W O T?

Controversial childminders - Whatever next?

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 21:31

Very odd. We'll wait to see what Katy gets back.

Kbear · 12/01/2008 21:32

W O T?

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 21:32

I'm 40 in 6 days and 2 1/2 hours! Whatcha got me then?

Kbear · 12/01/2008 21:33

Big present.... Huge.

Kbear · 12/01/2008 21:34

I've given you over twenty years of my life, isn't that enough?

MaureenMLove · 12/01/2008 21:34

I only want something vintage. Kinda like 46'ish years old.
