Tuesday Staff Room : Lots Chocolate on Offer

[Shoshe]

AS we officially now think Ofsted is a Crock of S*.

Come on girl, doesn't matter what that bit of paper says, we know, and more than that YOU know you are a brilliant CM.

And unfortunately another one who has now decided to give up.

What happened with Sammyk??

No choc for me,i am having scan today so not allowed food or drink. I am dying without my coffee!!!

Have a look in yesterdays Staff Room Gal. She had a terrible Inspection.

Are you OK, what is the scan for?

Mmmmmmmmmmm where is Four, has she overslept AGAIN

Checking my gallbladder. Have had several attacks which may be gallstones

Shitting myself in case i need an op. You know the how can i take time off thing
Will have a look at Mondays staffroom.

Morning,

Come on Samy the lounge is open. Hot chocolate, chocloate twists, etc etc etc in the staffroom.

I have name changed, its Tulip31 but now mumsanutter!! Thought this was fairly correct for me!!

Wish I could over sleep - 5.30 on the dot ds3 and ds4 are wide awake!!

Ouch Gal, bet that has been painful.

Sometimes you HAVE to take time off. Your Health comes first.

Gal, look after yourself. You must put yourself first. {{hugs}}

Jeez poor Sammyk

That's the thing isn't it? No consistency amongst inspectors. I bloody hate mine. Nit picking old witch!!!

Yep v painful. Have waited since 28th of August for my scan which i was meant to have within 6 weeks

Doc said waiting time for the op is 6-9 months so wont be anytime soon.

Have been ok because i watch my diet all the time. Not much fun on a night out tho lol

Tulip, pmsl love the name

i'm here! i'm here!
where's the coffee
did not oversleep, though I am now a little late - been lurking in AIBU.

You'd think that I was not having sleepless nights worrying about when OFSTED is about to call.

Can someone please knock some sense into my head and tell me that there is nothing I can do about it and they will call when they do. it is better for me NOT to be worrying at frigging 4 in the morning about phone call that could be months and months away.

SammyK, you're lucky to have that inspection out the way! And your NVQ! What a relief that must be.

Four! Stop worrying! What will be will be, as Sammy and mine Inspection show, it will depend on the will and whim of your Inspector, not how and what you do!.

yes, i know, shoshe. always been a worrier. rather a warrior than a worrier but hey ho.

another moan if I may, i know what i have to do but gggrrrrrr.

DH gets 4 year old DS up and dressed. i have said DS should ideally be downstairs and dressed by 7.40 at latest so he has time to have breakfast. i have children arriving 7am, two at 8 and one at 8.15.

it is now 7.56 and DS and DH are having a battle of wills trying to get DS dressed.

i have enough to do in the morning (like chat on MN!!!) without having to do DS as well.

But to get him down for breakfast in time, i am going to have to sort him out too.

Today he will be down well after 8 and i have to leave for school run at 8.20. No time for breakfast. Peanut butter sandwich in the car AGAIN.

Morning everyone.

After all the wind and rain yesterday the sun is out with lovely blue sky .

We are off to music tots this morning and only 3 school runs today as 2 of my mindees have swapped to thursday this week as it's the older 1's birthday today.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

morning all!..crappy start to the day, was told by mindee mum "x wont be coming until 7.30 tomorrow instead of 6.30"..great, bit of an extra lie in....mindee and mum arrived 6.35 banging on door!!!..dd had just woken us up anyway, but jumped out of bed, flung on dressing gown and said mindee wasnt due till 7.30?..mum said No i said TOMORROW!...YES...YESTERDAY you sadi TOMORROW..which is TODAY!!!!!!!..harrrgghhh..so mindee watched nickjr while i got rid of the breath of a 1000 camels and tidied the birds nest up!..thank god im just doing school run, 2 hours this afternoon, then few hours after school again!..im all off kilter now!

Anyway, am going to scour tinternet for some polo shirts today hopefully get logo/name on?...any suggestions of were??

Chick I did my polo shirts (bought from Ada, get a bigger size they shrink) and some transfer paper from PC world, printed it straight from the PC, and Ironed them on!

Chick,

My friend does embroidery on tops etc and she does all mine look here

Chick, were you sending out copies off risk assessment? If yes, please could I have some? I am getting really stuck with format, wording etc (tanya at tanyastots dot co dot uk) Thanks

hiya chick, yes i ahd the copies and was emailing them..will send them to you and the others i missed last week and will try and get some more scanned today before/after mindee has been.x

hmm.i cant get your friends site from that link??

Hi everyone, feeling very jaded today.
I am in a 'why bother' mood which I am hoping I will snap out of when the caffeine kicks in.

Apparently 22month old mindee said to mum this morning 'can we go to Katie's now please' - Yes he is very clever, and very sweet!

Thanks for your kindness everyone, will come back and read through posts properley in a bit.

come on chick, even if you do start to poner WOH, you do REALLY know you work bloody hard at what you do and i dont know WHAT but something MUST be done about these pathetic inspections, theyre all WRONG and as long as these people keep working to their 'own' rules none of us will get anywere!

Sorry pink, forgot 3 letters and hence link didn't work try this one

Come on Sammy, we all know and you do too that you work really hard at this and you and the children love it really. A friend of mine told me that the inspectors are only allowed to give out a certain number of goods and outstandings so if you get them afterr they have hit their quota then you don't stand a chance!!! Just ris e above it, you know that you are brillient

thanks just emailed her as i cant see much on the site, so hopefully she will let me know costs soon.thanks again

aGal - hope your scan goes ok, sometimes you have to put yourself first, before bills and mindees parents.

PC - what a bad start - hope mum was embarassed by her mistake!

mumlove - like the sound of musictots, hope you all had a nice morning

shoshe - thanks

mumsanutter - I think I would die if I got woken up at that time every morning

No4 - with four kids your DP needs to be as on the ball as you and keep up his end of the morning tasks, give him a stern talking to

Feeling a little better now, took DS and mindee for a chocolate treat

Well i do have gallstones and rather a lot of the buggers!!

Oh well at least it's not something really awful eh?
