Part one above, new thread for when required x

lucysmam - I don't think your assessor will check the veracity of the accounts - just that you are competent about keeping accounts IYSWIM.

What expenses you do and don't charge to the unit is not the concern of the assessor.

I may be wrong, but no-one checked my accounts submisison against the master copy when I did my LQ.

Thank you MrsLeigh, I think I have worked out where my troubles came from.

I documented the Safeguarding training I did as our LiC told me that came from unit funds - it's not on her copy anywhere. And she is missing a sessions worth of subs plus a payment made to Brownies towards Christmas party refreshments as they organised it. I went through it all again today.

I can always print it off as is for the moment.

I want to pick your brains for a 'teddy bear festival'. Our Rainbows really want to do this activity and one has asked that we do it before half term when she moves up to Brownies.

We'll have certificates for various things, some variety of teddy shaped snack depending what I can find, maybe a Winnie The Pooh Story. I need a teddy bear friendly game or two but am stumped!

Best dressed teddy

Everyone puts their teddy in the same pile. Then, one at a time, each girl has to find her own teddy whilst wearing a blindfold.

get the girls in a circle, with all the teddies jumbled up in a pile in the middle.

You stand by the pile of teddies and pick up two at random and hold them in the air.

The two girls whose teddies they are have to run around the outside of the circle and back to their place. The first one back "wins" their teddy back.

Keep going until they all have their teddy back

(At brownies we play this with one of their shoes in the pile, they have to hop round on their still shod foot, to win their other shoe back!)

Ah fab, thank you. Albus, we have one or two who may not want to be blindfolded so maybe theirs at the bottom of the pile to root out first without and then blindfold for those who do want to have a go with it?

I'm just prepping the Food Homes activity from the Festivals Roundabout for Tuesday. Have any of you done this one? I'm wondering how well it went?

don't do rainbows any more, what does it involve?

The book activities involve sorting foods into ones that have been grown or come from animals. And seeing what comes from our country/others.

The "take it further" activity is whether they think the foods are healthy or not.

Am hoping these will be fairly quick.

I've added a "what's on my plate?" placemat to make their own dinner on. And then a game of fruit salad if we have time.

It's supposed to tie in with Harvest fest but not sure how many will make the connection.

We're doing free being me with a Peer Educator this week.

We're doing the speakers badge and brownie traditions this term X

That sounds fun Lucy.

I helped develop Free Being Me Groovee, I hope your girls get a lot out of it!

This term we are doing the Road Safety and World Guiding interest badges, and the Leap Day challenge badge.

Free being me night went well.

Knackered as I went back to work today.
Got to go and get Dd from Senior Section!

Well, I've enjoyed being in charge the last two weeks & got good feedback on my sessions from the girls. Just hope it continues when our outgoing LiC comes back next week!

Need to get my artistic skills in working order now...I want a big ish teddy bear drawing for pin (blutack) the bow tie on the teddy bear for our teddy bear evening!

Glad you are enjoying Lucysmam X

Can I have thoughts on my plan for our teddy bear evening? No-one's answering my bloody emails! & my mentor is coming to join in with us.

• teddy bear show & tell (must note bear & girl's names for certificates)

-quick crafts - bow ties and teddy bear headbands -pin (blutack) the bow tie on the bear -teddy bear snack & some teddy bear facts while they eat -Albus' game from upthread -certificates & goodnight rainbows

I'm debating skipping the snack & giving each girl a packet of Haribo gummy bears with their certificate.

Anything anyone would add or change? I'm just prepping it all now so can easily swap things about

Are haribos veggie? If you have any veggies they possibly cannot have.

Otherwise sounds fun.

Some Haribo are veggie and some are not, best to check.

Good thinking! I'm going to have a look for them at Lidl, was going to get my dad to pick something up but chances are if he can't find what I ask for specifically, he'll turn up with something random

Can anyone help? I have a new Rainbow but she used to go to the next nearest group to mine (meeting time became too late for her). I read something today on the internet about a quick way of using her original membership number on GO to get her details (without making parent fill them in again), I immediately emailed the other leader to get her number. Now I have her number I can't find what I read at all

Go into go

Then role management, click on the unit link and scroll down the page and there is a bit to add them with their name/number/DOB

You should be able to just put her number in and find her.

ooh excited you are playing my game Lucy, hope your girls like it as much as mine

Thank you Groovee! All sorted. Seriously, thanks again

I only recalled as I added my new brownies via their membership numbers that afternoon xxx

I'm on pack holiday and SIX of them are still awake even though I'm lurking in the middle of the room mumsnetting

Go to sleep cherubs, I've had a shitty week and need some wine. How to break it to this.relatively new team that my horrendous snoring gets worse when I'm knackered?

Did you eventually get some sleep Becles?

Oh beccles I feel your pain. Last pack holiday one lit were told off by me at 1am and they woke me at 5am!

Hope you got some sleep.
