Although ov...Hi Janet, don't recall having PFI. Although over the years we had many changes. Our site was unique in as much as we had three schools on the site. I worked in the Infants we had three year groups with 150 children in each year, five classes in each year group! There was(still is) a junior Girls and a junior Boys School and each school has its own Head Teacher. A few years before I retired we also opened a Nursery section, with another 150 part time places, plus a special needs class. I believe we were one of the largest in the country. Yes, quite a few changes, also the introduction of computers. Gosh how things changed.<br />LOL xxBrenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-52061405725177171442017-01-16T20:16:43.717+00:002017-01-16T20:16:43.717+00:00Hi all,

Have bought some dies and stamps from Craftworld on-line. Thinking of going to the NEC when that's on ,just for fun by train and of course Ally Pally in April and September so if you coming down Tracy, you must come and meet us nutters who are there hihi .I don't drive full stop but love going in the car so since OH retired he is busy being my chauffeur hihi<br />Pat- hope you had a nice time and meal at Toby's carvery, one of my favourites places to eat out.<br />Well it is evening once again so I wish you all a good night and hope to see you tomorrow xxxMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-84177695979269762882017-01-16T18:53:59.545+00:002017-01-16T18:53:59.545+00:00Hi Lilian

They had and still haven't had the extra inserts back in stock. We're off to the Toby Carvery in Swindon so I expect we'll do a detour over to Hobbycraft. I don't think Sue was very well on Friday so didn't get over to her Mums.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-74807074941609871972017-01-16T18:50:48.074+00:002017-01-16T18:50:48.074+00:00Hi Tracey

As I'm looking through the window now the skies are very heavy and very grey with more snow to come. Jim has to go out after breakfast and fill up all the bird feeders around the garden -he doesn't know yet hehehe but that will be his first job for today. I just might then let him sit infront of the log burner with his crossword/soduko books in his lap.lol.<br /><br />MICHELE- I can fully understand about you being nervous this morning but as soon as you walk through the door you will just start work as normal.<br />While I was still working we became part of an initiative called PFI (private funding initiative if I remember but it is quite some years ago Brenda did you have the same?) and we had to move out of our school buildings completely for a year. You can imagine the upheaval we had as we had 1750 11-16yr olds plus all equipment and administration etc. We had temp classrooms and a temp Admin Block on site. It was horrible and although at that time I'd already been working there for well into teens of years I really did not want to go to work that first week but as usual once through the door it was just the same apart from that we had things in storage containers which we had to raid frequently. Anyway Good Luck and Hugs xxxx<br /><br />BRENDA and LYNDA extra special HUGS for you two today. I really do hope that you start feeling better soon.<br /><br />I understand that Dobbie is behaving himself so the CAFE must be open for business as usual. Hugs to all of you xxxxjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769057785697422382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-37340434135614194562017-01-16T07:10:28.605+00:002017-01-16T07:10:28.605+00:00Morning Ladies

My plan is to go straight to my craft room this evening and make my challenge card. <br /><br />Silly but I'm nervous about going to work in the temporary location. There's nothing I can do as we're stuck there until Friday 10th March now, assuming there's no major problems !!<br /><br />Michele PharmacyMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613583130557825327noreply@blogger.com
