My Daily Sigh. Morning. For the first time I’ve gone for gold. It’s Christmas, so I’m hoping with all the preparations my nails will last. For the first time I have Christmas bedding and sadly, no panto to go to. Not for the first time, I’m feeling chilly, my body temperature is all over the …
My Daily Sigh. Evening, Christmas has arrived! Yesterday I ate my first Christmas dinner, pulled my first cracker and donned my first Christmas hat of 2018. Today we performed our final show of the ‘Inn Spectors’ Nativity. The donkey sang the blues and did his Elvis Presley dance to huge cheers, the star angel twinkled …
My Daily Sigh. Evening, my Monday might have had a few moments, but I had the joy of finally seeing my winning raffle hamper! What a selection box of beauty goodies, an added bonus of a bottle of pink fizz to help me on my way and £30 worth of Indian Takeaway vouchers. Christmas has …
My Daily Sigh. Evening, Christmas has come early. Not only am I mid Nativity rehearsals, I have just purchased my first Christmas present and these battered old hands with short stumps have had some festive cheer applied to them this evening!

Apparently, small children with good language need to learn 8 NEW words every day. I’ve …
Hello, October is the time when you go looking for pumpkins. We went looking and had a nice day out, but didn’t quite find what we were hoping for! Honestly Fiona xx
My Daily Sigh. Afternoon, when BM says he’s purchased a new steamer and son number one looks excited you know both brains are at cross purposes. Son might be concerned about the sugars and preservatives in an animal diet, but steamed vegetables is not yet high on his desirable list. A voice steamer however, was! …
My Daily Sigh. Evening, you can always count on small children to give you a reality check. Queuing up for lunch and one child looked at my badge and said “is this you in the olden days Mrs * ( ‘olden days’- isn’t that a time when you had a horse and cart?) He continued… …
My daily Sigh. Evening. It’s always good to check spelling when you are a teacher, missing one letter from a word can be crucial. Our support staff read the planning but there was an ‘o’ missing from the word ‘counting’. They weren’t entirely sure of their task. . . Evening, Friday was reached and I …
