Be Excellent To Each Other

Jesus why won't these wings just be COOKED already?!

You should get a takeaway.

You should eat in the pub

does the pub deliver?

I should have eaten in the pub. There's a massive bowl of wings and a smaller one of chips in the kitchen that I just cannot face eating.

And I ruined one of our posh Japanese knives while cutting the wings up. Fuck.

Meta data means we worked out who it was and M is under instruction to pooh in their shoes. We think she understood as she ran round in circles and used an imaginary hair dryer for a bit. MrsA reminded nursery if their duty of care and how she prefers M unbitten and used her serious voice so now the dogs are howling at the moon. We'll see how it goes. In other news, we have the services of the grumpy solicitor to handle the house stuff and £400 for an equity transfer all in is pretty good as £60 of that is hearing about the state of the conveyancing industry.

No, just wings

I mentioned this to my wife who is a teacher and she said you should get Ofsted involved. The fact it's happened before, several times, means that the nursery aren't doing their job properly.

It's making me angry just thinking about it.

Nah, just wings and burgers and stuff.

Fuck you, DavPaz!

Rather than go in with guns blazing and threats of Ofsted, ask the nursery to give step by step plans to deal with this. Ask if the parents of the child doing the biting have been informed and if they are working with the child to reach and intervene.

Read this for a basic understanding of why children bite: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a1022215/bi ... t-it-age-2

Don't jump to conclusions as to which child is to blame or misjudge the parents. They are likely to be very upset and worried, and need support, too.

Slightly related, but with a different outcome, my sister almost lost her then job as a childminder for a C List celebrity because my nephew bit the C lister's child. C List did not want nephew to be near her child any more, words were said, names were called, tears were had. Then C-List's child was bit by her cousin as well. Nanny cams showed C-List child biting her own arm. Bites were always on arm, always self inflicted. Much apology, then C-List child started biting nephew. They are tricksy little buggers. But eventually close observation, learning and understanding helped put an end to it.

Much love to your wee'an. She's a beautiful little poppet xxx

Malia, have you checked if M is biting her own nose?

I did say right at the top that it was only loosely related due to an obviously different outcome, so I was not suggesting that in any way.

It was just a joke, silly head.

Just point the kid out and I'll get Josie on it:

That's a fantastic photo!

It's a quandary. I need to have the confidence that steps taken (1 to 1 attention to the biting child, remove her if she is showing signs) to prevent this will be adhered to. If it does happen again, then there is a further (fifth) failing in a duty of care there, and we would have to reconsider our options.

I think going to OFSTED could sour the relationship if done too soon, but that doesn't mean we would not consider that option. Currently, we'll see what happens with this new regime and keep asking for updates. If we think need to remove M, which we don't want to do, we will. Obviously, the best solution from my point of view is to remove Bitey, but we cannot make that decision to do so, and pressing for it would be counter productive at this stage.

For the love of God, who thought that this was a good idea for a corporate mascot?

Ronald McDonald looks like Cilla Black

Yesterday, I spent a good portion of time sewing a hem in a red curtain to be used in a statue unveiling today.

The event for the unveiling all went well and my curtain was even shown on the BBC 24 hour news channel.

I'm proud.

Sew cool

No puns in this thread, please.

Yeah, button it

Why do you have to needle me about it?

Just stop, darn it!

This is bobbins.

I'm so tired of puns. *yarn*

(Am I doing this right?)

Tacky.

I think we should put a pin in this for now.

Yeah, let's sew this one up.

I'm knit finished!




Now I am

You're knot funny.

Rutlands or Amazon sell them.

Hell, anybody who has decent kitchen knives should have one, they're brilliant at keeping knives as sharp as when you bought them.

"You know they found water on Mars?"
"Yes.."
"This water...is it hot or cold? Like a spa? Is Mars like a spa? Like Bath?"
"I...I..don't have those answers..."

No. No idea, either

I took lumps out of the edge. It needs a proper visit to the hospital.

Next time please just aim straight for Bono.

Ha!

That gizmo does actually look pretty groovy. Thwnks dbsnappa.

POTW!

Ooh, you're on (unforgettable) fire Meems

I'm off to see the last ever public display by the Vulcan Bomber today. The weather looks perfect for it at the moment, but I'm going to be very sad to see it grounded in a few weeks.
