		<description><![CDATA[I am so very tired. I don't think my gang know how tired I feel. Our term is finished. I have a to-do folder on my desktop. My course is also nearly finished too. I have had my performance review and a visit from Ofsted. The glory is there for all to see, bigger than one person. Up from the ashes. I KNEW it could be done. Never say never, you can always turn a setting around with enough will. <br /><br />The team astounds me in it's strengths. I feel like I will stay forever. I have off days when I feel like I am everyone's runner, but I'm an upright kind of girl. I like being a team leader.<br /><br />Have a good holiday and be proud of the work you do with the citizens of tomorrow. No job is more important. During the holiday I will be getting my head around the EYFS, not yet though. I just want a lie in. Imagineers need that kind of thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[what to do really .. this is a great bit of blogging software & has given me a lifeline discipline I never thought possible ! <br /><br />It is by far the most user friendly control panel in comparrison to my other experiences of WP & eBlogger  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> but seems it may be time to move on .. I kick started a sort of blog elsewhere on the sad thought that this might happen & can only suggest that for anyone who has popped in over the past year & would like the new address to send an email & I'll return it with a link...  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />  <br /><br /><!--coloro:#666666--><span style="color:#666666"><!--/coloro-->ETA: <i>bah humbug </i>  ;-) lol<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><br /><br />Will greatly miss the chit chat & excellent company of everyone around here ... <br /><br />xx]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well it's my turn for the 'notification tomorrow .. will sit back, wait & see. The thread going in the lounge is pretty inconclusive so this may be the last blog or not  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> <br /><br />Managed to get one resource up & running today & was gutted to find I was stumped at extending it for a slightly wider income margin ... next mission will be to find out a bit more on investors & what that would involve  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.google.co.uk/doodle4google/" target="_blank">Doodle for Google</a></b> is running again this year - Deadline for 27th July 2007 ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The storm has been incredible again today - caught the bus into town for swimming lessons and it was turned away from the the main drop off due to the rain swelling the drains & lifting the roads  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> <br /><br />Have been browsing through smilies & emoticons online .. some of them are soo cool  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />  this piccy was amongst them ...<br /><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/koheleth153/emoticons/image002MA11060696-0002.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /><br />Sweet <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /><br /><br />was also rather taken with this one ..<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/Amanda9442/emoticons/hijacked.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> <br /><br />I like guides & sensible rules .. well ones that are flexible enough to incorporate commonsense and individual circumstance, I also see them as vital for protecting other people and the children .. not knowing is to throw caution to the wind, I'd rather know, ask and amend than stumble around in the dark ... although that's quite a familiar place  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> lol<br /><br />Wonder what the skies will bring tomorrow ...]]></description>

Ds has decided to test a few boundaries lately .. I'm glad in some repsects - he is very easy going and quite unrousable so to experience a tantrum & bout of defiance ensures he'll be able handle the larger implications of anger later !<br /><br />Still getting a little miffed at repeating myself 20 times before recieving a response though  <img src="http://www.earlylearningforums.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="&lt;_&lt;" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /> <br /><br />Work has got away from me today - social and networking elements have been to the fore & whilst they are most important to me they don't seem to encourage the pennies to roll in .....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have this friend, Red. Loyal, honest, understated. Red is a whizz with children, nothing phases her. She steels herself in the face of adversity. I saw Red today. I have not seen her for quite some. It is good, just hanging. I don't get a lot of time for that any more.<br /><br />My 'Getting to know you! Getting to know all about you!' phase is morphing into a different one. Not sure what. I love my job. Does everyone loved their job this much? I worry though, worry for certain children, worry how to lead. I aspire to do better with leadership. I am a novice, the shoes don't feel quite like my own yet. Did I get this job because no-one else wanted it? In dark moments I wonder that.<br /><br />Wanda continues to pull white rabbits out of hats, metaphorical ones. I walk the line. I become oppressed with paperwork. My tangible eveidence of doing stuff! I am Jack of All Trades, I do cleaning and DIY, I do it badly and no-one notices. I clutter. I clutter therefore I am.]]></description>
