Bleurghhh....

One of the hazards of teaching Reception children is the inevitability that I will pick up all the nasty lurgies that they carry around on their unwashed hands and coughed in my face germs!!! And this week I have picked up a real good one. On Monday as I opened the door at 9 o clock, I was greeted by at least 8 parents telling me that their children had had a sickness and diarrhea bug over the weekend...I lasted until 2:45 p.m and then I started and I can honestly say that I have lost the last 36 hours of my life down the toilet(Too much information!!!) At one point I was writhing in such a delirious state that i don't think I knew my name. Not such a good way to lose weight, but my PJ's are decidedly looser!!!
And we had had such a great weekend-it was our 1st Birthday crop on Saturday-we started last year with 16 scrappers and now we are bursting at the seams-there were 34 of us there-if we had any more tables we would be even bigger:)I took along my camera, but only managed to snap some photos of the girls playing reverse bingo...last one standing wins the prize!! The funniest thing about these photos is the dedication-even when they are standing up, the scrappers are still cutting out!!There is a real mix of people at the crop-mostly our own family and friends,and friends of friends-but also some people that we would never have met if it were not for this wonderful hobby. We have lots of ideas and plans for the next year-but we really do need to decide upon a name!!1
