theherd123 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 My materinity leave started last week and ive just had an email today to say OFSTED are coming on the 24th! I know i shouldnt laugh but the timing has made me giggle a little! Mind you ive done OFSTED 5 times during my career so giving birth will be an overdue change!

Lisa Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Giving birth is a lot easier!!!! I thought my mum was mad when she spoke to me just before I left for the hospital and she said make sure you enjoy it!!! Mad woman I thought but I loved having my two kids - painful but unbelievable! However, I don't mind Ofsted either - maybe I'm just strange!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Lucky you! I got an email from a former pupil the other day who is now working in IT tech in a local school telling me Ofsted were coming in and talking about how stressful it is! Of course he's seen them before but never really understood why all the staff were so up tight. NEVER in all my working life have I been though anything nearly as stressful as an OFSTED. I'm sure giving birth wil be a breeze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Eat some fresh pineapple, it worked for me! It has to be fresh though, not tinned. And as for OFSTED, i think they should do surprise inspections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Happy Birthday Pam, Augustus Caesar, and Yvette Fielding. Is it going to be the Bean's birthday as well I wonder. Hope all goes smoothly whenever it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
