  • Unfortunately not - we used to, and we used to have an earlier start which i think was better! Now we all sit in the hall and parents turn up anytime between 5 and 7. To be fair, I do only have 10 in my class and 2 of them have asked to see me when they pick their child up in the week.
    Doesn't matter how many you have if you have to sit there til 7 on the off chance. I know its probably directed time, but still...why can't they make appointments?

    Morning everyone.

    You all know me well enough now to know I'm rubbish with abbreviations ... what's BD mean - not on front page?

    Loving catching up with all the stories.

    Froddy, that's quite strange. All the parents evenings we've been too have been mobbed busy. I think it's rare that a parent doesn't turn up.

    Am on a short day today, so hopefully going to get my flying done this afternoon, and then out this p.m.

    Diva, thanks for the weetabix recipe, I was intrigued too. I love malt loaf, so will happily give this a go.

    Made Toad in the Hole for the first time ever last night, and that went down very well, except I think I put in too much batter, will reduce it next time.

    Have a great day everyone x

    BD = Black Dog and is a euphemism for depression. Someone wrote a book once describing depression as a black dog that kept sitting at his feet or wanting to come in through the door and the ways in which he tried to get rid of him.

    Depends which thread you are on. Here it generally means Black Dog, meaning depression (after Winston Chruchill).

    Some threads it means Baby Dancing (antidote to depression!!)

    Ahhh, thanks - someone on last weeks thread mentioned black dog and I thought it was a referral to the Grim in Harry Potter, which turns out to be 'good' anyway. I guess I wasn't hugely far wrong.

    Well in that case Piggers, I hope your day goes better than expected x
