Had a guy turn up one day looking for a Pharmacy conference - that happened the day before:D

We invited him to stay though.....


................ and I had a teacher once who swore he would never use the techniques as they were "childish" who got caught out later in the week dancing on his table teaching the kids about the solar system.

He got caught because his kids gave him a standing ovation BTW.

So I sent him some juggling balls and told him to keep playing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I could never remember which fog light was front & which was back as buttons weren't clear. I spent ages trying to work out how to remember top = back. Then I thought of the other combination: bottom = front.

I reckon I can remember 'front bottom' :rotfl:

One of the best ways to create strong memories is to use humour - I think you've cracked it :rotfl:

Holy Cow!

I have been trying for the past week or so to get to the end of the thread...finally made it only to find out I was reading the old one not this one!! I knew it was too good to be true!:p

Now can someone tell me is the great football shirt hunt still on? If so I should be able to get some people on board.:D

If anyone sells things online pop me a pm and I will give you the email address of the nice lady who runs the local NHS Trust website, she will advertise your website on the 'intranet' as long as you offer a discount to NHS workers (any discount is acceptable but looking through the ads I see about 10% is the norm):)

I look forward to catching up with this thread sometime in the next few years, although I have to warn you hubby already thinks i'm having some sort of on-line afair as I have hardly spoken to him over the last week or so, so intent I was in catching up!:o

Big hugs

Yes we are still collecting shirts the deadline is supposed to be 25th November but we have yet to finalise shipping. We also have a list of nationwide collectors for any shirts you can't collect personally.

Further details are on facebook search kits for kids

LOL - well MG if you're ever in any doubt as to how to spell "necessary" - just remember that you should:
Never
Enter
Church
Eating
Spicy
Sausages
And
Raspberry
Yogurt

I learnt it a different way:

Never Eat Cakes Eat Salmon Sandwiches And Remain Young

I don't always follow that advice though

Lots of interest overnight and lots to think about.

Giving formal homework to primary school children makes me angry.
DD3 has a July birthday so started school when she was just 4 and was immediately expected to do homework (practise writing her letters). She is a strong willed person and either refused or took hours over it. Hours when we could have been doing something pleasant or useful. I complained to the school but the damage had been done and she had been turned off learning so by the time she was in high school she was 1 or 2 years behind and had labelled herself slow. However it's not all bad news fortunately 1)she's naturally bright 2) we talk about all sorts at home and analyse everything which gives her an advantage 3) she's talented at art 4) when she was about 9 she discovered Harry Potter and turned overnight into an avid reader.

I think my ramblings are saying do not despair if your daughter is difficult at 8, there is time for things to turn round naturally, keep talking to her and keep her reading.

KC - I'm another one where these ideas don't work for me, as you said it means remembering lots of extra bits. For me mnemonics only tend to work short term, but long term they vanish unless used regularly.

But everyone is different - it's what makes meeting people fun
