Pauline- my cco liked your certificates!!

**Alibali** · 20-03-2009, 07:41 PM

She was looking at my CPD folder and I've got all my training certificates in there, my nursing and midwifery certificates and my degree, but she was most impressed with the 'discussion certificates' from on here

She said she'd never seen anything like that before and it proves that I am committed to my continual professional development!

So well done Pauline again, and thank you so much.

can i be nosey and ask what 'discussion certificates' are?

**Alibali** · 20-03-2009, 08:33 PM

There's a discussion groups area for green members and a few times a year everyone decides on a discussion topic and we spend the week sharing ideas about the topic.

Something else for you to look forward to

thanks for this, i spend a lot of time on the site, post count seems to be going up slowly, read more than i respond to though, as a lot of the time i feel that others have said what i would already!!!! I also feel a bit awkward commenting on the more personal posts as i am only just learning about people on here!! I am sure i will be around a long time, as i can type chat for hours and am addicted already!!

You've managed to put into words exactly what I've been thinking

Some names crop up all the time and sometimes I feel like the new girl at school and hang back from joining in the more personal posts ...silly really I suppose but I'm naturally quite shy

Don't be shy they really are a lovely bunch of people and will always be there for you through the good and bad whether it is childminding or personal. I found out who my real friends were last year (when I needed my best friend and she wasn't there for me) and they were all on here.

I know what you mean about commenting on personal posts as I struggle to find the right words but just usually send hugs anbd hopefully that is enough.

Join in and post lots your post may help someone even if you think it won't.

A word of warning though this site takes over your life - do you think ofsted will accept the reason I have not updated my policies is because I am always on here networking and trying to catch up on posts - hurry up post lots and you will soon be a green member and then thatis it you really will be on here 24 hours a day
