Paperwork in the holidays

[onceinabluemoon]

How many of you use your 'holiday' to catch up with paperwork like learning journals etc?

I have set myself a goal to have all my paperwork absolutely top notch before the end of Christmas break. I have it in so many notes, or in my diary, and on stickers etc and want to get it all written up properly and start the new year afresh.

It's only me and my teens here so I can work away while they are still in bed in the morning, spend time playing games etc in the afternoons and get back to it in the evening when they are happily chatting to mates etc.

Am I the only person to be doing this or are there others like me out there?

I need to do my 2011-2012 accounts up to date! I normally spend the break catching up but now I am in a nursery I don't have any 'work' to do other than some idea webs for upcoming topics (don't have to but will )

Did think about getting my accounts done today as the boys out watching football but got it all together and gave up lol!

[Sarahbelle]

Me too!. Learning Journeys, Policies and risk assessments to update. End of year accounts and long term planning done. Have also got an assignment for accreditation to do and individual planning times 3 to do. Had yesterday and today off. Back to it tomorrow.

[AliceK]

Yep me too. Got to get LJ's up to date, planning folder up to date and get my accounts done.

I plan on catching up and being all up to date by new year.

Not looking at it all till Thurs, then cracking on as DH will be back at work and kids will be on laptop/Xbox/TV

I know I will feel better once it is done

[tashaleee]

You are definitely not alone... I have a 'lot' to be catching up on

[lozzy23]

I shall be catching up with paperwork, LJ's etc.

I still have children on Wednesday and Friday, although my full timer LO's parents are keeping him with them on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so have a child free day on Thursday, an ideal opportunity for catching up with paperwork.

[mum26]

Yep, me too. Have loads to do - will try to do some whilst mine are watching Christmas tv and in eves. Don't have children back til next Tues, so will try to make the most of this hol. Have accounts to do as well, yuk!

[Ripeberry]

Just got the accounts to do and pay for NCMA membership and Ofsted registration. I did all the L.Js and photos just before the Xmas break as I like to get them out of the way!

[amanda1309]

[solly]

Now I have just got to submit my TMA 2 I will be cracking on with getting my paperwork up to date today as am in hospital tomorrow having my carpal tunnel operation even though i could still write as am having my left hand done i don't think I will feel like doing much so will be making the most of being waited on and doing nothing

Need to do learning journeys - don't really mind them once I get started, but have my horrible tax return to submit - really, really hate that!

I have my inspection on 4th Jan so have been stressing about planning and paperwork and whatnot all over Xams - not fair. Glad I'm not the only one who is doing it over the holidays. I also have 4 new starters in Jan so need to get all their bits and bobs in order too.

Roll on my proper holiday in June where I shall be out of the country and nowhere near any paperwork!

I am not doing anything to do with childminding during my time off. I have made a New Years resolution that what doesn't get done during working hours doesn't get done. Well thats the plan anyway so we will see how long it lasts. The whole of last year was spent stressing about my Ofsted visit(which was fine by the way) & getting my stuff up to date. It made me that ill that I am still not better so never again.

You are not alone OIABM!

I have a pile of paperwork that needs doing but doubt very much if I will do all of it during the holidays. I have a day off when everyone else has gone back to work so it might get done then! At the moment I'm just enjoying my house being a child free zone!

I decided not to - holiday shouldbe just that. I am quite a control freak and would love to be all up to date but I really need time to be with my family

[Chatterbox Childcare]

I am catching up tomorrow whilst the house is quiet. Aim to be up at 8 and work until 1 and then have a rest

I need to do my LJ's, tax for 10/11 and 11/12 and generally sort out my office. Won't get it all done in 5 hours but a start I will make.

[wendywu]

Just done 4 summative assessments. Need to do Dec in my accounts, oh and pay my tax bill for last year.

LJ are always up to date, it worries me too much if they are not.
