I can't believe it is already a month since the last TTS giveaway. How time flies, especially as we hurtle towards Christmas at breakneck speed. In every setting I have been into recently, there has been a slightly frazzled looking teacher in the hall shouting 'Slow down and speak up'!
This week I also confirmed that there will definitely be an ABC Does... Australia tour this summer. I have been asked to be a keynote speaker at the Inspired EC conference (details here) out there in August and am going to be delivering ABC Does conferences and training for the 4 weeks leading up to that all over Australia. All of the details of 'what' and 'where' will be on the Inspired EC website. I am looking forward to finally meeting some of my Australian blogging buddies!
Now for this months giveaway...
Last month it was a till, this month it is a tool kit - and a bit gorgeous it is too!
To stand a chance of getting your hands on it, all you have to do is...
Leave a comment on this blog post and/or on my Twitter account (@ABCDoes) and/or the ABC Does Facebook page. You need to do this before midday on Saturday 7th December 2013. As always, I will use a random number generator to pick the winner. Good Luck!
Two funny things happened to me in the last couple of weeks. The first was in the staffroom of a school (which shall remain nameless). I was shown into said staffroom and asked to wait for the Early Years Coordinator. There was only me and two other members of staff in there, and they were sitting at the opposite end of the room (the room wasn't big).
In a whisper that should have been quieter, one said to the other 'Who's he?' The other one replied 'He's the bloke for Early Years' to which the first one whispered (with some indignance) 'Him?! She said he was dead fit. He's not fit!' At which point they both got up and left.
Funny on so many levels, not least that anyone would describe me as 'dead fit'!
Anyway, that same week TTS contacted me to ask if they could give me away in their new catalogue.
If you order Early Years resources before the end of January you stand the chance to win me. This would be for a days EYFS consultancy you understand, it is not some male escort business that they have set up (which is probably just as well as I am not 'dead fit')!
Look out for the 2014 catalogue for all of the details.
Have a great week. Remember, it's only a Christmas play! (Deep breaths and count to 10!)
Good luck with winning the tool box.
I am off for a spray tan, botox and a collagen peel!

I can't compete with Rebecca's invitation! But would love to win the toolbox, I can see the girls being as enthusiastic as the boys to play with such a beautiful resource.

I'm the nutter from Stockport who asked you to write "I love you" in your book. Wondering if anyone else has ever done this? Obviously this was because of your amazing "fitness" and not because you had totally inspired me to make huge changes to our setting. Would love the wooden toolbox- perhaps engraved with a special message this time?
