Congratulations KatyMac's daughter Grin

Thanks should really read small print more, this makes much more sense to the OP. Thankyou for explaining.

WoofToYouTooLady · 14/09/2011 18:20

redglow the CM club is where one of us starts a thread, to chat amongst ourselves, although of course anyone can join in

threads not entitled CM Club are more likely to be asking questions that parents/other care providers as well as CMs can help with

It sounds a bit complicated but it's not really

No it's just our 'staff room' so we can talk about work & life with others who understand the issues involved in being a childminder

Well done to your daughter. Given she does not do ballet, does that mean she will be doing something like Modern / Jive or will it be more a mixture of dance types?

Great news Katymac :)

And to those who seem to have a problem with her coming into the childcare section to mention not childcare related topics, it's already been explained that we childminders are her friend but not everyone uses facebook and even if they do, not everyone knows who everyone is in RL iyswim.

Nothing wrong with you posting this Katy, really pleased for you both :)

popcornchicken · 14/09/2011 09:31

Wouldnt facebook be better if these people are friends etc?

crystalglasses · 14/09/2011 09:04

Congratulations to your dd but how did she manage it if she doesn't do ballet?

popcornchicken, Most of these guys are my friends and colleagues; this topic is my equivalent of the coffee machine/water cooler/break room. Those of us working alone need to have adult contact sometimes and MN offers us this.

Fortunately she will be living at home, so I will have some control over her diet but it is an aspect that worries me.

Squeee!!!!

popcornchicken - KatyMac has posted it here, because we all know her for her work (and fab advice) in childcare.

BikeRunSki · 14/09/2011 08:30

That's fabulous, what an opportunity.
My sister tried, after years of ballet lessons, and didn't make it.

Best brush up on Billy Elliott!

popcornchicken · 14/09/2011 08:30

Well done however they are very strict about weight. my best friend got in and become anerexic. Is there not a better thread this can go on on as not to do with childcare.

WoofToYouTooLady · 14/09/2011 08:19

oh wow Katy, well done DD

redglow · 14/09/2011 08:16

So pleased for your daughter maybe munsnet should put a boasting thread on so we can all boast about our children.
