so the little baby..shes a year old(dad sounded unsure??)..i would normally charge normal rate for (£3 per hour), the toddler will be part time so i would normally charge £4 per hour, plus food if he needs dinner before he leaves, which i assume he will(6.30pm)
this means(dare i say it dont want to speak too soon!!!??) £60 a week..£30 a week less than when i had two full timers but its not fuill time work and £60 per week is £240 a month to pay off this flipping holiday????oooooooooooooooo...ive got everything crossed

cool Lonneytune, yeah we'll support each other eh?..youll be busy but youll be earning mroe again.
jsut called our toy libary as i hire my double buggy from them to ask to maybe renew hire term)(fingers crossed) and whilst chatting she said they also have travel cots to hire(all are like new, if anything dirty/broken they replace immediatly)..and...the girl who i deal with is 21 weeks pg and she said although very very early days...she would like me to have her baby as she has to go more or less straight back to work and was saying last night to her dh that she didnt want to put baby in nursery!..she only lives two roads away from me..so although many moons away, she is also pencilling me in..keep em coming

crace · 16/02/2007 14:45

Great! Well done to you both!

Good luck

looneytune · 16/02/2007 14:31

Well done I had someone round on Wed, someone coming today and another coming on Tues next week. Had a call about half hour ago too but said I'd call them back after meeting today.

So, there was me worrying like MAD but fingers crossed something comes out of these visits!

One is for Mon & Tues, another for Mon-Thurs, another for Wed & Thurs and a Mon-Fri after nursery run. So, a few of them could work out well, just need to make them want ME!!!!

Good luck SS, let us know how you get on. We're both in the same boat at the moment so could support each other?!
