the school in walking distance I mean not the cms!

KaySamuels · 14/05/2007 09:05

I'm in Hull, there are three cms that do my local primary school (only one in walking distance), one is full with littlies (she is lovely) charges 2.50, and one has a couple of kids (the poacher I mentioned on here before) charges 2.60 and has the most vacancies.

Morning everyone one.
crace - will be thinking of you today hun x

pinkchick - if I'm desperate I hang clothes on hangers in bedrooms to dry (on curtain rail, off bunk beds, door frames, etc)! I have no radiators and only the gas fire in my living room so have trouble drying things. Also have a clothes horse in my bedroom which I hate but need! (Don't childmind upstairs except for overnights so out of sight.)

I'm feeling a bit down at mo, need some new mindees as my paltry pay will go down considerably after this summer term. Need some biggies and littlies! Looking at what other people are earning and paying tax on has got me down too, I have never earn't over the personal allowance! Going rate here is £2.50 an hour, grrr - it's silly really as surely as the whole country earns above minimum wage we should all be on roughly the same hourly rate. In an ideal world that is of course.!

Hi Shosha, and all - had a pretty rough weekend, I have today off to go and have a scan for the baby - it's not looking good. Will spare you all the details, but I am almost positive it's over. I am ok though, will update you all when we know more...

mumlove · 14/05/2007 07:52
