Never been called up yet but thought i would also be 'on holiday' when it happens. Am sat here waiting to start work mindees mum called this morning to say wouldn't be here til 2.30 today and so I feel like i have had a day off but will hit me really hard when mindee arrives at 2.30 then another 2 are collected from school at 3 Prefer to have them all day than only half of it esp this mindee will feel like I have done a whole day by time he goes home.

Love you both, but you two are about as much use as a chocolate teapot aren't you? What do you think though? Do you think its a reasonable arguement? Its not just me taking time off, its 6 families without childcare for at least 2 weeks.

there are NO announcements................you are so sneaky mo!

I'm not either soak, but i im being maureens PA and so ive done what she asked me too.

Call everyone I can.

its exciting!

You are welcome, but in the nicest possible way, you're not much good on this one!!!!

I've got an announcement to make about one of our colleagues! Not really!
Just wanted to know if anyone had been summons for jury service? I'm going for the 'I'm on holiday' tacked first, but even if they let me off this time, they'll call me again soon. Did anyone get off for being a cm?

soak sneaks in through the door for the meeting I'm not a CM yet but can I join in????

RIGHTO MO, HAVE DONE IT........GUESS YOU JUST WAIT NOW.....................

OK, Staff meeting!!! find all the cm's on here you can and gather them in the staff room, I need to ask a question!

and i meant the stairs. we dont carpet the stars.

nope, the little buggers get everywhere.

They like sofas, beds, any fabric, honsetly- they are evil!

We too have laminate floors, wooden floors and a tiny bit of carpet on the stars. We reguarly use the flea powder/spray. its a bit costly but get the good stuff. The bob martin doesnt work.

Eurggggggggggh! i'm all itchy!!!!

thanks, mum knows its her cat but didnt say a word as she accused me of causing the bites? I have no cats or daogs and mindee been no where near my guinea pigs! Am concerned about them being in my house BUt we have laminate flooring so would we be safe?

cnat spell or type today.......blurrrrrghdjkmvpdfkp

its my bad toe. and head. and ear. and bruises. youch.

muffins? yum.

About flea bites, thats not great, but if they have a flea bag cat or dog, then its pretty hasrd not to have been bitten.

Maybe you could offer some friendly advice, mention the flea bites have caused her some discomfort today, and that they will need to deflea the pet and the house. dont make them fel too bad though, they probably are really embarassed so didnt say anything.

try antisan on the bites (you should scheck this is ok with mum forst- maybe a great way of approaching the flea situation!)

Also, not to panic you, but they could come into your house as they trasvel on clothes. Gross.

pet shops sell a great selection of de flea products (I know so much because i have 2 cats and a dog, who are flea free!)

Yuk Bonkerz! Not much you can say,is there? Do they have pets?

I think it was the naughty gobblins (MamaG & Kbear), they left the door open! Have to let them in though sometimes, Kbear is my rl bessie mate and her phone is playing up! Every time we speak, we get cut off at least 5 times. Much easier to find me in here!

Lips sealed [Mo zips lips shut]
I was suppose to be not eating bad stuff today, but since the post arrived I've change my mind. I was going to have a muffin with no butter and a bit of scramble egg on it. Instead, I've had 2 so far with lots of butter! I might even have a bit of cheese on the next one!

ha ha ha ha ha!

HAVE JUST READ THURSDAYS THREAD IN THE STAFF ROOM!

How funny........ Mo did you let her in?

for the record Ive NEVER slagged her off, and have NEVER slagged her nanny off either!

Think she gave me a virtual spanking!!!!!

what would you all do if a midee turned up covered in flea bites? Mindee today has about 20+ bites all over her and mum said nothing!

I read the Thursday staff room and laughed out loud!! Funny, hey I have no kids today, the vodka/cake/chocolate thing is proving too tempting!!! Done loads of stuff this morning, so might sit my fat one down and catch up on all the rubbish that was on at the weekend!!! hehe!!

thanks madge 7!

Mlove added fuel to the fiery debate on thurs, it was ace!

I think some of the posters get a little too serious! you should have seen her comments to me on her other postings! Soooooo cross, heee hee!

I like it in here best! you get tea and cake and sometimes vodka!

and hey................ shhh about shhhhh ok?

its a secret! everyone in here is going to ask now! (thanks mlove!)

check out Thursday staff room too Madge - classic!

you dont have to do jury service if you can make a valid reason for not, like work or family commitment.

I was called last year, and i would have lost so much money doing it. I didnt want to go to court, as I'd been in court a few years previous as a witness to a horrid thingy, so i wrote to them and said I couldnt face going to court as it would bring back too many bad memories, and i hoped they would understand my situation.

they were lovely about it, and wrote back saying it was fine. you can also ask for it to be defferred for up to 2 years.

Here have a voddy.
