Staff Room............Wednesday.........................

MM my days been like that all was lovely once I stoped work me and my two sat down to do tap-a-shape nice tea ect.

Then ds started to jump on the sofa - so I said to him stop that please I don't want it broken - his responce laugh (hmm, me no story tonight then, now get down laughed again so he swifty got his PJs on and was put in bed early 6.45!!! (he normally is in bed for 7 but I couldn't think of what esle to do))

Just wanted to pop in & say to hello to anyone who remembers me!!!

Just put DD in the bath, why do they always have to spoil the day, I have really enjoyed having my 4 mindees today as the oldest 1 starts school tomorrow so will be a big boy. Another mindee also started at preschool this week so it was strange to drop her off and collect later.
Only baby mindee tomorrow, so will have a quiet one.

That was funny............parents just turned up to collect them and I mentioned toddler hadn't eaten and it turns out she was the same at one of the grandma's houses too. At least it's not just me Oh....and mum went to get toddler up and she had screaming fit and ran away. I picked her up from the playroom and she cuddled up and when I tried to hand over to mum she went mental again and did the toddler throwing body about thing. Oh dear. Hopefully she'll be ok and back to normal for next week.

No, I'm the same, she's moping about but sat at table and then started crying and got up again then sat down and cried again - poor thing, don't think she knows what she wants. I decided she's been through it this weekend/week so would try just feeding her but no, big strop. She's well out of sorts Just having a cuddle on sofa now

Talking of dinner, I've just made a really, really nice healthy looking dinner! I usually do, but todays is particularly fine! They've got tuna, lime & corriander fish cakes (Sainsburys - ab fab!) with new potatoes, asparagus, baby corn and snap peas! It looks so healthy! AND they've eaten all the veg first!

Sorry, doing dinner myself! Is she still moaning? If she wants her dinner, she'll have to sit at the table, but I'm not there, so its up to you to decide how tired and if she can get away with it this once.

ANYONE???

She kept refusing so I've just calmly taken the plate away. I've made no big deal out of any of this as I believe that's the best way. But now she's starting to whimper....what shall I do??

Oh right. Well yes, can't when pg but I definitely would arrange contact from when baby is born to see if they still want a space. I hate how rude parents can be!!1

Quicky.......2 yr old mindee refusing to sit at the table. Normally very could be she's very tired. There's no point in going on and on, she just doesn't want to sit there. I am better off ignoring it and every now and then check again aren't I?

No, I'm here

Shoshable - that's sooooo rude!! I've got all my January lot signed up and taken deposits, at least if they don't come, I've got something out of them

B*stards! I've had that happen at least 3 times. One, I was very gracious and said that it was fine and that they had to do what they felt was best for the child etc. etc. I did air my views about nursery/cm though and 6 months later, she came back to me, saying that she just couldn't cope with the rules & regs of nursery and the fact that ds stumbled from one illness to the next, so could I take him!

Has everyone gone on a childminders day together out and forgot to tell me?

Hello, lovely lady, how the devil are you? I see you're in for an op next week, not too nervous I hope. Did you have a good summer? I didn't work too much, which is good on one hand, but bad financially, but we'll catch up. DH has just bought a fishing boat, so he's all excited as is DD. I couldn't give a stuff tbh! Not happy about it sitting on the front drive, I have to say and he knows that. He's being very nice about things atm. I'm not going to argue about it though, I'm going to hold it against him everytime I want something!

Pinkchick, no idea where to look for your thread???

Exactly! I've forgiven her now I was quite upset on her last day with me in Feb as I never got even a card and it was my birthday too. HOWEVER, as mindees birthday was the day before, she had a party the weekend after leaving me and in front of all their friends and family, they presented me with a card and HUGE Easter Egg and little mindee presented it and gave me a great cuddle, had to turn round so they couldn't see the tears!!

Oh......sister mindees are here, grandma said they've been moved from piller to post over the weekend whilst parents were away, she did not seem impressed. Well, I couldn't possibly comment!!

Hi all, got problem with buying some land if anyone has any ideas(on other thread-please advize, getting call back anyminute)..and cos i am so greedy, im sat here, children all at school/nursery, washing hung out anouther load in so made a cup of tea and pinched the last dairy milk..sat happily dipping it into my tea, put it in mouth and choked!..tea everywhere!..greeedy woman!

Thats all it takes isn't it LT? Its all very well people telling you that you're appreciated, but showing you really helps. When I had that situation where the mother 'forgot' I was off and I had to cut my holiday short, she did a similar thing. I don't expect it, but it means that she knows I bent over backwards for her and she appreciated it.

On another subject, I'm cold! I only had a t-shirt on for the school run this morning and my thumbs are numb now! I've now got jumper, socks and shoes on, very attractive look it is too! More coffee I think!
