typed on brand new keyboard, so any typos are all my own

Morning all. I enjoyed my marmite crumpets, thanks

Well, I'm free til about 10am as the sisters are being dropped off by grandma (not sure if parents are back from sailing yet?)

Oh....guess what....I got flowers, a card and a little extra money on a cheque yesterday as a thank you and goodbye (for now) from little mindee who I was having adhoc whilst they waited to move. Although she's turned into a right spoilt little brat (seriously), we're going to miss her a lot. Ds and her were talking about how they are best friends and are going to post things to each other (she was my first ever mindee) and we can't wait to go and stay with them in Eastbourne Soooooo, I'm glad I didn't do a sicky Actually, I doubt I would ever have gone through with it, I was just so annoyed with the mum but hey, she's forgiven!

Katymac - thanks for your help with the assistant thing yesterday I'm really beginning to wonder whether it's worth it after all Long term would work but as it's only a temporary thing, it's seems too much work and won't be that much help for me. I'm probably just better off either doing it on my own or having a couple of months off (all if it even happens!). I know they SHOULD come back to me if they really like me HOWEVER if they find someone just as good but nearer home (some travel a bit to me) or cheaper then they may well just stay with that person. Anyway, I've got lots to think about

Off to make a cuppa and empty the dishwasher etc whilst I have a spare 20 mins

Have a good day everyone!

Good luck with the toilet training

Can I have Doughnuts?

I'm off on a course today (but I have problems with the school run am & pm, children changing hours, hubby, daughter, staff)

Why is it when I do things for me the world falls apart??

Morning!

Got any marmite to go on those crumpets? I'm free as a bird til 3.30 today, once I've done the school run. Paperwork and stuff to do for CM & Guiding so I won't sit idle. Sounds like you're doing everything you can LMG. How old is she again?

Morning, i've got a cm friend coming round this morrning, dd2 just poohed on the toilet not sure what to do now though really, not sure she is really ready to fully go for toilet training yet, am leaving her without nappy for now to show her its nice not to wear it and if she uses the toilet she wont have to wear one, will that be a good motivator? We've all given her loads of praise and stickers and sweets, what else can i do?

You had to make crumpets while I was typing!!!

mumlove · 12/09/2007 07:47

Well done, glad the new keyboard is better.

My 1st full day of work (have 4 under 5's) since my holiday and I have my new mindee starting. Ages are nearly 5 yrs, 2 x 3yrs, 1yr (just). Then I have my DD to take to school. I will survive the day. Off for a coffee before they all arrive.
Have a great day everyone.
