Morning all. Easy day today. Just after schoolies, so I'm going to go wild in Sainsburys this morning. Had a visit from my mindee who WAS in plaster yesterday! Bless her, she only had it off on Monday and still had an arrow on her kneethat the surgeon had drawn! She kept looking at it and saying ouch! All is very well, just a little bit of hydrotherepy needed and we'll be locking stairgates everywhere!

Katy I have always had day release girls, until a few years ago, must ring the collage as they haven't sent me any for the last couple of years and haven't contacted me either. The last one I had was fab, he actually came in blocks of 3 weeks at a time. She runs a nursery now.

Have had one, I would never leave with a child. I refused to sign her paperwork after I asked her to watch the child, while i went to answer the door, came back into the room to find 2 year old on the window ledge and student on her mobile to her boyfriend, (after I had already asked her not to use it except for emergencies, as she was always texting boyfriend on it, I quickly child down, SHE HADNT EVEN NOTICED. That was the straw that broke the camels back for me, she really wasn't fit to be left with children, the course lady came out to find out why I wound'nt sign it and was quite concerned by my comments. I later heard that the nursery she went to as part of training didn't sign her off either.
