Oh, forgot to tell you! I met MN member blondehelen yesterday in the playground! It was very funny. We'd been txting this week about the piano and I spotted who I thought was her, so I tapped her on the shoulder and just say, 'exuse me, are you Helen?' And we both just burst out laughing! Incredibably, not only does she live 2 streets from me, she was also one of DH's nurses when he was in hospital a few years ago. I haven't asked if she remembers him yet, but he was there for 3 weeks and was the youngest person to have what he had, so she might! Going round her house later this morning.

Ug! Morning. Really shouldn't have stayed up so late gassing in the staff room! My first one came at 6.15.

LMG, have you read the begining of yesterdays staff room? It really was very funny! I agree with Meg though, you've done the job, you need paying. She wouldn't hold her mortgage company up because she's been in hospital, would she? Know its tough, but thats the way it is.

Happy Birthday MumloveDD! Hope she has a fab day, whatcha doin tonight with her?

Now, two questions that bother me today!

1 How does Nutella get away with advertising that its good for kids to eat chocolate for breakfast?

2 Who wrote the new report that says children are being put under too much pressure at too young an age. WE KNOW THAT!! There's a million parents who could have done that report for free!

Yes Im having mindee her dp is doing drop off n pick up but hes very unapproachable I get the impression they keep their money seperate. I will have to phone her I can't do without the money.

SpooKAYsamuels · 12/10/2007 08:11

LMG can you maybe offer to pick it up from her, give her a riing, explain you haven't wanted to bother her but you really need it. I have had to do this before and find it very effective.

I had mindee here at 6.30 too, and am still struggling to wake up! DS is really stroppy - not like him and I am not used to it, think he is determined to wind me up! Also I burnt the toast and ran out of milk!

FFIF!!

phone her and say can you please have it in cash by end of day as you will need it to do the childrens food shopping, its her child that you are feeding, and sorry whether she is ill or not, if she can get her child to you, she can get cheque to you.

Happy birthday to your not so LO ML!

Morning everyone, I managed to get a good sleep yesterday so last night had the energy to clean up a bit which made me feel lots better and I caught up with some paperwork and had an early night so today will be easier. Only problem for today is that I just checked my bank balance and it's really not good! I haven't been paid from ft mindee this week because his mum has been really poorly she did say she would send a cheque round today but so far nothing and really i need the cash what shall i say? I should have been paid on monday am so have been trying not to cause her more stress.

mumlove · 12/10/2007 07:59
