!!!!***************Flipping Heck What's Happened to the Staff Room***************!!!!

Hi

Im new on this thread but been CMing for 7 months and had bad day today! No patience with child sitting with food in mouth and not chewing or swallowing or even closing mouth!!!!

Glad she's in bed.

I'm afraid I think the same and it doesn't bear thinking about

The devil is now in bed so we will see what wakes up in the morning!!

Maybe it will take something serious to happen to the girls before the parents eyes are opened to it all (hopefully not though).

Oh dear, hope the devil disappears soon. I'm lucky that new au pair collected the girls a bit early so now I just have the mess to clear. Gosh, this poor new au pair worries me with her driving, I'm so worried about the girls - not au pairs fault, I blame the parents!!!

OK all my mindees have gone home, but I picked up the devil from school at 3.15pm instead of DD. FREE to anyone who wants her (she will probably be an angel for anyone else) .
My mindees are being so good at the moment and it really helps with having the emergency ones, just need DD out of the way and I will be happy.

Actually....what do you think of this.....mum phoned me to say yes, i know you're off next week, no probs [phew] and then said again sorry about this morning [think she's trying to keep me happy now ]......I said ok blabla and that I felt like the au pair was VERY nervous on the road which probably didn't help. She casually said 'yeah, should really have come with her today, she's not been driving on the left side long and went into a hedge yesterday!] and laughed as she said the last bit. I'm really worried that as a mum, she'd let this very young, very nervous driver have her 2 most precious things in the car with her

Had two sisters 10&8, Mum came to pick up, 10 year old went out to car 8 year old sat next to me. Mum finishes convo, picks up bag and goes.

I realise 8 year old is still sat next to me.

'Mum has forgotten you'

'Thats OK Shosha, she left me in a shop when I was born, and went home, then when I was 6 she left me at the bottom of a ski lift'

This was all said very nonchalantly

Mum appeared 10 mins later for her

She was a nurse, but we all called her blondie

She would also write my check out as soon as she got home with the invoice or she would forget it, then it would sit in her pocket till I had to ask for it

A totally lovely lady as well.

I wrote all this then mindee 1 pressed a keyboard button and deleted it!!! arggggggggggg And I dont type well as it is.

Oh no......that sounds like a bit of a journey!

How funny! My neighbour has just popped in to collect his boy from me! I haven't got him! He said 'alright Mo, where is he, is he asleep?' So I said, no, its Wednesday, you should have collected him from your mums on the way home! He's got to drive back into London to get him now! Soppy sod!

Oh.....she just phoned, panic over

Wasn't going to say anything but now I know she's ok, I feel I can.....

Just texted mum to make sure she reads her email. It's not my job to make sure she remembers is it?

Smee may have her RL address, sorry all had to pop out, am back in now!

do we know if smee has a website or somewhere we can get her phone number? not sure what the connection is but obvious smee is needed

I've been nudging her and sending winks to try aND GET HER attention but she's set to busy and may not even be in.

Kay go on MSN

Kay I have it will email it to you now

hang on, is smee on the list of all childminders with vacancies???

Kay - I wish i had time to read all that thread, just saw the link. I read the op and it made me cry and I don't even know what it's about. Smee isn't her is she?

Can you CAT her kaysamuels?

That was another thing dh said to me, Have you been pg for 6 years because you haven't stopped eating yet! I can't help having a high metabolism.

Right, lunch hour over for me, I've made a start on 11 cards and want to get another dozen on the go before school time.

Laters girls.

MegsD - I was terrible with ds, a week pregnant and my mates were telling me i was pregnant because i was feeling sick, moody, tearful and most important.....eating like a pig (I normally don't eat much b ut I catch up when pg!). Thing is, I put on weight very quickly very early and it's very obvious and this side of it worries me this time! Anyway....where's my bacon sarnie???

Also.....don't you all want to see my email to mum????

Kay - sorry I can't help - have I missed something??? [worried]

ANY OF YOU LOVELIES HAVE SMEENIT'S EMAIL?? NEED HER URGENTLY EVERYONE WORRIED ABOUT NEWLIFENEWNAME!

Looney My friend (Tori32) ate for England the firts few months, we were having to take snack out for her as well as the mindees on our outings

Personally I think she was just rubbing it in as I and the other CM were doing WW.

Oh don't.....[dribble dribble].....i just LOVE food atm, have been eating like a pig for a week or so, thought I was comfort eating as been down

Sticks nose around the door,

'Do I smell coffe, and any chance of a Bacon sarnie'
