*********** [smile] [grin] Staff Room Thursday [grin] [smile] ************

Oh no....you now eh! I'm really luck (touch wood) that I haven't had it - ds was off school for a week with D but I certainly didn't catch it (well, thought I had but turned out the sickness was me being pg )

Thanks for thinking of me, I'll know soon enough now. Scan at 9.30 tomorrow - will let you know how it goes.

Night xx

Grr blasted d and v bug. A lovely week off with Dss and DP all down the drain (bog).

Thinking of you Looney

It's been well quiet in here today hasn't it!!!

sorry! You'd have been FAB though!

Oh I thought I had been chosen especially!!!

I know, she's contacted all childminders in my facebook group, or at least all local ones. I feel terrible - just posted a wall message on the group as feel so bad for letting the side down but what can I do under the circumstances Even ds is gutted as he wanted mummy 'on the telly' lol. Hopefully someone else with accept

OOOh I got a message from a reporter as well. Had to turn her down (can't believe I did - normally such an attention seeker ). I just didn't feel that I could say enough - as I've only just started and not even had a proper inspection yet. I hope she finds someone who will spill all!

It's come through facebook and haven't worked out hhow to forward. will cut and paste and send it another way. ....... Got to rush got sausages burning for baby's tea.

Saz let me know - I couldn't face it today with what's going on. I didn't get a copy as it's due to me cancelling but feel free to forward it to me I think they just want the story out asap - they did push me last night but I'm not up to it right now

[Hijack]

Looney, another BBC journalist emailed. Are you dealing?

Bless him for not wanting to leave you on your own all day How unfair at the timing and you not getting that time together

Thanks, I THINK I'm prepared for the worse now, I'd prefer than and have possibility of some good news than to hope for the best and have big let down.

Right, ds nagging like mad to play on the laptop and as it means I'll get to lie down (hopefully), I'm going to let him!!

No dh not blaming me, but we don't get much time off together and it just seems like everytime we make plans something goes wrong. He is going to take the kids out for a while tomorrow but doesn't want to go ahead with our planned day out as he doesn't want to leave me on my own all day.
Hope all goes well for you looney.

just us TWO!

Feelingold - {{{hugs}}} poor you. I hope DH isn't blaming you FGS!!! I know how you feel about it not going to plan. I took this week off to spend time with ds doing things JUST US TOO. Had plans for most days and have had to cancel as on bed rest. He's been asking today why we're not going to the woods and science place with strawbs tomorrow. I feel awful. I've explained mummy and daddy need to go to the hospital and he's going to be playing at a friend's house (he thinks it's a bad urine infection ) - he's still making me feel bad though Have lots and lots of cake hun!! xx

Saz - agree with MegsD & Mo!!

Well I'm sooooo relieved I cancelled the BBC reporter today. I feel bad but the timing was awful and been in a bit of pain today so would have been worse if I was all stressed! Went to friend's for lunch (well, had to go out to pick letter up from the Dr anyway - due date etc. don't make sense at all - they have my LMP wrong, oh well) and she had yummy yummy chocolate gooey things (can't think of the name) - they were GOOOOOD!!!!

Going to turn the heating up I think, it's a bit chilly in here now bbbrrrrrr

Can i have coffee and choc cake as i am feeling sad , i have taken this week off to spend some time with my kids and dh has taken today and tomorrow off so we can go out but I have been to doctors this morning as feeling unwell and i have mumps!!!!! Just had to let all of my parents know that I can't have mindees next week as I will still be infectious.
Dh mad cos taken 2 days off for nothing, kids upset cos supposed to be going out today and I look like a hamster with its cheeks full of food!
I think I deserve some cake

Right, then if the invoices are addressed to the Uni personally, its jack shit to do with your cm contract! I would seriously contact CAB, just so that you can get your rights absolutely right and listen to all the jargon they give you etc. Then phone the uni armed with all the right info. I would suggest, not putting the phone down today, until you have cast iron guarantees of a payment. Oh I think I would also be tempted to charge them your bank charges, since it was them that put you overdrawn. Ask the CAB what they think.

Can you get the NCMA legal Team involved, maybe they could ring them.

By the way have you noticed I was very god and didnt come in here this morning...........I cleaned and sorted out my art and craft cupboards. God stuff in there I didnt know .............I wont have to buy anything for Christmas Crafts found loads!!!!

Yeah sent invoices beginning of sept when mindee started. Invoices states payment due beginning of each month in advance as per contract. Been told since mid of september that payment is on it's way, or invoices lost but suddenly reappear.

Well in that case, its got nothing to do with the contract being with the parent, you send an invoice to the uni and therefore they should pay it. Did you send anything in writing stating that it was payment up front and has the deal worked ok up until now?

MML, the contract is with parent, b ut i send invoices to the uni for payment (i've sent invoices upto end of the year). Uni authorises them and pays me. Contract is payment up front, both parent nad i have told them this and they've dsaid ok. but no bloody money.

Oh, morning all, btw!

So the contract is with mum, but uni pays you? Who authorizes the payment mum or uni? Who's responsibility is it to make sure you get paid on time? Mum or uni? I'm not getting it!

Raised my voice, threatened and even cried on the phone as i'm in so much trouble now without this money, but they keep reminding me contract is not with them!!! I don't particular want to withdraw servicses as she's a single parent of 3 and doing something for herself for a change.
