Am so tired after all that humping yesterday!

Strong espressos all round and nothing else a la French style!

Oh, we're in here are we? I just posted on the Xmas party one! I won't repeat myself, you can work it out! Going shopping now, no kids til after school - yippee!

I had one of those too CM. She came begging for my services 6 months later!

Morning,

Well i waited for mindee to come to give them all breakfast at the same time only to find food all round mindees face so rang mum to check (because sd never gives me any info at all whatsoever when he drops off) and yes he's already had some.

CM - one of mine did that too, it is hard not to take it personally.

Morning all, CM my mindee's neigbour is looking for a minder. It's not too far from you, it's only 1-2 days per week. Not sure if that's any good?

It wasnt mindee's mum it was mindee!

And dont take it personaly, think people who choose Nurseries want a totally differnet type of care than CM's, so maybe it was that she wanted that sort of care, but came for a look just to make sure.

I was like you last year, really not enthusiastic, in the last run up to Christmas, found it hard to be motivated etc. You need the break love. You will feel better after it.

I'm knackered. These last few weeks are going so slowly. Feel rejected as well - mum of baby I saw last week has said they want to put her in a nursery instead . I'm trying not to take it personally!

Sorry to hear about mindee's mum - hope she's better soon.

Nooooooooooooooooooo lots of creamy cakes as well

How are you this morning CM ?

Just had a phone call that stayathome mindee2 is off, mum had to take him to A&E last night with breathing probs!!!!!!

Its just a virus, but my poor boy, he has been off with tummy bug, came back yesterday, and seemed so much better than he had been for a couple of weeks.

He is better now, but is staying at home with Dad for the rest of the week.

Stayathome mindee3 was off yesterday, as I had to send him home with conjuncitivits, as well!
