Cold Meat, Hot Mash, little bit of pickle. Best Dinner E V E R.

Roll on Sunday!! It's the old bird's birfday doncha know!

Tricky. I wouldn't bother the teacher about it. I'd do some more investigating first and then when you're sure, just phone Ofsted.

LT - go on spill it, good news?!

Rose - it's annoying isn't it - I would leave the teacher out of it, unless they want to "remind" the parents what they are doing is illegal and that this "minder" isn't registered, inspected or insured! Some parents really have no idea, or just don't care. But some do!

oh and a prob here!....theres a 'mum' at nuresry who has either 1,2 or three children with her each day..one is white(like she) one is asian, one is black..now i know she may foster/adopt, but she doesnt always have these boys...so today she ahs all three and i ask if she cm's..no, i just mind x and x for their mums while theyre at college...now in thsi day and age, dont tell me shes not getting paid for this!..i dont want the children, i am full, but am very about some illegal cm doing the rounds at the school...might broach the teacher about it, dunno, but she said she was in childcare a while back so i KNOW she KNOWS the rules!..what to do??? do i keep my nose out?, parents are obv happy and theyll know she has no insurance, or what?

thats fab news Crace

Looney, ive jus saw your update on facebook??...have you psoted here yet???..anyway...fab news pleased for you all

BTW, if anyone is remotely interested I did a survey at school this arvo and the cold meat and mash thing is completely normal around these parts!

Did DH make it to South Africa yet Shosh? Or has he found a comfy corner at Heathrow!

Morning was nice - managed to go for a walk in Windsor Great Park. As often happens - rain started while on the school run... got back just before the big downpour.
Considering going swimming tomorrow if it's wet.

Well thats me finished til Monday And then I start with new ad hoc mindee! Hope she settles ok as I've only met her the once and she's not been with any childcarer before! Hopefully dd will keep her amused.

Had all that too Mo, just got all of us in dry clothes, we were soaked!!!

Not meaning to ignore everyone, just not had time to look through today, just popped in to put the kettle on to warm myself up!

Crace - so pleased scan went well I got letter from hospital this afternoon confirming the blood test showed low risk of D.S etc - 1 in 1400 so that was reassuring. I didn't have nuchal scan as didn't want to know if any probs but the blood test was sprung on me when I didn't expect it!

Right, be back to make the tea - mindee wants bottom wiping!

O M G! Thunderbolts and lightening, very, very frightening! The weather is dreadful here! Really, really bad. The sky just went completely black and now we have howling wind, HUGE hailstones and a wicked thunderstorm!

There isn't much to look forward to is there, but pain and a long recovery so there has to be something fun! I just wished they hadn't asked - then I wouldn't have been tempted. That's what is getting to me I think.

And yes, I can relax - in 3 weeks time I see the consultant for my c/s date so it's just waiting now!

Excellent news Crace. Now you can relax for the rest of the pg. I wouldn't want to know either. What will be, will be. I like the suprise of it all.

Hi ya'll we are back, all was perfectly normal - long baby like dd was and hubby is. They didn't look at the bum so no idea what the baby is, worst of all they ask if we wanted to know. I wrestled with finding out for a minute or two. Now it's playing on my mind we should have found out. (I secretly want a boy you see)

Oh well, all is well which is what matters

OMG! She's posted 70 times on that thread! Various other cm/eduction thread too, mostly all having a go about Ofsted. D'you think a word in the shell like with HQ? She's not being rude or trolling though, thats the problem, but she just isn't getting the message that there's nothing we can do for her. Very tricky.

Oh dear! She's rather screwed up that thread, has't she! Does she post anywhere else? I'll go and have a look.

ADVICE NEEDED........HOW DO WE STOP MARNEY GOING ON AND ON??????

Hi Saz. I would have thought that if your mindee is OK with sleeping for that long, then so be it. It is a long time, but if he's awake the rest of the day and goes to bed without problem, then its OK.

Thanks for clearing up the meat and mash thing too! I was beginning to think I was odd!
