Can you believe its hump day again already? Right, no-one is to discuss CJ today. I'm still exhausted and flabberghasted from yesterday! Looneys on the case checking out guidelines from Ofsted and let that be an end to it!

Morning! I promise not to mention the CJ word too (whoops!)

I've just applied for a nursery nurse job, its a term time only one at Tameside (Greater Manchester) College nursery so that would suit me with my 5 yr old lad, a cm friend said she might have a b4 and after school vacancy if I get the job and need a cm which is nice as ds loves her! I'm getting so fed up with parents letting me down at the last minute -'losing job' before she was to sign contract, rnag her to get policies back and her partner said she was at work! Also applied for a creche worker job for Tameside Sports Trust at one of their sports centre creches, I could continue doing childminding as the creches are in the morning in term time and I have b4 and after school children. I probably won't get the nursery job but its worthwhile applying anyway to see if I can get back into the job market after 6 yrs.

My car is also playing up, I turn the ignition off and it stays on! Cannot afford for it to break down!

Morning!! Mindee 1 here already and mindee 2 turning up in a minute! Going to do some sticking today as dd wants to make sheep and it's something to keep mindees occupied for a while!
Was going to pop into town later but not sure will bother now as mindee 1's not got my money in the bag (again ).
Not been reading 'the' thread as the first few posts annoyed me yesterday and wasn't in the mood for it!!

Me too Mo, I am done there

Today I have one mindee until 1pm (unusual for me!) and then it's off to the optician for contacts. I broke my glasses last week and managed to tape them for a few days but have now broken somewhere else so clearly a manufacturing issue. In the meantime I need to see so it's off for contacts. My lovely friend is driving me as I am now blind as a bat (I have a -4, crazy blind lol)

It does ruin my plans for today however, but ho hum

I promise not to talk about it, it makes my blood boil that silly woman. Argh

Anyway, hello girls

Is that really a shortform for it or do you think people got bored of typing conjuntivitis every time? It is one of those words that you have to spell out as you type it! CJ is awfully close to CJD, which DH tells me I have!

Morning everyone.

I've got a cold today, i'm still working (mum said its ok) I can't afford not to work for the sake of a cold anyway, dp's car has been off the road since oct and £300 later we're no closer to knowing what is wrong or why it won't start dp refuses to give up and buy another car feeling a bit fed up today i guess, fed up of working my ass off and everytime i start earning more one of our cars goes bang and we have to spend a fortune sorting it out, why can't we just have time to get on our feet.

Morning all

Grr CJ (as people have been calling it)

I read that thread. FWIW I wouldn't accept a mindee who had it, nor would I send my DSes to school with it
