The other staff room is in education - secondary, Rose. Shosh tried to infultrate them, but they weren't biting. No-one talked to her!

HI KAy, thats sounds like one of mine!..always chopping and changing and I always have to text them, they dont give me second thought!, but mindee is a darling..i also hit the papershop this morn for choc..painting again today so i ned some energy, esp as dd was'scared' last night and i had to spend the night in 1/4 of her single bed as she spread out!..neck/head ache and back ache..but ill soldier on >>..and i have no mindees till 3pm so i do have a fairly easy day work wise

Morning everyone!
I was shattered this morning too, ds kept me awake last night, then had early morning mindee here. He used to come with older siblingbut comes alone now, so not financially as tempting to get out of bed, but don't have it in my to give my notice, today reinforced it when he said he loved coming to my hose. Stopped at garage on way home for chocolate and lucozade to wake myself up!

Baby mindee should have been here at 7.30, still not here still no text or call. Happened yesterday too, I text mum at 9.30 and she said e wasn't coming and had forgot to tell me, then asked if I'd have him in afternoon, then changed her mind again! He is a pleassure to have, I just like to know what I'm doing!!

Good morning!! bloody very tired this morning for some reason. Will have to grin and bear it I suppose and get on as usual! Getting mindee after dropping dd at preschool and then going to drop in so will take it easy there
Not sure what we are doing this afternoon. Might be going to one of dd's preschools friends houses for lunch but will have to see if its still on. No other plans. Thought we would see what the weather is like and maybe venture out but the weather is not looking that cooporative this morning!

Noooo idea what I missed yesterday, will have to go back and read through. Yesterday I had my mindees and then taxes. (Which are now DONE woohoo) No time for anything else.

Today is an easy day, made even easier with my 7am mindee coming closer to 9 now. I could insert a small moan that I had to get up anyway to get DH and Ds lunch made and then everyone's breakfast! I feel like an unpaid slave, just because I don't go out to work! Anyway, moan over. I do love them all dearly, really. No.. really

Good morning girls!

They didn't want to speak to you, did they! I like the post that said, 'are you primary teachers?' and the reply came back, 'I think, they are the childminders!'

I don't want to be either teacher, cm or parent this morning, its too difficult. DD has given me the right hump and I will be making new rules today. Difficult mindee, still not arrived. Should have been here at 7.45. Don't care that much. He will have had his breakfast and she does still pay me from 7.45, I'm just not very good with tardiness!
