Can't talk now, mother is here and I'm not sharing the news with her, until I've told grumpy arse dh! I'll be back! (DD can't stop giggling!)

CRACE - concentrate woman

Ok girls quick! Give me the lowdown on assistants? I am allowed 3 under 8 at the mo and that's going to go down to 2 once baby comes. I keep having to turn people away from my rapidly growing village.

So, if I get an assistant asap can they do things like school run? And I would keep them on when I go on leave... help! They probably won't be a registered c/m just an assistant..

MamaG · 30/01/2008 14:59

MO YOU'VE WON TEH FUCKING HOLIDAY!!!!! WELL DONE LOVE! MANY CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Henni bounces into the staff room looking an feeling very healthy, looks around and tuts at all the poorly minders, busies (Is that a word?) herself handing out soothing lemsips, chicken soup and turning the lighting down low so they all rest.

Have had a lovely if not busy day with mindees, ones now asleep the others at nursery and the last one is watching Cbeeebies (is very tired today for some reason!)

I have finally organised and booked my 40th party, yippee. And, DH has found a lovely weeken tent for us, just need to source a cheaper one.

southernbelle77 · 30/01/2008 13:55

Know that feeling EM. I have one alseep in the pushchair now and the other one is chattering to himself in the cot and hoping he will drop off before long!

southernbelle77 · 30/01/2008 13:47

I need chocolate!! Ofsted phoned earlier about my variation request but was busy with the mindees so they are calling me back at 2 and I'm really nervous!! Silly really as nothing I can do but really would like them to say yes!
Mo- have you spent all the money yet?!

dmo · 30/01/2008 12:22

i'll come and help you spend mo

crace · 30/01/2008 10:32

Ooooh Kit Kats, thanks!

Mo, yeah that would teach him! ha

mumlove · 30/01/2008 10:27

Right I'm back, I have cappuccino's and chunky kit kats to share, will help with all the colds.
Sorry but can I turn the heating up I am freezing.

MaureenMLove · 30/01/2008 10:06

I think at 12, its perfectly acceptable! Although, I have always been like it with her. I remember once in Woolies, when she was about 2, she was looking at the footballs longingly. A lady said to her, 'maybe mummy will buy you one.' And she said, 'no, because its not my bithday and its no Christmas!' Because she is generally good, she gets rewarded for exta goodness! She did the ironing on Saturday, without asking, without prompting, so I put a fiver on her phone!

MaureenMLove · 30/01/2008 10:03

Shame he's ignoring me really. Our mortgage completed about 10 mins ago, so I'm rich today! (Just today, it's all assigned to something from tomrrow!) I've tried to phone him and tell him, but he's not taking my call! I might just have to go and spend copious amounts of money today!

crace · 30/01/2008 09:48

LOL - sorry, very mature of me

crace · 30/01/2008 09:47

To be honest, I am sort of the same way. Do it or die mentality and cos I said so. Men are such fragile creatures aren't they? Just ignore him back!

southernbelle77 · 30/01/2008 09:46

Oh Katy, thank you for giving me such a good laugh this morning! I would love to go and find some cheese, but it most certainly would not be lasting until New Year
Thanks for the link Mo. Thats the website I was going to look on so now I don't have to hunt through it!
Sorry you're suffering LT. I had SPD with dd and it was awful. Was on crutches from about 24 weeks and it wasn't good. And that was just me and having to contend with getting to work let alone having your own and minded children to worry about. Keep pestering them for physio and get a support if you haven't already got one.
Mindee and dd are playing nice and quietly at the moment (won't last long!) and now wating for mindee 2 to arrive and then my friend and hers and at least 3 of those here will have colds so might have to do a Michael Jackson and wear a cloth over my mouth so I don't get it! Already have the sore throat so don't want a cold too!
