I'm really struggling....it's not that I spend too much time on Mumsnet ....HONEST

It's just in between C/Ming, the accounts, my DD, the house, getting the extension, arguing with Planning Permission, doing my Dads account and generally running in circles - not to mention my ME means I don't get to DO any of it

I might even give up &

I'm quite upset by it all

Sorry to moan

KMc sorry to hear about the hard time you are having.

I didnt realise you had ME either.

I dont know anything about NVQs

Have you asked at citizens advice if there is anyone that can help with planning, and or accounts.

I think ssd idea about asking a mum at school is a good one. Apart from the privacy aspect.

Hope something happens soon for you

sending you cyberhugs {{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}

Hi KM, sorry to hear you're having a hard time of it.I can imagine running your own childminding business on the scale you do must be difficult-even without all the other things you do!I only mind half of the week and I find that requiries a lot of organisation so God knows what you'll face !

Do you have much help with your business accounts?Is there anyway you could find someone who might do your and your dad's accounts for a one off fee every month or so? Maybe one of the mums at school or nursery might help a bit if you pay them a nominal fee? I know you probably can't really afford to be giving out money but I'm thinking it might be a bit less pressure for you .

Also I didn't realise you have ME - that must be very difficult.Sorry to hear that.

I probably haven't been much help,just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and I've really appreciated all of the support you've always given me!

Hope things ease up soon...
