Feeling fed up, I'm not getting paid on time, mindee's all full of colds/ teething, it's cold/ wet outside. I keep getting tension headaches blah blah whinge whinge....

Is it the time of year? Do I just need my xmas holiday?

Chin up, it''ll be wine-o'clock soon! :)

It's not so bad if it's dry. It's the rain that gets to me.

time for a oh so polite but to the point newsletter about receiving fees on time.

other than that - some paracetamol and a cinema afternoon coming on methinks.

You need your Christmas holiday (and to be paid on time)

I think I have pmt which isn't helping tbh. Painkillers don't work with tension headaches sadly.
I've had a frank chat with 1 parent this morning and I'm hoping that will help, will also be giving out a letter tonight because I really have had enough of not getting paid on time, I work really hard and deserve some respect. I have 5 famillies on my books and I need them all to pay on time as my car blew up earlier this year and I'm still trying to pay for it, plus paperwork, plus 10 hours a day and all the collections/ drop offs etc is a bit of a juggling act.

I've got some tablets by New Era for tension headaches, which are fantastic - I got them from Holland and Barrett, but my Mum recommended them and she got them from Tesco. Their name is something like 'migraine and nervous headaches', but they work a treat and aren't habit forming, so you can take them as often/little as needed.

Other than that, I know what you mean (other than the late payments - I make all my parents pay in advance by standing order!) - I'm also hating the dark nights, we do go out in the morning, but then the kids sleep til between 3 and 4, so by the time they're up, fed, nappies changed etc its dark, so we're stuck in the house and (I'm) climbing the walls! :(

Syndol is very good for tention headaches.
Roll on xmas hols. The weather does get you down too! I feel the school runs are such hard work with say 3 under 5's, especially in this weather. I find myself driving more than often as the walk just goes on and on and on...
