CM/Nanny staff Room Christmas Party, Special Guest StarExpat.

[shoshe]

Thought we should have a Staff Room party (had to invite Star, she supports us so much)

So whatcha bringing ??????

I have some baileys and Brie on offer?

I've just finished icing a Christmas cake (kept lovely and moist with brandy) which will do nicely

Awww I'm so touched! Thank you for inviting me.

I have wine and christmas cookies

oh I will bring wine and lots of it

Oh oh oh......me me me......just been to a (sort of) Christmas party at the children's centre so in the Christmas party mood

I have cheese and biscuits and when I've finished work, will bring in some red wine to go with them

We made peppermint creams this morning (and I feel rather sick from eating too many already!)

There is also M&S mulled wine in the cupboard!

We've just finished making ginger biscuits and pizza dough. When they're finished cooking i'll bring them over

I have some mince pies no-one seems to want to eat - I'll bring them, with a spare kettle

'slides in in black ice'

Lanes a nightmare today :(

But I come with mb chocolate brownies and butterscotch ;) plus a jug bottles of pimms

Just off to see dc in nativity play

'blondes gets tissues ready'

More wine here and some crudities and dips

oohhhh came back and lots of goodies! So when will we all be here for a hour? I'm Free at anytime!

look here and tell me why my 's hat is black, not red?

Post at 15.39 by me.

I'm starting to think I'm on the naughty list. You might not want me at your party anymore

can I sit in the corner & cry

gawd knows star but again your cm must love you, you make using vouchers so simple

if only nanny employers did the same ......

Anyone want to join me with a Crazy Vimto or wo

two and I haven't even had one yet

aww KatyMac :(

Blondes. I think voucher companies shouldn't allow parents to use vouchers until they have saved up one month's worth. Then there will always be a month's worth in their voucher account. Computershare has the direct transfer on a certain date every month to Carer's bank account (carer just needs to go online and fill in their details). Then you don't even have to look at it except for hte confirmation email both carer and parent get on the day the voucher is transferred. And this way, it can't be late, because the funds are always there. It is simple, really!

It really makes me that people are fussed about with vouchers because although it's salary sacrifice, I do end up saving £70 per month using them, so they are well worth it and it's a shame that they can be so inconvenient for carers. People just need to do it properly!

well said star :)

and would love a pimms please

just testing on here...

WTF?!?!
MNHQ what did I do? all of my other hats are red...

I just thought I'd test it as it seems as I thought......it's not YOU, it's the CONFUSED emoticon and the way it's coming across with the hat LOL. Not sure why but I think that's your answer :)

Mums creeps in......

Hello all, I am bringing red wine and lots of chocloate to the party

Crap, I'm late, it's taken me 3 days to get all the glitter off of my party trousers after this past week of Xmas craft activities!

I have a large sack of boozy mince pies!

KatyMac - sorry to see your holiday woes, how disappointing , I would still go though, you work hard and you've had a very hard year, go on holiday and put your feet up, you'll still be able to recharge your batteries.

You're not too late lollipop, the party is still going on
