Hi TP, I didn't expect you to reply til this evening as I know you aren't around, just some people pop on at lunch etc so I wanted to ask the question - I've been in a bit of a state! Yes, I have reduced mindees by a lot but still have the one - just that they always turn up late in the morning so I get to chat a lot then. I just leave it in the background when they arrive (got broadband) and every now and then pop on and check. After all, I get shouted at when I don't look at my emails when they arrive (a snail shoots onto the screen when one arrives and the kids shout SNAIL. It's very cute and they go on til I remove it so I usual check on mumsnet then!!!).
Thanks for your info, hopefully I will not have to worry about that!
I've done a permission form and got it signed this evening. Do you think I've covered everything?
