No children for me today! Not even ds!!

I have totally wasted my day sitting infront of laptop but as I spent the whole weekend working I don't feel too bad.

I have 2 coming tomorrow and am looking forward to a day out somewhere!

Glas you had a good day!

not got the 3yr old tomo got a 6yr old and a 9yr old extra

packed the bus with tents, windbreakers, and parasol (no rain covers) so were praying for the weather to last

meninas · 10/04/2007 20:33

I had 4 today (6 mth, 13 mth 22 mth and 5 years old)+ 1 mum not easy 2morrow the same

saltire · 11/04/2007 08:20

Today is my first day back, and as usual, mindee 1 is late. Was asked before Easter Hols if i could have him at 7.30 am this week as mum is starting earlier and finishing at 4pm. Well it's now 8.20 and he's not here yet. yesterday was her first day back at work, so her week of starting and finishing earlier isn't getting off to a good start is it?

Shoshable · 11/04/2007 08:30

Is this the usaul awkawrd one Saltire

Yes the usual awkward one!. He still hasn't turned up. When he does his mother will either have forgotten a coat (although the sun's out it's cool), or pull ups, or his lunchbox, or he will be wearing a really thick jumper, winter coat, gloves and hat, or the opposite - t-shirt shorts and sandals.Or she won't have any money to pay me "because she doesn't know how much it is" even though i always give her a bill, and it's the same amount every week unless one of us is on holiday!

soak · 11/04/2007 08:43

I'm suprised you're not bald by now Saltire!! just reading about her I want to pull my hair out!

ssd · 11/04/2007 08:52

but dmo surely you don't have all of them at any one time?

isn't 6 the maximum allowed at any one time, or are yours all part time?

seems far too many for one person to handle!!

saltire · 11/04/2007 09:48

He finally turned up at 09.10am! With no coat,or lightweight jacket. Wearing a t-shirt and trousers. Not paid as she "forgot how much it is", and a huge lunchbox as usual.

dmo · 11/04/2007 20:11

i can have 6 under 8
yes i have them all day they arrive between 7.20am and 8.30am and go home at 5.30 - 6pm

Shoshable · 11/04/2007 20:20
