CM CLUB: Appropriate dress for late collections???

[PinkChick]

my mindee is not getting collected until 10pm tonight, shes been here since 6 this morning.
She is fast asleep in her bed and mum just picks up, puts in car and pts her to bed at home.
i have been walking for miles with her(in buggy) today, been to groups and 2 parks, am dying for a bath, but dont know if i should even do that??, as shes down stairs?(dp is also down there, but of course he's not registered??(argh, red tape)...but sooooooooo want to put my joggy/sleeping bottoms on and chill out..they are grey, quite smart joggers..would you think i was a slovenly sloth if you turned up at 10pm and i was dressed in these??..please say no, these bloody trousers are digging into me now!

and my hair needs washing and my feet ache

If I turned up at 10pm to collect a child I wouldn't bat an eyelid even if you were in pj's or a dressing gown. I've never had to mind a child as late as that though, so don't know what I'd myself

Oh love! Get ya slobs on!!! Surely the parent wouldn't object, you've been looking after her child since 6 this morning for goodness sake!

I'd be in pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers TBH. With a curler stuck in my fringe.

well i wanted to put bed t-shirt on too(im a minger aint i!, i dont DO proper p.j's i always substitute top for t-shirt!)but id keep my bra on do i didnt look like id been lounging all day with flapping boobs all over palce..but??? just dont know??

BTW, I've been known to have my hair tied up in a towel on a Friday night sometimes. You are allowed to have a life you know!

LOL at you lot

Just not a red frilly negligee Chick

I never noticed the bit where you said she had been there since 6am - 14 hours and you're worrying in case the mum thinks you're a slob because you want to put your slouch clothes on!
She should be thnkaing he rlucky stars she has a CM prepared to do a 14 hour day for her, and not pay the slightest attention to what you're wearing. Unless of course it's a baby doll nightie

god no, i only do comfy p.j's these days and if your counting...??its 16 hours..is that better??

If you were my childminder and had been looking after DD for 16 hours, I would not mind what you were wearing. And I think you should have a bath - the mum isn't due for over an hour.

. It is 16 hours. It's been a long day.

yeah it has! and the mum has JUST rang (10.15) to say she will be about 20 minutes!!!!!!!!!, she was due to finish 15mins ago, i am totlly shatterd i cant keep my eyes open!..my hair is washed tho, make up off all cleansed, toned and moisturised, so ill hand her over then leg it up stairs for some shut eye!

oh my what a long day
i would be in my pjs at 6am never mind 10.30pm mum prob would think i had been in them all day
cant believe the hours that mum does with a small child hope you have a shorter day today

same shift today!, mum arrived this morning and said my eyes still looked shut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, erm yes i AM shatterd!but i was dressed with hair scraped back and cup of tea brewing
