Im here Mo, just had alovely bath for a hour heheheheheheheheheheheheh

Off to dimmer with to friends, we first met at this Army Camp 35 years ago, then met up at various other ones in between, one sttled here, in the town, I live back on the camp and the other one lives in London, but is staying with the towm one.
We meet up once a year and have done since 1976, in those days we went out on the town, now its more a sedate meal as befitting three grandmothers

Bless your heart, you old codger! You don't sound old enough to be a grannie!

BTW, have you had a drink already or are you trying to post like cod? That post was terrible to read!

No actuallyu dont drink anynore just have a keyboeard thet all the letters have rubbed off and keep forgrtting to get a new one
I have been a granny for 11 years, was a very young one tho

crace - will bump my original thread with an update and then maybe you can help? Can't hear myself think atm to be able to explain

Mindee just gone, dd doing her homework , I have put tea onto cook, so going to make myself a coffee and read what has been going on today.

LT bump away, not sure which one you mean.

Happy to help - was it the poo one? I can't remember which thread that was under!

Thank god today is over!!! At least 3 yr old mindee was picked up early or I wouldn't be finished yet. Off for a cry then tidy up and make ds's dinner (running late as baby was a nightmare and I didn't need to feed anyone else today so decided to wait!)

Oh sod it, I'm cracking open a beer NOW as I need it!

Oh cheers, it is the poo one yes The sling was a definate no no before anyone re-suggests that

Do you know what? I wish I'd never jobs this club. You lot always finish before me on a Friday! [Mo wills the clock to move to 6.30 quick smart!]

What the hell does that mean!! I meant 'joined this club'!

Can you remind which thread it was on ? x

Oh poor MML - willing the time to move faster for you!

MML - I usually finish at 6pm on Friday's (not long ago was 6.30pm every day), I was just lucky enough to have mindee collected early

Crace - now I've calmed a bit, I will find the thread and add to it

Sorry it's this one - I am a dork. Ummm Catherine wouldn't go for days and days, in fact at 3-4 weeks she didn't go for 7 days and I was in a panic. I called the GP and they said not to worry.. I used to give her cooled boiled water with a tsp of muscavado or dark brown sugar to get things moving. She was a bear until she went. On those days when I knew she was uncomfortable I would give her the water. It didn't take long.. I know it's an old method but it worked for us, and I know lots of people who say it's nonsense but I was desperate.

Is baby bottle fed, what formula is it on? She might need some water to get things going? I can't remember what age they recommend orange or prune juice (very diluted). Has mum seen HV?

Just updated the thread, would you mind having a look? See if anything rings true with you? Parents say poos are wetter now? (i don't see as they are usually at night) and seem to think it's ok but I'm not sure?

Hurrah! I'm done. Mindee left at 6.30 and its taken me 45mins to clean up the aftermath! Tell me, where do you keep all your childminding toys? I shift mine around all the time, so they don't encroach on my family life, but there's always a pram or dolls house or something sticking out!

had a bad day yesterday went to get mindee from pre-school at 11.30am and felt really light headed when i arrived so sat down till he came out.
walked home and passed out in my house i had 3 mindees
called all parents all children went home and i just feel like i'm coming around now
just slept yesterday counldnt look at the tv or print as my head felt like a roller coaster
staying in bed today all day

Oh no DMO, nightmare. You poor thing! I presume all mindees were ok and you were not 'out' for too long? Gosh, you must have been dead worried

Try and rest as much as possible this weekend and don't work Monday if you're not up to it!!

just got a text from a parent to say mindee wont be coming to me anymore as i let them down on friday
btw its the mindee who stays with uncle all weekend

That's awful! They obviously don't know a good cm when they see one!

OMG how awful

Imagine being sacked (I know your not employed) for being ill

That is terrible, awful, horrible

I'm sorry

Dmo that is awful! Hope you are feeling better now you poor thing, when you said yo had passed out the other day I was worried about you. As for the mum who gave you notice it's her loss, and at least while you had the mindee you did something constructive with regards to getting him some help/child being monitored.

DMO how awful for you! How scary that must have been..

Hope you are feeling better today x

thanks guys
