<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< STAFF ROOM WEDNESDAY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Shoshable]

Dare I say it, but I have blue skies, some white fluffy clouds, but that is all, after the 5 hour storm yesterday (did anyone else get the hail) it is positively summer here

Nice hear as well, expect it won't last alas.
The children liked watching the hail bounce off my car yesterday

Same here we where doing the school run, although we had just stopped when a huge clap of thunder, got my 4 year old out of her car seat and onto my lap in double quick time, she then very quietly said, from somewhere in my shoulder, 'sorry I undid my seat belt' aaaahhhhhh

Morning all

Are we all bright eyed & bushy tailed

NO but its swimming this morning so that usually wakes me up

Morning. Im positive at the moment. I'm ready for the day, done all the fly things already! Its Wednesday, so no kids and I really must get my act together. Finish painting for a start - it really is getting very boring now! Might have to change a couple of nappies today, but thats it. Neighbour fractured his elbow yesterday and can do everything else, but not nappies!

Snap Shosha, Are we in for a nice day? I didn't get the hail storm yesterday, but DH was working over your way and he got wet.
A trip to the park this morning if all stays nice once I've done the school and preschool runs.

I have my Introduction to childminding course next week.
Should be interesting. Hopefully then it won't take too long before I'm up and running. The boredom is setting in.

altire cant you ask for your ofsted parework straight away and at least get all that going. Some of the girls here that have come in from Scotland and wales have done that, makes things quicker.

Just thought I´d pop in and say hi! Just come online to sort some bits out as I´ve been making sure my Ofsted Cert arrived for my extra kids and overnight care - it came very very quickly, they waived my right to appeal and my bro said the cert came straight out! I now quite like Ofsted (for the moment anyway).

Anyway, hope you are all well, I´m still on holiday and can´t believe the things we keep hearing on the news about the floods and attemped bombings etc - don´t really want to come home but suppose I´m gonna have to

Have the baby here today - he really is quite a lot of work, LT he cries for sleep too, think I will be picking your brains very shortly when he joins up - but I think some degree of helping him to fall asleep by himself will be in order.

See y'all after 4!

Morning!

sorry i rushed off yesterday, it was Banana1's swimming gala! I have no voice today through shouting his name (he said i was by far the loudest- but it was cool. Bless.)

anyawy he got 3rd place in the front crawl..yay! the mums and dads were giving me bad looks, posh boring lot they are....its a race you div bags.......shout!!!! shout!!!!!

Still no AF ladies, still no BFP. Mo- really interesting stuff- you saynothing for a month? Wow. am not sure whats going on really. am hoping for the best, but not going to get my hopes up as it might make me land with a bump and hurt my bum!

Hi girls (sorry this is long)

Had a weird day today (yes still in pain) we havent done much really, went to toddlers then both napped, mindee went home at 1.30 then dd didnt wake til 3pm so i could have hoovered but i couldn't be arsed i was feeling a bit sorry for myself tbh fed up of people signing up then buggering off costing me more in paperwork than im earning grrrr

Anyway nipped out to do school run and bumped into a lady who was supposed to come and meet me before i moved (remember?) anyway she let me down 3 times (the first 2 i gave her the benefit of the doubt) the 3rd and the last i heard until i bumped into her today was that it was 10am and she hadn't arrived after speaking to her husband who mentioned he thought she had gone to town and would call me back asap and didnt, i thought thats the end of the road with that then and thinking i'd had a lucky escape because frankly i don't want to work with people who can be so rude as to not even phone when i have spent until 12am cleaning my house the night before (i was in the midst of the move and the hall carpet had only gone down that day!)

Soooooooooo i bumped into her and she apologised said she had been being very sick on that day and had no idea her hubby hadn't called me back to let me know etc and that now she had lost my number as her dh's phone had broken Anyway so i've given her both of my numbers and she certainly seemed genuine enough and why bother talking to me if she isn't genuinely interested (she started the conversation, i was happy to smile and walk past) so if, IF she does call me (bear in mind i am desperate btw) do i bother to arrange another meeting? If so would i be mad to take her on?

(she seems lovely btw, we are similar in age and both our dd's are similar ages too so would be good and she wants pt leading to ft and i know she has been in ill health inc hosp stays hence the letting me down - but at the back of my mind is a wondering thought that this could be a blag?)

i really can't be doing with anymore time waster's because frankly i can't afford the paperwork or the headache otoh can i afford to turn away someone who may just have been having a spot of bad luck a few weeks ago and now i'm tarring her with a dirty brush so to speak?

I get the idea that people will think i'm mad to take her on, times like this i wish i had a crystal ball.

Sorry to go on and on. Any wise words would be fab!! TIA
