Hope you get that one sorted PC, that sounds perfect for the holidays. I could do with extras through the holidays. I made a BIG mistake with one of my ex mindees. She called me in about April to check that I could still have mindee for a couple of weeks during the hols and I said yes. Made sure I wasn't away etc and last week I phoned to confirm and she TXT me to say she didn't need me anymore! Of course, it was word of mouth, no retainer. I made the cardinal sin - I trusted her!

OUCH!!! Warning! - Don't get comfy reading a book for wind down with mindee with your feet propped up on the highchair, because when the door bell goes, you forget where your feet are and in all the excitement to finish your working day, you jump up, fall over the top of the chair and nearly brake you ankle! OOOOUCH!!!!

I was out today with 2 childminder friends, and one of them got a phone call from a parent looking for childcare for their 1 year old. Totally surprised my friend - she's very pleased to get a phone call as it has been so quiet recently. So seems as though some parents are looking for childcare - so with luck LoveMyGirls your phone will ring soon.

Congratulations to your friend and Good luck to those of us that are quiet at the mo, i do have faith it will turn around!
