CM Staff Room .............................. Thursday

[Shoshable]

I hae one on Holiday this week and only one at home all the rt at school at least for the mornings, ................ could quitwe get used this

Hmmm - can't decide if I'm annoyed or not, baby mindee should have been here at 7:30, mum text at 9:30 saying will bring at lunch, still not here! Mum is off work at mo and if baby hasn't got her up hasn't been brining him, or bringing him later. Just hate waiting around all day. Don't drive so can't pop out anywhere quickly. I know she is paying me but I am stuck in all day waiting. Could have took ds to the park or something if I'd known she still wouldn't be here by now. Incidentally she came around and paid me yesterday after I told her I was skint, she was really kind and offered to loan me if I needed anything. She is so nice I find it hard to get annoyed.

can i brag then that i have had a lovely day, my cleaner gave notice last week (before I gave her the push wasnt very goo) so readvtised and lass came around earlier for a interview, and is lovely even asked me If iwanted her to pull the cooker out everyweek when she does the floor!!!!!!

Mo - no worries there, we know you better than that! I agree with you, fwiw

Mo do you want to nip behind the bike shed for a ciggie and a quick nip from the hip flask

No thankyou Shoshable, I'm quite happy with my uppers today!

Glad you've got your cleaner sorted, wish I could get someone to clean my house. When I first lived away from home with my mate Kbear, our b/f's 'lodged' with us from time to time. They used to clean the house in return for board and, well you know! We came home from work one night to find one on his hands and knees cleaning the floor and the other cleaning behind the cooker! We both decided instantly that they should become our DH's! Of course, it didn't last, neither of them do anything now!

Do you know you an put your cleaner on the books, as I use the kitchen to cook the childrens food and bedrooms for them to sleep in and obviously the lounge to play in, and the play room well we call it the tip!

OOh no! I couldn't possibly have someone else cleaning my house! I'm a bit of a Monica, like on Friends! Anyway, that what I've got lots of kids for!

Shosh has only got a cleaner cos shes getting tooo doddery to go round with a duster!!LOL And with a fear if heights 3 steps up theres cobwebs from the previous residents still there!!!{grin]

Mo I cant stay in the house when she is cleaning have to go out [grindecided to get one as the Fibro makes it really painful to reach up much so found that wiping wall cupboards in the kitchen, wiping the walls in the loo (had lots of boys!) really difficult, so after much thought decided to get one.

She comes 10.00-1.00 on a friday and as most of my kids go by three on a friday its WONDERFUL, take DGD out for tea, or actually spend time with DH on a friday evening insted of cleaning.

TORI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will I tell everybody how big your bump is getting and it id not all baby its the bacon sarnies!!!!!

Tori and BF where looking at the houses we are looking at last night, they we sying that all the ones with wood floors would be good with my zimmer frame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used corporal punishment on them!

No no no!! not the zimmer, that would scratch the floor, the wheels!! Yes several slaps with a back scratcher later. Any way have youlooked at the stair lifts and priced them yet?

LOL

That baby will come out demanding bacon sarnies not BFing

Makes a change for it not to be me thats getting stick! I love it Tori - keep going. This is doing wonders from grumpy day!

do not encourage her !

Anymore nonsense Tori and just remember who is looking after your DD when babe makes a appearance

ADVICE PLEASE........my double pay baby's mum again......they are a LOVELY family blablabla and baby is fine now after the nightmare start. My only problem is emails and texts. I got back from school around 3pm and noticed her mum had emailed around the time we left for school. She's just emailed saying 'not heard from you since the email i sent a couple of hours ago, is everything ok'. The email was sent 1 hr 20 mins ago and i've been busy. My laptop is next to me so yes, I see the emails arrive if I'm feeding baby at that time but what do I do about this? Had baby 4 months now. I know it's only coz she cares but I feel bad if I go out and panic her......WTF should I do about this??

Tell her that you don't always look at your emails because you're busy looking after her lo! Lots of us have banned phone calls during the day because we are working. Surely she must understand and expect that her lo comes before emails! (Of course MN is WAY up high in the pecking order!)

I agree with amureen on this one looney. Tell her you can't always answer emails straight away as you are busy doing activties/changing napopies/feeidng baby etc.

I used to CM a gorgeous little boy whose mum had a touch of PFB, and she would phone 6 or 7 times a day to see how he was. if I was out and didn't hear my mobile shewould phoner her DH at work and get him to drive down to my DH's work and trya nd get DH to call me!
Her DH and my DH were both on the same camp. neeldess to say DH got pretty fed up of this guy coming into his office, and if god forbid DH wasn't in teh office, then the mindees dad would try and convince my DH's Flt Sgt to call me instead.

Did any of you follow that? I'm rambling, it's the sun it has gone to my head

Tell her, that although you know that it is hard for her, but she must understand that her baby comes first. Tell her that you will do your best to respond or speak to her during the day, but if you do not, its not because something has gone terribly wrong! Remind her that in case of emergency, she will be the first to know! Obviously do this in a warm, compassionate way!

Shosh we did finalise the chair access through the plant pot obstacle course didn't we? LOL Sorry, had to abandon ship earlier for the mad school run.
PS. Have you got your remote controlled bed and sitting room chair yet?
