@@@@@@@@@@CM STAFF ROOM - FRIDAY 28TH@@@@@@@@

[MaureenMLove]

Time warps thru from the planet she lives on

'It has been noted that due to the fact that our brians are either old or muddled (for some that my mean both) some of us seem to stuggle to appear in the right days staff room. Mentioning no names, but Thursdays staff room was opened again this morning and I also noticed that last Thursdays staff room was opened again yesterday! (you know who you are!) I have therefore opened todays staff room with the date on it, for the more literately challenged amongst us!'

Good morning and have a nice day!

Do you mean me

sorry miss, wont do it again miss, promise miss.

I opened it in completely the wrong section once! I don't think it was even slightly child related either!

see thats cos we are such hard working CM's that we only get two mins to open before we start

[lying through her teeth was up drinking coffee, and eating crumpets at 5.30 so had planty of time to make sure it was the right day]

well im leeeeaaaving, on a focus jet plaaaane..dont know when i'll be back again sunday...leaaaaaaving on a ..la la la....

off to sunny blackpool for weekend!, please pray for me, i may be blown away thinks DMO..should be washing hair and packing..better gooooooo.xxxxx

For any particular reason PC, or just a beano?

taking dd to see illuminations, taking mum too as she hasnt been to blackpool for years, loves trashy shops and could come in useful as a babysitter although she doesnt know yet..cant wait, huuuge fireworks display on tonight people from canada australia etc grand finale so should be good and loud

Sounds like a really fun weekend. Wrap up warm! I haven't been to Blackpool for about 15 years! I had a friends whos parents had a hotel on the Golden Mile and we went for New Years Eve. I think we just went from hotel to hotel for the entire night and finished with breakfast back at our hotel!

Right, whose own kids or mindees have Kickers? Coz I've got two here today, both wearing Kickers and they are such a pain! It takes twice as long to go out because getting the damn things on, let alone tying the laces and it takes twice as long to get settled when you're back home! WHY? eh eh WHY?

Rant over, as you were!

Hi Mo, none of mine have kickers. The seasons favourite with mindee 2 is Wellies topped of with a lovely jester style hat which takes on a purple colour! All worn indoors ofcourse!

Being fed "baby food" at the moment by mindee YUM!

DDs birthday today, can't beleive my middle baby is 10 yrs old, it has gone so fast. She's having a sleepover tomorrow with 6 of her friends (HP ponders the thought of 7 hyper 10 yr olds at 2am and decides that she's gonna go clubbing and leave them to the tender mercies of DH).- Or should that be leaving DH to their tender mercies

Hi, it's my first time in the staff room, thought as mindee and dd are both fast asleep would make a cuppa and have a few mins to myself!

Have been minding since Feb but only had 1 mindee, feel like a 'proper' childminder now as since sept i'm almost full!!

Hello Becksmummy, not many people around at this time of the morning but there will be later. Got to dash- nursery run calling.

Hi Becsmummy..Mo, tell the parents to get the velcro ones..much easier, lo can do them but still ruin as soon as they play out one time!

Welcome, Becks! Nice weekend head then Hennie! I'm doing the same next Friday for dd, who will be 12. Thankfully she's only having 3 friends over though and I'll leve them to it!

Mind the door doesn't hit you up the arse on the way out!

Morning all.

Henni - happy birthday to your lo Oh, and that's for your help on my thread, god, can't believe that other person thinking I treat mindees like dogs!

welcome becksmummy

What? Where? I've been so busy this morning, what have I missed?

My thread about drop offs

Thanks for those who posted on there, about to go on school run but can I ask another question........every now and then double pay baby's mum (we all know the one by now ) texts instead of emails and lets me know she's not on email and says she's just checking all is ok. What if I'm out of credit? Is it my duty to have the credit to reply?

Looney, you should always have credit incase you need to make urgent contact when out an about,(says she who often runs out of credit!)

Well.....I've actually got credit as topped up earlier knowing it was low - was just hoping to be able to use that as an excuse as once I text back, it can go back and forth til I've spent over a quid (not a lot I know but that's still around £10 a month just on texting one parent)

Oh well....better answer then
