am off to look at vistaprint today, mainly wanting term time only children so have got letter to mail shot to schools with poster for staff notice board.

and I'm in Bracknell, berkshire!

(flowers smeel great btw, hic )

Oh Hi EM there's a few of us from Berkshire - me, Looney and Saz are in Reading and Nannynick's somewhere about!

Welcome! Love the name of your business. I don't have a name, it's just my own name if that makes sense. Anyhow good luck finding some children - looks like I've only got one for Jan so far !

Morning all! Congrats EM. Have you got a frame to put it in yet?

I'm having the most delish porridge for my brekkie right now. Only draw back is, I didn't make enough and I've only got half a bowl. I may have to have more after school run. Mindee brought his brekkie with him today, as they were running late, he's got something chocolatey. Yuk! Don't do chocolate things for breakfast in this house!

Morning all, congrats to EM from me too. Day off again today as DD1 has a music exam so no noisy mindees aloud! Wish her luck!

Hiya ellie! Yum, hot choc, thankyou

Unexpectedly no mindees today until after-schoolie.

Got a friend coming for coffee then blitz the house, as I was out Armisticing (sp) yesterday.

Have a good day y'all

Morning all.

Eleanor - Congrats on the cert! Where in Bracknell are you? My sister used to live in Hanworth (kids went to The Pines). Anyway, first thing....get yourself on CIS database!! Also look at this thread as it has loads of tips we've all shared.

Must dash as mindee due in a mo (au pair dropping late today). I'm only supposed to be having toddler as baby sister was sick 3 times yesterday and I told mum 24 hrs exclusion! She's clearly at work so hoping she arranged with au pair to have her and not just dump her on me at last min (just worried as she emailed this morning saying fingers crossed baby is fine as no more sick, I replied saying 'good, let's hope she's all ok to return tomorrow then!')

Off to toddlers when she arrives so catchya around lunchtime :-)

Morning everyone, just having a quick coffee break while both mindees are asleep.
It's lovely and sunny here but very cold, I had to scrap the ice off the car windows before going to school this morning.
I hope everyone had a fab weekend, only 6 weeks of school left before xmas.

Well done Ellie.having naightmare morning, need double buggy from toy library for Thursday, took it back last week as hadnt needed for ages but now DO need it this week!, they cant get it ot me as their driver not turned up and its huge old one..so not sure it will fir in van when he does arrive???

Hiya Mo

How did the party go?

Back after 5pm for update !!!

Cheers

Ju

It went very well Ju. I need to tweek a few things for next year though! Like keeping the kids out of my front room, which has a cream carpet! Fool! I hear you cry, you're a childminder! I know, but it wasn't my idea, DH insisted and now moans that its dirty! CM kids don't go in there, but at parties I can't keep the little darlings out! Suppose a door would help!

D'oh cream carpet took a beating then !

Glad you had a good time Mo
