still in dilema about potential new client mon-fri 11.20 til 1.10 no food! first enquiry don't want to say no but this would eat up a full time place for 2 hours a day. think i will quote really high, minimum 3 hours and pick up fee. aslo i think it's only till july as then she'll be at school. think i need to speak to mum again!

have good day everyone

OHHHHHHHH FL how wonderful, congrats, that is so lovely when is the wedding

Morning all - Congrats Fruitloop!

Turned out DS didn't have chicken pox - just bad temp. He's still poorly today but I'm taking mindees anyway.

I hate Mondays!

Shosh - me too
EM - be very careful that will lose you 10 hrs a day potentially to earn 2????
FL - Congrats
CM -ii hate MONDAYS TOO

I'm off to a management course today (in the rain) & I'd rather go back to bed - I have now been ill for 40 days (fgs)

How wet is it out there? Its absolutely hammering down here. Couldn't be any other day, when I have enough room for a car load. could it? Too many bodies for the car,so I will have to put me silly hat on and walk.

Congrats Loopy! Thats fab news. Were you expecting it or was it a complete suprise? Where did he do it?

Morning to evenone else too!

Hi everyone congrats fruitloop.
Mindee has arrived this morning with a really bad cough, every time he coughs it sounds like he is about to vomit? What should I do ring parents or wait to see how he gets on, has already refused breakfast and now sitting there staring at colouring sheet almost asleep. My ds has had cold last week that he is just getting over advice please if anyone has any thanks

Congratulations froot!

Plonks huge bar of Dairy Milk in shosha's lap

ahh thanks guys,

Was at a lovely restaurant in Battersea, he booked table for 6 of us, arranged for us to get there an hour before our friends. He had been running around organising it for 2 days, even took fri off work (bless him), got some of the staff at restaurant involved too.

I was very impressed actually cos he's not the romantic type - reckons you need money to be romantic

I knew he was gonna do it cos I actually chose the ring as he was stressing out about it too much! I had no idea when he was gonna do it though cos it had to be sent to jewellers to get valued and re-sized, its still too big though.

It's absolutely chucking it down here in London, thank the lord I have a car and all kids fit in!

Off to group now, catch you later!

Where is everyone today, are you all hiding from the horrible weather or are you all really lucky and have Mondays off

Morning all. Who decided we need all this rain? Got drenched on the school run come home to dry out but need to go back to school and preschool for pick up at 12!! Then also my DD at 3.15 Please oh please can at least 1 of them be dry.

Fruitloop - congratulations

shosha - I have chocolate in my fridge

Well forgot Network lady was coming today, still it went fine, we had everything out as it was so wet we couldnt go out, 4 CM's here and lots of children doing fun things, she appeared to be suitably impressed

Mumlove I WANT YOUR CHOC.

nap time, whoopie do!

what have you all got for lunch today? My man's eaten all the bloody bread, AGAIN!!! I wish he'd tell me, I went to Tesco this morning as well.
Oh well, I've got some yummy covent garden country vegetable soup, just be nice to dunk some bread in

Shosh - what's Network lady about? never heard of that.

El's mum- not really sure what I'd do. Depends if it's busy where you are. If there's loads of work I'd say not bother.

fruitloop - i don't knwo what its like round here yet! all very new. think i'll chat to the other cm's at drop in on wednesday. have to remebr why i am doing this - to earn a lving not to be nice to everyone!

we're getting wet today too, very drippy here then bright sunshine dazzling me next1 did see fab rainbow but no-one toshare with! dd at pre-school this pm!

I SAW IT! in fact the whole playgroup saw it so you weren't alone it was a bit overcast so not all that clear. Are you anywhere near Merton?

I'm still wondering where this 'bar' is. I looked in 'chat' on fri night, then started searching but couldnt find it, then I realised how sad I was looking for a virtual bar on a friday night

Hi everyone

Congratulations Fruit!!!!!!!!!

I've got an ill mindee, has raging temp - phoned mum and she said "oh yeh he was like that last night but ok this morning " So i'm dropping him home soon.

fruit loop - no i'm in berkshire (bracknell to be precise!) but where's merton.....sorry for being ignorant!
ps virtual bar's are all i get - tee hee

it's SW London, It's the borough of Wimbledon. I have no Idea how far Rainbows stretch, thought it might have been same one

oooh might be - you're not technically that far from me! am just mnetting but should be writing folios and stuff! arg the paper work! have nephew asleep upstairs and dd at pre-school. not discplined enough! there so much to do i don't know which to start on, must write some policies!

I have no idea where to start. I'm very behind on my accounts - got a big bunch of receipts somewhere, got to start this Early years c**p, and I havnt even got any policies set up .
Not used to all this paperwork as I used to be a nanny

oh c**p accounts too - also have big bunch of reciepts must put on pc. i seem to get more and more to do and not actually doing anything!

GET OFF THE PC ELM! ok ok i hera ya!

Afternoon all! A rainbow is whatever length the rain stretches. Can't remember the proper explanation, but its got something to do with the sun light hitting the rain and it makes a rainbow. I know its call refraction though!

Typically, I don't think there was a bar on Friday night Loopy. There was a cool night club on Saturday night though, me a Ju had a bit of a dance! Bar was open last night too, although I didn't venture in.

Afternoon ladies. Congrats to FL. I'm impressed tht so many of you manage to get on here before the school run, I'm extremely lucky if I've managed to brush my hair!{grin]. Gotta go toddler mindee has just soiled nappy and needs changing PDQ otherwise ends up with horrendous napppy rash. byeee

Dilema girls! My policy is one months notice on both sides. I have got 2 weeks off over Christmas, mainly because I've got jury service, otherwise, I'd help out with anyone who needs me. So, obviously, no one is paying for those two weeks. So, theorically, if I had a job starting 7th January, I need to give my parents 4 weeks notice from 10th December. So, why do I feel so damn guilty that if I apply for this job and get it, thats only 2 weeks away and means that for 2 of my weeks notice, I wouldn't be working anyway! I feel dreadful. I was looking at how far I'd come with my little one today. She's got to the stage where mum doesn't even get a backward glance when she drops off now. It took a long time, because she only comes 2 days a week. I couldn't help thinking that she'd have to start all over again. Its not my problem right? They wouldn't think about me if the tables were turned, right?

I really want to apply for this job, but I can't afford to be without money at all, so I can't give anyone anymore than the minimum notice. Its only 2 parents in particular, who I know will be upset, but what can I do? Nothing really. No contracts will be breeched, so thats that.

Anyway, I've got to go and do Rainbows now, so I'll be back about 5.45.
