(Cute, concerned voice) Lots of questions for various chidminders!

Right then. I haven't spent enough time asking about your wellbeing lately, so....

SHOSH - how is your exDIL and your old dad, is he OK? What about DB, all save and well? Home for Christmas?

LOONEY - Hows that bump coming along? What about DH, hows the job front?

EM - Where are you? Are you OK? Last known whereabouts - shingles.

SALTIRE - Hows the job in Boots going? Any news on 'They who must be obeyed' (Ofsted)?
Hows your lad, after all the hassle with the rotten school kid?

DMO - Hows your niece?

KatyMac - Whats the SP on the nursery?

Think that's it for now! I like to think that people know I'm listening when you talk!

Oh and SS, got your e-mail. Day off tomorrow, so I will probably have the card to you by the begining of next week.

Hi Mo is fine DB is going to be home for Christmas and ExDIL had 3 1/2 pints of fluid drained from her kidneys, apparently it was a urine infection that she ignored until it became critical, (I think she is scared of doctors, had a bad experience as a child) she is lucky it hasn't caused permanent damage, but she came home tonight and have just sopke to her, and is feeling better although will not be able to get about much for the next couple of weeks and has to see Dr here, so will take her down and make sure she sees him.

Just tought of something else! Looney, hows your sister?

Hiya

Answer - I dunno

I tried really hard to think of something interesting to ask you, but I couldn't. I just knew you were fine and tickety boo!

Hello Mo, just seen this. Firstly, bump is getting bigger - only 200 sleeps to go!!! Still don't feel sick but not worrying myself about it (she says lol - I do have my moments). At least lots is going on with Christmas coming up etc. and then it's only a couple of weeks into Jan when I next see the midwife and should get to hear the heartbeat which will reassure me again

DH is currently working his notice period. Has his first job interview tomorrow but he's not getting too excited as (there are reasons but can't remember - doh - been a nightmare day!)

My sister is much better thanks, seemed full of spirit when I spoke to her yesterday. She's planning on going up to Lincoln after Christmas to see my parents like me and my family are so will be nice to be all together (well, no brother but the rest of us). She goes in for a scan tomorrow morning to see if the baby did end up in her womb after the operation to remove her tubes - fingers crossed not!!!

Anyway love.....how are you? Not looking forward to jury service How shit crap is that!!! Couldn't you have told them you were going away for Christmas to see family or would that not be a good enough excuse? Oh well, just hope you aren't needed and get to leave each day!

As indeed I am Mo

Just very busy

Right how do I feed three children (including a toddler who has a hot meal) in 20 mins please....answers on a post card.

Mindee 2 is starting school nursery after xmas, in the afternoon. After I have picked up mindee1 from AM nursey, got home, coats of,shoes off,hands washed, toddler sorted I will be left with 20 mins before having to put shoes on, coats on, sort out toddler etc before I leave to go back to same nursey school again!

does the nursery do meals, if so couldnt one of them have meal there so that the times meet, and you dont have to to two trips?

niece good thanks due in hosptal for a op on 13th Dec
i am having her on sunday 23rd overnight so cant wait

are you looking forward to giving up childminding?

Shosh, no they don't, they won't let mindee2 join mindde1 for the morning sessions instead either. Parents say they may as well talk to a brick wall.
