Its MONDAY again - @@@@STAFF ROOM@@@@ is open

[MaureenMLovesmincepies]

Morning all. Help yourself to tea and crumpets, I've got the grumps, so I'll be in the corner swayng if you want me.

awwwwwww Mo, maybe you will get there the first day and the case will be dismissed and you can go home, or maybe it might be something like the Darwins so you can get all the goss.

I know I'm not officially allowed in here but wanted to ask how you are this morning? going to the docs?

Shosh its next week and my plan is to go to the doctos and tell the I can't do it.

Thanks Princess, been thinking about it all night again and will be going in about an hour. We've got a walk in clinic today, so I'll be there hours I expect.

oh good! (about the docs not the waiting!)
I'll leave you to it now
bye

Make sure you go Mo, you sound so worried about it all.

Thanks Princess, I appreciate your concern, even if you have made me cry again!

I'm so in a mess about it Shosh, I know its totally irrational, but I just can't do it. Been crying all weekend, its turning me into a nervous, grumpy mess.

Anyway, hopefully, I can work it through with the doctor and he'll sign me off. One of my mindees mums works in the court and she is in agreement, that if I'm in this much of a state, I won't have to do it.

shosha - many thanks for the email with the handbook. will adapt it for my setup. very much apreciated. guy was supposed to ring last night with time for today's meeting but did not! not a good start! will carry on today as normal adn he can fit in round me! got another enquiry for part time 2yo too! just e-mailed her back.

dd and i both have bad colds again - hadn't even got over the last one! no point going to docs i'm sure he'll say its a virus. don't feel too bad just nasty cough and snotty! (sorry tmi!)

have so much to do today re-portfolio and my printer ran out of ink so i have to go out and get some so might as well get the rest of the bits on the list although don't fancy trapsing round!

good luck mincepies!

Morning everyone,

(((((((((MO))))))))))

Mo I so hope he does sign you off.

Ellie, one thing I int put in email but have printed off for all parents is this www.hpa.org.uk/infections/topics_az/schools/schools_guidelines_2006.pdf

There is no arguments about whether they can or cannot conme in when ill then.

I'm back, receptionist said there as a really long wait and did I want to make an appointment for another day. I told her it was very urgent today and she 'found' an appointment for 11.50, so I'm gong back later.

A question. Do your children know or are they kinda aware of what pastry is made of and how old are they? Strange question, I know, its all part of my plan to make the doctor think I've completely lost it! But seriously, would you think a 9 year old girl would know?

Morning all

Mo - I'd soooooooo be in the same state as you if I had to do it, I really hope you get signed off!!! And pleased you got a proper appointment. Can't help with the pastry though

Anyone fancy helping me out on This Thread I could do will getting an idea soon as need to email the mum back.

Right, sits back and drinks tea whilst waiting for the 2 sisters to arrive then it's off to toddler group.

Morning all.

{{{{{{big hugs}}}}}} for everyone, I feel we all need them at the moment and extra for Mo.

Us childminders are doing our xmas party for the mindees today, will need the paracetamol later.
Hope you all have a nice day, at least it's dry here today.

morning guys
just having tea and toast at the mo got spare if anybody fancys
how cold is it today? my toes were like ice on the school run this morning but now are slowey melting indoors
hope everybody is ok

going to quiz my after school children on the pastry tonight mo and will let you know

Thnaks, I'm asking because I was a bit shocked that my neighbours 9 year old, didn't know that pastry was made from flour! It may be I'm doing her a complete injustice, afterall not everyone has the time or patience to do baking with their kids. I just know that I can and have been sending dd into the kitchen for at least 2 years to sucessfully make scones and mincepies, with only oven help.

i'm sooo tired today - i couldn't sleep last night as something i read on facebook made me cry and feel physically sick - i still feel awful about it today

just took ds and mindee 2 out on ds's new bike - he was 3 on saturday

did you get to the docs mo?
oh dear maxi thats not good

Hey Mo, howd you get on?, didnt realise you were in such a state over this,sorry chick..just bought a big fat choc muffin from greggs, dya wana share it with me?..its a form of consolation as i can not find one thing to buy to wear over christmas..not even that im a fat knacker, just NOTHING to buy unless i want spandex or a wooly jumper!, its sooooo opposites and nothing in the middle which i totally me, straight down the middle!...well, i bought a corset type top a couple of years ago, wore it once, think it will have to make a re-appearance if we go out drinking but a bit to slutty for tea at family pub and soft play on christmas Eve
