CMCLUB: Just been given notice :( Come console me!

[KaySamuels]

That's it really, will be losing 3yr old and 7yr old mindeee in four weeks - £100 a week!

The timing is terrible financially, don't know how we will manage if I can't get a new mindee.

Eek!

What horrible timing - poor you

Mum has new job, pt instead of ft and her MIL has offered to have kids.

I'm gutted, my wage is terrible anyway and I am holding the fort financially at the mo.

Do you have any others on your books?

A 1yr old mindee (less money than family I will be losing), and a 10yr old mindee who I don't think will be with me much longer - he does less hours now and as his older sister is at home alone now he is getting itchy feet to join her. My ds is 3 so can only mind 2 under 5.

oh no thats horrid, I've just had the same thing happen to me

hope you find something soon xxx

Thanks both of you, gonna have a huge advertising drive, so keep your fingers crossed for me! {I will do the same for you lm)

everyone keeps saying "something will turn up" fingers crossed that they're right

What rotten luck. Get out there with your flyers and hopefully something will come up very soon. Lots of people think about new things for the new year, so if people know there's a cm just waiting, that might give them the push they need.

Shosh always swears by putting her flyers on cars in car parks and I think it was LMGs who stood outside the local school. Got to be worth a shot, if you're desparate!

I know its a rival site so to speak but I got several calls from a Free listing on my local netmums site. Google it!

thats a good site to get calls from, good luck x

Kay what rotten timing

I love LMG's idea of having balloons printed p with your logo and contact details and handing them out, there must be loads of xmas fairs for playschool and such, stand out side an hand them out.

Oh no

I have been given notice, all my after schoolers are going

Oh booh! There seems to be something in the air at the mo! I am going to work through all the advertising tips and stay positive.

It is a definate dowside to cm'ing having people give notice!
