current mindee's(one day a week) dad said to me tonight that mindees mum(theyre not together) had now got a job starting new year in the town she has just moved too(next town along from us not too far) and they were wondering if i could have their dd an extra day through the week and they were going to put their dd in with another cm in that town the other three days(to far for mum to bus it to me, but dd loves us and we love her so they dont want to stop her coming)..but as id have a visit today from mum looking for wed and thur, i said it would only be mon or tues unless this Lo didnt come..dad says he would prefer thur, but that would be fine, theyd look at it.........
TBH wasnt expecting call back from the visitor today as she had planned to see two others and i have no confidense in myself...
anyhoo...mum rang me tonight, shed spoke to her dp and theyd agreed that she 'just felt' i was the 'one' she wanted to bring her dd too and she would be wasting the time of these other cm's, so wont be visiting them now
so as soon as tthe nursery let her leave she will be starting with me in the new year!

so text dad of current mindee to let him know...i really hope this LO does stay with me, we adore her and would hate to see her go so hopefully he will be able to take another day(prob monday then mindee will prob stay with him overnight thurs and sun as he lives close to me)
Sooodont want to lose her, it def not about the money as its only one daya t minute, shes just adorable and she loves even my dp

so anyway, taking contracts to new mum in morning(lives round corner)..so now........

need a new name, liked pink chick, love pink and everyone is becoming either strawberry or a snowflake, i need something unique..helllllllllllllllllpppp, it can be christmassy for now, but need to be able to change it to normal in new year

Oh I know, but people start expecting you to know what you're talking about, don't they? Its when you've kinda arrived and you're not someones kid anymore. People start respecting your opinion and listening to you. I'm a bit worried I'll give dud advice!
