mama sorry i havnt (why ladybird, cant picture tou as a delicate little Ladybird, now a wasp well )

sorry sorry kiss kiss

I dont get broody, [far to old] anyway i look at the size my almost 30 year old rugby palying DS is and ......[shudder]

(Those pesky babies grow up you know)

DMO, are you alright love.

((dmo))

dmo hugs. Thats my biggest fear of looking after other peoples children. I now use those rubber braclets and write my moblie number on in permanent marker, they then put them on their ankle before putting shoes on.

Are the boys ok?

boys are fine didnt even notice
love the police ride
parents are fine about it too
still feel really sick
boys were still running and playing when found

Oh goodness DMO. Big hugs for you as can only imagine how scary that was for you. Pleased to hear it was all ok in the end.

In one way thats good that the boys didn't notice as they then get very clingy when you go out places afterwards.

I lost my DD in argos one xmas and she stayed by my side when we went out anywhere for months.

Oh DMO what a nightmare!
If it's any comfort to you I have 'lost' a mindee before too, I was at a wacky warehouse type place with an indoor and outdoor area, turned round and he had gone (was 4yrs old), me and staff searched for what seemed like an age (prob 10mins), he then happily came skipping out of the bushes looking very triumphant!!

He had been playing hide and seek but had forgotten to tell me!!! So had heard me shouting and thought I was playing along (was very pleased I hadn'ty found him)! I know it doesn't feel like it now but you will be able to laugh about when the sicky feeling has worn off! {hugs}

shoshe what about these buggy clips then have heard you are in the know - are they doable??

What a fright that must have been for you, I am so glad as was well but you must be really thrown. Take some time, all is ok, but I really feel for you. Massive ((hugs))

I have also lost DS in the big central library in the town centre when he was 2, and in a shop last week (was also hiding both times), your heart sinks to your stomach doesn't it! {what about a guilty emotion - this is mumsnet!}

Kay they are these love

I have also lost a mindee (talks very quietly --- in my mums house where I was childminding from at the time, she went behind the sofa and hid. I didn't think anyone would fit there!) She even squeezed passed the magazine rack.

thamks guys i just cryed and cryed at the beach when they found them
they are only 2 and 4
i was with 3yr old helping him put his gloves on and the 2 and 4yr old went up a hill so when gloves were on 3yr ols and me went up the hill and couldnt find them, called their names and asked my sons (10 and 11) to help look for them so we all spilt up looking, i asked loads of people who were walking on the beach have they seen them but nobody had so in the end i phoned the police and they were found within 10 mins

Hhmm don't think those connectors would work as buggy frames (diagonal ones at front side) wouldn't line up. Bugger!

Get yourself a strong drink DMO, if anyone asks it's medicinal!

dmo what a fright, how terrible for you.

Thank goodness for a happy outcome

phoned Ofsted who told me to put it in writing so i have just printed up the letter to send out tomorrow as they want the parents signatures on the letter to show they have been informed

think i will stay in for the rest of my life with them

thanks boys
next time you take the limo call me

Oh DMO..how bloody scary for you..little terrors!..wouldnt have thought too contact OFSTED if it had ahppend to me though?..glad parents were ok, hope you manage to relax now you know all id well with boys and parents.x

Eveing, just off tow atcha bit of t.v got lots to do but totally shatterd..one mindee due at 8.15 not arrived till 8.45(mum did ring tho) this morn, mum got tummy bug..discover throughout the day that her dd ALSO has said tummy bugand get baby picked up early not feeling happy at all with very sore bottom..other mindee due 8.30 gets here 9.15(no phone call but dont mind really, mum is lovely and knows i wasnt going out anywhere shes good like that)had mmr yesterday and has been 'wingy'-mums words...well mindee has winged, moaned and been in a total grump all day!..he IS ADORABLE, but today he obv was feeling the brunt of his jabs and if i looked at him the wrong way all hell broke loose!..still, i know hes not like that really, so rode it out..think baby will be off tomorrow poor lamb and hopefully older mindee will be feeling better as if its as cold tomorrow as it was today ill be getting the LO's posted through letter box as ill not even open door!

So baby mindee1 didn't turn up Monday - no text or call, same Tuesday, no text or call, and today the same!! Sent mum a message at about 3pm this aft to ask if they were well and that I hoped everything was ok, and asked if he would be coming this week. 'No I am off this week' Would it have been hard to let me know????
How can I approach this, it goes on all the time now, I like to know what I am doing with my day - what buggy I need out, what food needs preparing etc.

Baby mindee2 been off poorly so have had a quiet week so far, and I am missing them both TBH!

Just seen your post Rosegarden - sorry you have had one of those days!

Think we should get the water checked in here, pregnancies and illnesses go round like wild fire!!

O M G dmo poor you how terrifying - hey at least the boys were unhurt and unaware that there was a problem - think i'd be having a stiff drink tonight if i was you - i hope it doesn't put you off taking them out.
