Tuesday Staff Room

[southernbelle77]

Well dd got me up nice and early so thought I might as well open up today!

One mindee all day. DD at preschool this morning so taking mindee to drop in. Then going to dd's friends for lunch after preschool which should be nice.

Hopefully weather will be nicer today!

We have yukky wet weather here again.

Going to soft play today, tho so it dosnt matter.

Youngest mindee is in all week till 7, as Mums away and Dad works with DH, and they have the Opening Show of the season on Saturday, so are rehearsing till 7 everynight.

But she is a doll and no bother, we have tea, go watch some of the rehersal, timeI have bathed her Dad is here, to pick her up.

Morning guys - starting to think about what I could do other than childminding. Not sure I want to be employed again

Dont give up Katy, I know you are very tired at the moment, but you do such a brilliant job, make sure you gat all the legal advise you need.

Morning all!

SB - have a lovely lunch out!

Shoshe - bless her! whats the show?

Katy - no real advice just a hug for you.

I need some help quick! have just remembered that i am preparing the craft for the toddler group this pm. ooppps! trial run me thinks this morn! but what can i do, it's theme is the hands of friendship. so was going to do handprint pictures but quite messey (mostly 1-3 years) what else can i do thats quick to prepare!

Ellie last years show

What about starting with one colour paint and getting each child to use a different colour (mixing the colours as you go) and making handprints then cutting them out and making a circle of frindship, that is also a ring of rainbow colours

Morning everyone.

My busy day today of 5 mindees and DD, at least dd and 2 of them will be at school most of the day. Then I take the 3 little ones to music tots.

shoshe - It's dry at mine so please don't send your wet weather over here. We are supposed to be wet again tomorrow!

wow looks fab shoshe! brave people!

bit too much co-ordination needed for many colours but like the idea. might spend the next few hours cutting out different colured hands for them to stick on to plate ring maybe!

Good lord Shoshe, wouldn't catch me up there!

Good luck with finding something EM! I am useless at all things craft. I steal from you lot

Katy - I know what you mean, well not wanting to work for anyone else anyway. Don't give up yet hon x

Hey SB!

Only 1 mindee (been here since 7 tho) until 1ish. Didn't sleep well, again, what else is new?! Might get a nap in if dd will cooperate though I am doubting it.

Elli more like mad DH reckons he is getting to old, has come in graoning everynight this week

I'd say mad indeed Shoshe! Looks scary! Now there is something where you need trust in your co-workers!!

Hey everyone Hope it stays sunny for those with it, and hope you get it soon for those who don't!

Sorry you didn't get much sleep crace. Hope dd cooporates with some more later!

shsohe - i was going to say that but thought i'd be polite!

mumlove - thansk for the shoe recommendation last night. taking dd to see some in woolies this weekend so lets hope she likes them. did find a good website call shoesforkids.co.uk which has lots of really good shoes from last year i think at reasonable prices. if anyone wants to read why i need shoes its here

Hi all

Have been doing RL

have a good day all, catch you later

RL..? What is this RL you are talking about?

I know eek

Been working on my CACHE unit 2 assignment, it's horrid and hard, I am so not academic

Might be asking for help later in the week depending on how I go

Ask away, we've all done it!

SBelle - sounds like a nice day, enjoy

Shoshe - hello, how you feeling now?

Katy - so sorry about all the stuff recently, left a message on your other thread, can't believe it

Ellie - good luck this afternoon

MLove - hello and have a nice day

crace - know the feeling. Just replied to message on PG thread, sorry, only just saw it.

Boys - good luck with it all, I could think of better things to be doing so feel for you!

Right, off to have some toast whilst baby napping. Just thought I'd pop in and say hi.

I have finished for the day just need to get DD to tidy away the toys after she has finished watching blue peter.

Mindees mum had a quick chat as her youngest goes to big school in september and wanted to know if I was happy to still keep them on, well let me think 2 children behave not too bad mum pays well (always gives me extra when we have had an outing to pay for treats etc) and on time, spoils me at xmas, or shall I give notice for a family I don't know, very hard decision to make (not).

Well we did get a nap in, but it was very restless for me. On the good front I discovered if I get an hour powernap in daily I have enough energy for the pm! (Ponders how with mindees around I am going to get an hour of sleep)..

Oh well!

Tomorrow is going to be an easy day, f/t mindee is spending the morning with his replacement c/m and coming in pm only so I have only one in the am and one in the pm. And there are am/pm sessions of toddler group. Any guesses what I am doing tomorrow then?!

Hey, no word on how day 2 went for our serial lurker?

Any advice for over here?

ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my blardy car! clutch pedal mechanism has gone now! ended up being towed home by AA man. got no car now till it's fixed! but AA man did tell me exactly whats wrong with it!

Ellie is this your new car or am I confsing you with somebody else?

I believe it is the new car Shoshe. Evening btw! I tried to drop in early, but my head hurts because I've got an eye infection again and I'm too tired tor ead all the posts. Even the bar is too fast for me tonight!

Oh bloody hell she is not having much luck with it is she.

Mo have you something for your eye, I used to get them alot, found that all the things that the dr gave me didnt really work, washing it out with optrex drops worked better.

I thought that at first, but I've been doing Optrex and Golden Eye drops for over a week, to no avail. I think its from the last time and it just didn't clear up properly. I've been to the doctors today and he's given me some stronger AB's and suggested that I hold the hottest piece of cotton wool directly onto my inner eyelid that I can. He can see a little spot on the eyelid, so he's pretty sure that's the problem. Its giving me a headache by the end of the day and my eyeball feels bruised.
