Good luck EM! You will do great.

Hello everyone, day off today - as only have after schoolie and he's not here today. Still looking for my full timer but quite relieved tbh that I haven't - my own children are keeping me quite busy (SEN eldest, one in preschool and one baby!) but I do want to work full time soon! More worried that when I AM ready there won't be anyone Lots of people in my village laid off, sign of the times I think.

how typical is this?
i get my first enquiry in MONTHS and it was for 3 under 5 and pre-school pick up a bus ride away, i can only have 2 under 5.

mumsanutter · 28/01/2009 19:58

VV - can't you see if you can get an extention (not sure of the term I'm looking for here), so that you can keep the children together?

EM - will keep my fingers crossed for you

Sammy - glad that you are calmer and seem sorted about what you are going to do with yourself

No4 - You r not a bad mother, my little sister didn't eat sweets or have fizzy drinks and she always had bad teeth (same with my 9 year old), I think that its just how that child is going to be... As to the other how late are you now? Go to the nurse if your concerned, but you may have just ovulated late last month!! Keeping fingers crossed for you

Crace - fingers crossed that something comes along when you need it

I've just had to log dh off of the pc so that I could have a look in.... its nice having him home but we are going to have to look at this computer sharing thing!! Just had a parent of one of my mindees round, her dh is facing redundancy and I have said that we will go over to a new completely flexible contract but to do this I have had to put the hourly rate up at little - does this sound really mean???

Numberfour · 28/01/2009 20:00

VV: always the way, isn't it!

Yes, SammyK, hoping for BFP! Got loads of signs including being 4 days late, but still BFN. Now I wonder if I am imagining it all...

mumlove · 28/01/2009 20:04

Just been to my 2nd course in 2 nights but I am glad this 1 finished early. So going to have a coffee and relax.

Violet - if you think you could manage to have the 3 together ask ofsted for a variation.

EM - fingers crossed.

Sammy - enjoy the shorter hours.

vInTaGeVioLeT · 29/01/2009 00:20

i know it sounds pathetic but i don't think i could manage getting a double-buggy with a baby and a two year old and a three yr old and my four yr old walking to & on the bus i know lots of you mind lots at a time but i only ever mind my own plus two mindees - i get stressy and worry about their roadsense.

mumlove · 29/01/2009 07:42

Don't worry violet more will come along, you have to do whats best for you.
