[eleanorsmum]

Morning all, hope you find the door today..............

It's running really slow on my PC! But hey ho.

I'll hear today about my job!!!!!!!!!!!

Got DD at home with an ear infection (feel very bad mummy as she was up during weds night and i still sent her to school with ear ache, teacher said she cried all day, went to doc and yup ear infection! BTW I'm peeed off at nurse who last thusday said it was a bit pink but didn't need anti biotics! now a week later she's in agony! hmmmm!) and I've got one mindee, they get on well together so I'll be doing lots of crafty things with them i think. and I'm sure they'll want to watch mamma mia again!

Have a good day all em x

Morning everyone.

Ive got 1 mindee today (swapped days) and DH home! Not sure what we will do yet but have some crafts left over so we will do them today.

Got to do the school run before mindee arrives 1st.

em - Fingers crossed for good news.

Good luck EM, hope you get the job. Hi ML have a good day.

Im just waiting for 2 mindees to arrive in a few minutes so just having a quick surf.

Fingers crossed EM. Sorry to hear about dd, what a nightmare.

Hey ML and coolj!

Just after schoolie as per norm, though he is a fair bit of work - bickering, teaching my dd rude things, so it's a tad stressful but it's getting better the more he understands the house rules but it's taken a lot of time and patience. I know he's just testing the waters so it's all good.

Morning all, finally found the door, got lost on the way as been so long since been in!

I'm not working today as ds1 has diarreah He's been crying his eyes out because his bum stings so much but when I hold cold compress to it or try cream, apparently it makes it worse so there's not a lot I can do!!

EllieM - fingers tightly crossed for you!!! Poor dd, hope she's better soon. If she was crying all day at school, why on earth didn't they send her home??!!!

Off to make a cup of tea with my last bit of milk! Can't even go and buy any until ds1's toilet visits are less frequent!

sounds horrid looney - would say try a bath, but have to wait until on the loo less - have you tried vaseline? good luck and hope the day goes quickly for you xx

Oooh, It's all new!!

Just got one this afternoon, and he'll sleep til 2.30pm.
One to colect from school and finish at 5.45pm.

EM - Good luck with the job!

Hi fairimum How are you? I've finally had 2 nights of him sleeping through - fingers crossed it continues!!! Have told ds1 that vaseline will be what i try next if he gets upset again. For now it's calmed down and he doesn't want me near his bottom! He said the water made it worse earlier when I tried that but will try a bath if he kicks off and nothing else works

Hi Bradfordmum I was a bit lost when I logged on and it was all new, thought it was because I hadn't be on for a while but it's obviously a very recent change then?

Afternoon all, I came in this am but couldn't figure it out at 6.30am so thought I'd leave trying until I'd done the school run, shopping etc

EM - fingers crossed for you

Off mums wanders ds4 is 'beating me up'

What is the staff room? Is it a members club type thing or does anyone post hellos?

afternoon,
fingers are crossed for you em
i really hope he gets better looney, its a really old remedy, but try some salt in a bath, it really works!

well my 1 mindee left unexpectedly 3 hours early, now i'm at a loss of what to do...i could catch up on planning, the accounts, house work, my playromm displays, the kids scrapbooks... but no, i find myself drawn to mn!!!!

nomore - any childcarers can come on and say whatever they want, no special club, just our way of staying in touch with the adult world!

mums - hope he's stopped beating you!

leoni - I'm the same, and I REALLY shouldn't be doing ANYTHING other than my accounts so can submit tax return tomorrow!!!

Actually, that's why I've come back in........I have a question.........can we claim part of BT line rental? If so, how much?

nomoreamover - Hello. The staff room is just where us childminders, nannies etc have some day to day chat, but welcome anyone.

I thought it was upto you how much to do for the BT line? I did 10% myself.. but I can't remember the "rules"

EM any news?

YUP

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations em I am so pleased for you.

looney - not line rental but actual call costs for cming can be claimed - i too had to look this up this week. it was on the gov website, says only actual call costs.

Thanks for that and EM - WELL DONE!!! When do you start? Have you given notice to mindees? Am I not going to see you now?

we'll have to meet up in half term if you can make it looney. it'd be lovely to keep in touch. I start on either 23rd feb or 2nd march - dpeneds on when parents can sort new care out. one already has! 2 to go!
