Only one mindee today, so am going to put some adverts up for his space as he leaves at the end of the month, then off to M&T.

No rain here yet, but the sun has disappeared. I refuse to wear tights though, need to get my kegs looking brown somehow!

Could also do the drop in, but I find they all want to sleep on Monday mornings having been whisked from here to there at the weekend with their families.

First words on a Monday usually are : She or he is a bit tired this morning"!

Morning everyone. Its weird to see the rain. Ive forgotton what it looks like .

Ive got 2 mindees this morning and my DS3 and 2 this afternoon, so a fairly busyish day.

Bye for now.

Raining here too, but at least it means I don't have to water the plants.

KatyMac · 27/04/2009 08:17

No rain at all

Busy week - lots going on, I doing a fete on Sunday & giving away bags of play-doh - bit worried about the plastic bags but not sure what else to put it in

We'd planned on planting sweet peas today, but that'll have to wait.
Toddlers this morning and waiting for a call from an ex-mum about her 2 coming back as giving up full time work in Feb and going to Uni 2 mornings a week doesn't pay the bills and she needs to get back to work!

SillyMillysMummy · 27/04/2009 08:52

Morning first time in the staff room 2 mindees today but dont arrive until 9.30, also got dd off school as she has been generally under the weather and looks really tired

Off to a new toddler group this morning (after meeting a lovely local cm on Sat) and have had 2 sets of enquiries from prospective parents, so things are generally looking up

I have seen most of you on here around, so hope to be spending more time in the staff room (((((( have brought croissants and hot coffee for all)))))

Shoshe · 27/04/2009 08:55

Welcome Milly, (sneaks croissants from Milly's bag)

Good to see you have met another lovely CM

mumsanutter · 27/04/2009 08:56

Morning, eldest ds is off school ill, so as have him at home and as neighbours son is also ill I've got him until either dad or mum get home as well- luckily not starting work today until 12 and he should be gone by then

Actually working this week, might find it hard as have been very part time for the past 2 months!!

Drizzle here and its not nice, I'd got used to walking to school and can't really do that in the drizzle - ds3 will have a melt down his favourite words at the mo are 'I hate you mum' so .........

leonifay · 27/04/2009 09:58

mornig all, lots of rain here 2 mindees this morning, who were incedently 1 1/2 hours late picking 1 more up from nusery later, then off to stay and play this afternoon.

not looking forward to pick up today, have to deal with a complaint from a parent about payment. hopefully i can stand my ground and sort it, if not i will be posting about it later!

right now 1 mindee is sleeping and the other is watching tv (and has been since he turned up ) hope everyone has a nice rainy day today

Good morning lovely ladies of the staff room (and Nick!)

I have an inpromptu half day, since DD has a foot injury and I don't want her at home alone.

Anyway, I was just doing Rainbow related things and I found this colour pages website and thought of you!

You may well already have it in your files for use, but in case you haven't, it's very good!

Hope you are all well.
Love Mo xx

Not working today, was going to go for a walk but the rain is putting me off. Have to go food shopping though, so guess I had better go and get something for lunch.

A parent e-mailed me a lovely babysitting reference this morning, so have just uploaded that to my website - Read Babysitting Reference

Hope you all have a great day.

nannynick · 27/04/2009 14:09

If any of your mindees (or their parents) have been in the following countries in the past 7 days, then refer to HPA Guidance on Swine Flu.

United States (San Antonio, Texas; San Diego, Imperial County, California; New York City)
Mexico
