Just saying hello

[whirlygiggle]

Hi, i have just joined mumsnet and have plucked up enough courage to write something! I am a mum and a childminder so thought i'd start here... i haven't got anything to say other than hello at the moment, (god, this sounds awfull...hope someone reads this...?!)

too addictive! I should be going to bed but DH is watching a film and he'll wake me up when he goes to bed. so may as well stay up anyway.

Night (again)

night night km

my DH thinks I am crazy talking in "chatrooms"
He just walked in and declered " you're mad, you are!!" maybe he is right!

mine says you on the pooter again! and I say well if you will watch films whats a girl to do!!

Really am off to bed now!! Speak again soon!

Hi whirygiggle - wecome to mn! I am a cm in west sussex. I love reading (and sometimes posting) on the childminders club threads.

Hi Blodwen...just came to see if any other messages had arrived since my departure last night.

could you tell I was online?

Hi whirlygiggle

You can't tell who's on line unless you actually post

Can you tell..I am still paranoid?

just a little

buy as i said last night don't worry

buy = but

?

yep..worked it out...bit slow today!

Just like me everyday!

kcemum...my DH is watching g/prix...i am off to make my kitchen sparkle after the devastation of lunch!! See ya!

Hello whirlygiggle , I am also have recently joined mumsnet and fin its full of fab people willing to give you fab advice or there for a natter if you need.
I'm a childminder in west yorkshire i have a boy of my own 2yrs and a stepdaughter who is 15yrs.

presently look after a 11mth old boy and 8yr old boy/girl twins.

You'll feel more at ease posting on the message boards when you have been here longer if you know what i mean. I still think should i or shouldn't i post. anyway i'm rambling on now.

Katymac and kcemum...I contacted the CIS today...they tell me there is a CM group in my area!! It only meets once a month though but better than nothing, i can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your help the other night!

Puppy...Hi to you too!

Hiya - great about the group - good luck

Hi There,
Hope you don't mind me adding a message
am new to Mumsnet and wondered how it works with chatting. Picked your thread as it mentioned Childcare! Am trying to find out how I go about finding childcare !?! only for a few hours in the day ???? any ideas. Sorry for tagging onto your thread !!!
Cheers

Feel free to tag on! I joined on Saturday night and am still plucking up the courage to join in a conversation!!! (not sure if I should but into others conversation..like they might not talk to me or something!) I am sure I will do eventually!

thanks for that.
I listed a separate thread regarding the MMR, as am v. confused as what to do. Have you crossed that hurdle ??

Hi whirlygiggle
Glad you've found a childminding group in your area, I must really make an effort to go to mine tommorrow or they will forget what I look like!

Smasha...i have not read previous threads on this mmr business, but i decided that the mmr was the way to go rather than the single vaccines...i felt that the benefits far outwieghed the risks....i have had the booster too for my girls, (they are 6 and 4) had we got a history of autism in the family, then I might have felt differently but i think i made the right decision for us. I think the fact that more people that are not taking up the MMR also increases the chance of my kids getting it if they were unprotected...maybe i am worrying too much about that and it is not reasonable but it was the way i decided ( does that make sense?!)
At the end of the day, they are your kids and only you can make that decision
