hi, vintage
there is no illness here but i am feeling blue blue blue too!!! happy lot we are!
one of my parents has been made redundant so i have lost that child (and I LURVE her!!) other one is dropping 5 afternoons to 3, another is going on maternity leave and is going to want to negotiate retainer.
and to top it all i am having behaviour management problems. i won't say anymore now because i am a bit upset and frustrated and don't want to come across as a mean old cow (which i probably am!)

BUT: enough about me.... i do hope that you are feeling better soon. horrible time of year to be off and not earning, too! and there must be a good reason why that baby is not coming to you - maybe something better will come along! i have to tell myself everything for a reason otherwise i will go stark raving mad!

off to make come coffee. anyone want some?

OK ... is it miserable day today? Here's my contribution. Got notice from a school holiday mindee yesterday (really lovely little boy) and still 2 full time vacancies needing to be filled. It'll be a light Christmas in our house

Closed today as i've got to go to a funeral in a bit, i'm absolutely dreading it. A close friend of mine has been through so much,but a couple of years ago she met a lovely man, they got together with their children 2 each, set the date for the wedding next year, booked the honeymoon, he died very suddenly,a brain aneurysm. Its just am awful mess.

Danthe4th - thank you for putting my petty complaints into perspective. Hope you are OK.

I know its late and don't want to add too much to the sad feelings, but I have just found out 2 siblings are moving abroad for 2 years , offered to move with them and become their nanny, DH wasn't very impressed , but I love them both sooo much. Although the money will be missed, I am more upset at loosing them.
