Good luck pink, I'm sure you'll be fab!

Know what you mean about it being quiet... I've had a few meetings and it all seems to go really well and then I don't hear back from them. Not sure where I'm going wrong... well except I charge more than some of the competition - but then you get what you pay for! Waiting for prospective mum to arrive in 10 mins, so keep your fingers crossed for me too please.

LoveMyGirls · 08/03/2010 13:54

Good Luck PC!!

Leeloo - good luck too!!

I need some new children too, I'm starting up wall murals as a sideline for when I'm quiet but haven't had any interest in either yet.

Good luck, its also very quiet around here as well, but this morning the local children centre asked me if I could do a creche for 12 weeks so shall be doing that every friday.danthe4th

leeloo1 · 08/03/2010 21:26

Thanks, the meeting went well (I think) mum was really lovely and little boy was cute and busily chewed his way through a treasure basket and box of instruments! Will keep my fingers crossed that it works out.

Then had a phonecall from a mum I met last week - she said she was impressed and wanted to use me but he husband refuses to use a CMer. It was nice of her to call to tell me, but it makes me wonder why people visit and take up so much time/energy when they don't want to use a CMer? I had another mum a few weeks back who at the end of a 2 hour visit told me she'd rather have a nanny and asked me how she could go about finding one.

PinkChick · 09/03/2010 17:41

No, haven't heard back yet, but I emailed her lots of policy documents today so hopefully that'll spur her into making a decision.

How's everyone else? Hope you all had good days.
