& my apostrophies are now question marks - I hate that

good god, you are REALLY thinking about this long and hard aren't you!
Are you "building" a nursery or just planning on sending your child to one?

Bit confused, sorry

Building one (I hope)

Which bit? (or all of it - in which case I need to rethink)

Oh i see!

I thought that you were going to be making some demands on a nursery that you have chosen for your child!
Thought that the type of windows and flooring was going a bit far!!!

Sorry!

Perfectly reasonable....do you think I'd find one?

Am chuckling as i write this Katie, not critising at all, i get it now.
Meant to say sorry that i havent been following your threads on the subject.

Its fab that you are so thorough with this and comendable that you are considering every possible option.
Parents will be very very lucky to have you provide child care for them.

very best of luck with thi. We are investigating all this stuff as we try to drag our 1960's house into the 21st century and is is so expensive - why? i wonder? we'd love to do the right thing but it's difficult when it all costs so much.

Thank you GrumpyFrumpy, Littleducks, Funnyperculiar, Wigglejiggle & Yogabird

I really appreciate this

Some of these things cost a lot and knowing that people either care or don't really matters to the decisions I make
