    Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    I've just done him a chart on my whiteboard, items to remember and days of the week. He can tick the items each day when he's checked he has got everything.

    DH and I have agreed he could maybe get a treat for not forgetting anything all week, and maybe forfeit something if he forgets more than one item a week.

    Sound OK?
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Has anyone got any ideas:

    At the moment I work Tuesday evenings (Stu has kids), Wednesday days (Ryan at school, Natasha at nursery), and Saturday days (Stu has the kids).

    For at least the next couple of weeks, Stu having the kids isn't an option (I don't want to go into why, but it's not that I want to keep him away from his children, please believe that).

    I'm going to talk to work later and let them know what's happening, but I need to try and work out if there's any way I can still do my job (it's unlikely I can change my hours).

    My Mum and Dad might be able to help a bit - but they live 30 miles away, so having the kids overnight on Tuesday (as I work till 11pm so it's too late to go and pick them back up) isn't really possible as Ryan has school on Wednesday.

    And I really have no clue what to do about the Saturday.

    Help - any ideas anyone? :eek:

    I'd be happy to babysit (I'm even CRB checked), but I'm busy this tuesday, saturday and next tuesday.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Snaggs could you take holidays or parental leave in the short term?
    At least it will give you some breathing space
