    Nope, the choco squares are seriously filling! Plus I had quite a lot :o I'm like a greedy 5 year old when it comes to them.

    Might have just got a babysitting client! Got an email from an ad I put on gumtree, they need two babysitters as they have a 6 month old, a 2 year old, a 4 year old, and a 12 year old, so it would mean NIM and I both going, but its £6 per hour plus £12 for petrol (its about 45 mins drive away) so would be a really nice boost, plus she says the kids go to bed really early so NIM could do his uni work :D

    Sounds promising Dinah! People make a fair bit from babysitting, would be a nice boost for you two. Sounds like good ages for babysitting too. Can easily pop High School Musical on (well, if the 12 yo is a girl!) to keep them entertained.

    It's the weekend!! OH is running late for picking me up so I'm going to turn the Office upside down looking for some paperwork one of the guys lost. :rolleyes: Hope you all have nice weekends x

    Very quiet on here this afternoon! That babysitting job sounds like a good deal, Dinah, especially if they have wireless internet! And nice to play house with NIM too :) My boss asked if I would babysit his 3 year old, but I turned him down - I'm just not keen on the idea; it's too much like mixing business with pleasure, or is that business with business...?

    I also succumbed to a pasty this lunchtime (naughty) and I forgot to weigh in on Wednesday, so I've got a tough few days ahead to make sure I lose double next week! Hm, but going out for a friend's birthday dinner on Saturday, so will have to drag myself to the gym too!

    The babysitting job sounds good, I used to have to babysit four kids that was a nightmare, will be easier with two of you!
