ey up gang :wave:

well....what can I say....today has been the best day for a couple of weeks with mini-Gun #2. Mr Narky 8-y-o has had us in tears with his behaviour, but today seems to have been pretty good. All I can say is long may it continue, but we haven't got to bed-time yet....if we can just get through that with no probs......

Hope everyone else has had/is having a good day

Parents in England who regularly look after friends' children and receive a "reward" for doing so must register as childminders, regulator Ofsted says.

It said most parents would be exempt but those who babysat for more than two hours at a time, or for more than 14 days per year, should be registered.
The "reward" could be money or free baby-sitting in return, it said.

.
Seriously, the world has gone mad. You can't babysit for more than 2 hours for someone, and have them babysit for you in return, without being registered as a childminder? !!!!!!!

Sometimes you need to do this to let out pent-up feelings that need to be released in order for you to move on.....don't worry about it, have a good cry and feel better for it

Yeah you're not far from being sub 9k - think of it in terms of what you've already achieved and maybe treat yourself a little when you get to that milestone rather than feeling down about the journey left to come...

Hope you feel better soon

Thanks, the trouble is, I feel right now that all the advice I have been given and all the stuff I have read I somehow don't fit in to and I am beyond help the kids have given me a really rough day and my parents don't want to know about my financial mess. As far as they are concerned its all my own fault. Which is true to the most extent but Im not asking them who is to blambe crying seems the only thing I have left at least they cant stick my tears on an itinerary and pack them off to auction.

It was nearly sub 9k, but then some nasty things came out of the woodwork
