They can't track actual views of people's pages, only 'active' things - so Liking, commenting and wall posts. So not so much stalking as the opposite really, you don't get the stalkers showing up!

i didnt know Claire was a childminder.....i was on the nicma website, and was actually thinking of becoming registered myself. although i dont know if i could do it!

Something to think about if you are genuinely interested in this...
I can only speak from my experience in finding a CM, but I chose mine because it was obvious that she really loved doing it and wanted to to it, and wasnt doing it as a way of getting paid while looking after her own kids
For example, one I met had two girls of her own and looked after a boy, and she had only pink toys, pink dvds, pink cutlery etc, and when I went the boy was making jewellery with the girls! She also told me that she was planning to "get a job" when her children were at school, so I dont think she really even classed childminding as a job!
In comparison, mine has 5 kids of her own but the youngest is 11. She has had an extension built onto her house for the kids to play in, and the extension has floor-to-ceiling storage full of toys.
I know I'm not everyone, but I know I was put off by CM's that had their own children at home... MFD was the same, but ended up with a CM with her own kids at home, so you never know!


My crawling mobile baby is impossible to keep track of!!!!!

OOH my to do list for 2010!

Book a wedding
Lose at least 4st!!
Take on another day at work a week
Get Seth in his own room!!
Get the cats going out
Use the car less

Not worrying about debts til after the wedding they can wait til its paid for! Bad I know, but I'm probably going to have to go bankrupt to get rid of them and I dont think the insolvency practitioners would allow saving for wedding funds
Fairy dad mother said yesterday he would go halves with us on the reception cost

Hi Aless I admit that south London is not as bad as I feared Yes, DW is Californian, from the Bay area by San Francisco, lovely part of the country! Where are you from?

I'm originally from Texas but have lived over here for over 3 years. Hubby is English. San Fran is lovely - only been once, but really enjoyed it.

scruffy (sorry multiquote fail) - yeah a lot of people have said that's a good thing to do! so start at 6 months and then say, "you're half a year"; "you're one-and-a-half", etc?

FINGERS CROSSED, hopefully Finn turned a wee bit of a corner last night - he successfully slept in his basket from 8pm - 5am last night!! Well, with feeds in between of course but he went back to sleep after all his feeds - and only not at 5am b/c he got hiccups! I can totally handle getting up & feeding every 2.5/3hrs so long as he sleeps in-between them...really hope this isn't just a fluke and he starts doing this most nights .

We're going to venture to the library today so hopefully my little man will behave himself in public.

My goals for 2010 are fairly simple...
- lose baby weight + extra from pre-preg, hopefully mostly in time for my sister's wedding in July. I know I won't lose it *all*, but I'd like to get back down to a 12/14 size as had only fairly recently gone up to 16 before getting pregnant.
- breastfeed Finn for as long as possible, successfully do baby-led weaning when he's ready
- make mommy friends locally and make a huge effort to socialise more

Morning all

Im snowed in :mad:

Feel exhausted, I was playing poker till 3am, thought the kids would be going with their dad for a few hours today and I could have caught up on some sleep, but with the snow it doesnt look like anyone will be going anywhere.

Came out £550 richer :j though.
