Ahhhhhh. Sounds more confusing your way lol.


OH gets a £150 bonus this month plus his £200 OT, and next month he gets an £800 :eek: production bonus.

We want to take Keira on a holiday (she wants Eurodisney) What kinda price range (if anyone has went) am I looking at for I dunno a long weekend there?

I might use the money from this moneys bonus to buy us Rockness festival tickets....ho hum

Yay for bonus! OH has been doing a few hours overtime a night this week. There's still another two weeks in this overtime period to go so he's trying to cram in as many hours as possible (and it appears his boss is rounding them up for him too! ) so that his Feb pay packet compensates for my lack of :whistle:

How much do you fancy going for that nursery cook job, Button?

Morning all. Elle I thought you were turning in early last night?:rotfl:

And AF and Beanie (and everyone else too!) I hope you all got to sleep in the end. When did you start your new regime AF? We have been doing ours since last tuesday night and she has slept through the last 3 nights. I'm still having to gently hold her down to start with, but when she calms down I'm just sitting next to her and doing the occasional back rubbing. So we till have a little way to go, but it is taking less time to get her to sleep than it was when I was feeding her. You will get there

Ahhhh I got it. What's reception?

We do P1 - P7 up here then off to Secondary school at 11, and that's 1st year - 6th year (if you choose to do highers)

Here they start in the September after their 4th birthday and it's either:

Reception, Year 1, Year 2 in the Infant school
Year 3-6 in the Junior school

or

Reception to year 6 if it's a Primary school (which ours is!)

Then at 11 they go to secondary school for Year 7 to Year 11. GSCE's are done in Years 10 and 11.

At 16 they can stay on for sixth form and do A-Levels or equivilant, or go straight into work. This is changing though as they want children to stay in education or training until they are 18. James is in Year 6 now, but he will be the first school year that have to stay until they are 18.

I've not heard of P1-P7 before

BM in englnd you start primary the september after you turn 4yo although legally you don't have to send them until the sept after they're 5 (but they would go straight into year one and skip reception)

Our cut off date is 28th Feb. Before this they got to school in the August, 1st March or after they have to wait til the year after. If its a leap year baby you get to pick.
I was born in December so I started at 4, my sister was March so she started at 5.5
DD was September so she was almost 5 when she went.

Hello CSH (and good morning everyone!)

I've been meaning to say to you, sorry my quoting the '14 week window' meant you had to think about flexible working quite soon. Is there any of it I/we can help with?

You could pay my mortgage and I could stay off?!?

Seriously, I just need to put the letter in and see what they say. Hopefully my coat peg isn't too shakey.

I've been through OH's rota and there is no pattern to his shifts that might fit in with K going to nursery one day a week so I'll probably just tell work any three days is OK rather than 1 fixed and 2 floating. MIL really desperate to have K so I suppose I'll just have to go with that altho not ideal, but what ever is?!?

:rotfl:pay your mortgage!

so it'll likely be MIL with K on your 3 days unless DH is off that day? Sounds good!

Not really :-( My mum is the type to keep score and will want hour for hour, but the PIL are better placed for watching him and my mum has health issues. I sense an upset on the way......
Thats why I wanted a nursery, to avoid all of this
