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

I have a question, I remember a while ago someone talking about a book designed for you to read to your bump, it was from amazon I think

Does anyone know what its called?

Its just OH likes talking to bump but I think he feels silly sometimes cos he doesnt know what to say, so I think having something to read would be good?

Any suggestions?

oh tricky! Will your mum want the same time alone with K or can you be there too? Not that that sounds ideal!

Hi Kindof

no idea on the book, sorry. DH reads to ME every night though, so I think Kester is used to Daddy's voice now

That's odd! I wonder why she isn't getting to start? They told me before she started nursery because of her birthday, she doesn't get to start until Sep 2011!

So Charlotte will just have turned 5 at the end of P1? Keira will be starting at 5yr 4months. But then her friends in her class, are going up to P1 this year and one of them has the same birthday as her (1 year older).

Maybe it's different rules in Scotland and England?

I'm not too bothered, at least I won't feel bad if she is ever behind a lil bit, but would of been nice for all day peace and quiet :rotfl:

Button - the main difference between england and scotland is that the intake yeaer is different. In scotland it runs from March-March, but England have a different 'year' IYKWIM.

HAve another social day ahead - coffee at a friends house in about 45 mins s better get a moev on, then soft play this afternoon. It's £2 for under 12months and £3.xx for over 1's. However everyone seems very excited about a new place that's opening at the end of the month - but it is over £6 per child and they charge £1 per adult - but due to the age group, you have to be there to accompany your child?!

We won't be going at that price! Or am I being a meanie?

Nap time beckons for LO, and I have to get myself together to go out. See you all soon.

Oh and a big congratulations to Benjamin on his first word I'm very proud!

She'd want the same hour for hour, shes quite childish:rolleyes: Its not fair of her.
K is also PIL's 1st grandchild. my mum watched DD when she was a baby but a lot changed in 13yrs x
