MSE Parents Club Part 11

If you think you might want a CM, it might pay you to go through the NCMA, a childminder network. While all CM's have to be registered with Ofstead, its a lot harder to get into the NCMA, and they do more visits than Ofstead, and according to my CM they are a lot stricter. But she is NCMA so she might be biased

I'm not happy, I have a big girl who can sit unaided and un-propped for as long as she wants and eats lunch by herself (sandwich and a banana) and drinks her milk by herself out of a cup.

Oh and I had to take the cot bumper off last night, she keeps pulling it down over her face! The boys never did that! So now I will have to keep a torch and spare dummies to play hunt the dummy (till one night I can't be bothered and she gets to go cold turkey).

:T:T:T Go Amber!

Jack loves having things over his face. As he's been going to sleep in our bed (Still not sorted his blind ) and he snuggles up to OH's pillow (:() and stuffs his face into it! Have to move him once he's asleep.

Aw how cute is Christopher! And Ed was very cute doing his no, no, no yesterday!

My friend is going to become a childminder - she's starting the course in May but can't have a baby til her LO is 1 (a week after J) so from September he might go to her for 3 days and Creche for 2 days as she won't charge me in the holidays! :j
But there is the problem that if she was ill I'd be fooked!

Sent my phone off today :money:

Meh, sod it. I think I need to bake a cake! We've not finished the last one yet though

Oh, the woman from the charity furniture shop rang back and snootily said they dont take single armchairs, and suggested that if we gave them both then they would! What is the world coming to! The bl00dy charity shop tried to upsell me on my donation!

Any ideas for getting rid of one single armchair? Offered on freecycle loads but no takers

Afternoon all.. I hope you're all out making the most of the sunshine, and don't read this till later just popping on priefly to let you know elc has some happyland stuff on half price. I got a load of animals to top up Izzy's farm (we went in for a football to take to the park, but you can never come out of a shop with only what you went in for... it is written in the small print don't-you-know!)

Would be very mse. but i must admit this is why i went back to a nursery as when a CM has holidays/are sick if they have no-one who covers them yu have to take the time off work. at least with nursery its only of K is sick that he doesnt go. which hopefully wont be that often.

Our council actually has a free bulky item collection service which is free for the first few times you use it each year.

I think we have to pay to get the council to uplift anything, good job the bucket room is huge, I just dump my stuff there and secretly laugh about it

Em - They sound like douches, is there no other chazza shop that will take it? Shocking nowadays, got to be the best of everything before they take it!

YEY FOR AMBER!! Can I have some of her sandwich?

Oooooooooooooooo we're getting ready to go BOWLING!!

It's a friend's birthday and we're all off to bowl and then have drinks. I'm not sure precisely what one wears to bowl but I'm hoping to dig something out of my wardrobe...

I got my furminator through the post today, I attacked the cats with gusto, and they did the same to moi. I actually thought i'd have more problem with anti social grey cat but noooooo the issue was with Archie, who's hair is the bane of my life



That was after 2mins of brushing them each. I'm going to attack them later with it again. It's quite satisfying, like picking a scab :rotfl:
