Were still struggling with childcare and I'm due back in 3 months eeek. nurseries are now out, tried every one local and nothing available, childrens information are sending me the childminders with vacancies for babies, so fingers crossed we'll find something or I may become a SAHM. which i have no problem with but it wasnt really the plan !!!

yeah i looked at that, rang a couple of numbers which took you to childrens information service and they said, theres an error on the website and every childminder says they 0 vacancies, so she's sending me the ones which will take babies and have vacancies. alot only take from 3 or 5 onwards because the older they are the more they can have i assume.

Yes they are only allowed to have one under one. So if they have a baby under one of their own, they can't have another.

Just a thought but, if your little one is 8mths and your back in 3mths making her 11mths, you don't really need to limit your search to CM's that have vacancies for under1's, some creative holiday taking or parental leave could get you enough time off til shes 1? (If you really want to go back that is)
Apologies if I'm stating the obvious and you realise this lol

Am has woke up with red cheeks (like teething) and then the same all over her forehead

Do you think she might have bumped her head in the night or something tto do with the cheeks??

She's fine chatting away and had her brekki, just looks a bit sore.

No idea sorry, was she too hot overnight or anything?

Re "babysitting" - it's been ranted about here before ;p I must say I use it, when either of us is staying in while the other one gets to go out. "Oh, why isn't your OH here too, I'd have loved to catch up with her?" "We couldn't get anyone to cover so she's stayed in to babysit" - etc. The point being, it's 'being at home while the other half goes out somewhere that pre-baby you would have both gone to' if that makes sense! It does in my head

It totally doesn't bother me when OH says hes babysitting, yes, hes the parent as much as I am but I'm the main carer, thats why hes at work and I'm on Maternity leave. Pretty much all decisions over what K does come through me, discussed with OH of course , but OH wouldn't randomly make plans to go anywhere,lunch with builders named Dave and things, with the baby without telling me like I would.
So he might be 'our' baby but really hes 'my' baby and 'my' job and if I'm skiving off, then OH is babysitting!

Hi CSH

Im going to ask about taking some unpaid special leave possibly. ive used all my hols to take me up to July. but an extra month of no pay wouldnt kill us!!

I know there making lots of ppl redundant so theres a chance they'll say no to get rid of me cheaply but we can only try

Thanks for the help

lots to occupy you if you get chance for a wonder, the juction to get to it is a booger if you are new to it though, unless you'll be coming from the m58?

Thank you hunny. Where's the M58 , I try to avoid coming through Liverpool where possible.

ETA: I've just done an AA route planner. I didn't even know where Wigan was - it'd be silly to go round the long way. So yes, i'll be coming from the M58.


Hugs for El & Charlie. V seems loads better but still has the smelliest wet poops. L hasn't been sick since yesterday lunchtime, but hasn't eaten yet.

:mad: For all of the grumpy OH's!

Morning ladies & Bruno.

Hope there is some good news from Caz today. And really hope El improves for you Scruffy. It's terrible that they have both gotten so ill so quickly.

I would say "babysitting" if I or OH were staying home whilst the other was out on a night out too, just in a throwaway, flippant, comment type of way. Not because I believe that it's actually akin to babysitting if we were looking after her during the day on a normal basis. Hope that makes sense....I know what I mean!

PP - When I was getting rid of my old TV, I phoned the British Heart Foundation as they have electrical shops, and they were happy to take it. You could check their website to see if any of their electrical shops are near you for the breadmaker?

Sorry for all the waking babies and tired parents. You must be shattered. I got up 4 times in the night, 3 to pop H's dummy back in when I heard her moaning, but by the time I got there, she was totally fine and still asleep, so I had jumped the gun. Just don't want her to make too much noise and wake DH! 4th time was because I felt ill, but seem ok today.

We are off to Baby Sensory this morning. Last week we turned up and the class had been cancelled so fingers crossed she hasn't forgotten to phone us this week! Then it's lunch with a friend whom I haven't seen for ages.

Bacon Roll group Csh? Or is that a Wed, I keep forgetting. Or is it closed for Easter?

Nooooooooooo :o:o

The tooth fairy forgot to come and he's NOT a happy boy :eek:

I've said it might be because i didn't leave a window open and left the keys in the holes but he's not convinced.... Any ideas for me to wriggle out of this one?? He's quite upset (i think cos i always tell him if he doesn't keep them clean she won't want them)

Lunching again Fitz?!

Wednesday is bacon roll group but closed for easter. Was at Rhymetime yesterday which is once a mth.
Need to go for messages today but soooo cba after my twenty mins of quality sleep I got last night lol

EA: K only been away twice without me and OH and about maybe 6/7 times round to the ILs with just OH I really hate him being away and nothing to do with not trusting people to look after him, I just want him all to myself.
Although would have handed him to any passing gypo at 3.30am this morning.....

Hands on knees pull the bed out and search for the money, I'm sure it'll be there somewhere

Wait until he goes to the loo or something and put the money out. Sometimes the tooth fairy runs late if she's had a busy night.

Not that I've ever had to do that mind :A:rotfl:
