    I'm with Sami, there's always going to be idiot parents taking ill children to play centres or sending them to school... Our local soft play closed a couple of weeks ago for a deep clean, AFAIK there's nothing sinister in it... It took the smell of feet out for a couple of days (but didn't make the balls in the baby pit look any better). It shows a sense of responsibility more than anything... At least they're trying...

    I don't really see that there's any further you can take it if EH are satisfied?

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Oh yeah, my joolz rain cover arrived today so time to sell my twister :( I don't want to sell either of them, I love them both.

    Quite pleased, first quote for the stairs and a velux window to the loft, £1210, and the guy was nice. (sorry, very random but as DH is working I can't share my excitement with him)

    I thought I'd solved Fitz's bath seat dilemma until I saw the price :eek:

    10% off and £5 vouchers knocking around?

    Tara I think it's SJ that does cupcakes, if she can get them delivered safely :)

    Work nightmares continue, I will be working late tonight, but right now Molly is playing at pretending to BF and I'm stuck here.

    Forgot to reply to this... It was about people who could hear their neighbours toilet noises... Made me think of you lol...

    Lol. Luckily i don't hear those!! I'd be forever puking if i could.

    The music playing neighbours have been quiet, but to make up for it, the other side have done nowt but bang all day :mad::mad::mad: They're blatantly doing it to be funny cos i complained about her moronic nephew.

    I saw the woman who wanted a swap but has now moved anyway.

    She said after she'd spoken to me and i gave no straight answer, she went to the council and said i might swap with her.

    They told her they wouldn't allow me to swap into a 2 bed house because i have a boy and a girl?!??!?!!!!! Well what the foooooooooooooook?? They won't let me apply for an empty 3 bed house, but they won't let me swap into a 2 bed??

    Idiots!!!!

    I don't think it matters really, the only reason the boys have been with me is because they always are on weekdays when the council info place is open

    SS it's still £22 after the voucher & disc when the one usually in tesco etc is £10 :)

    I agree Krystal. Kids catch and spread around everything going and there was a fair few folk on here ill at the same time, 3's lot for example.
    The deep clean just says to me thats TT being responsible after EH raised possible concerns??

    have you actually checked that tho? I thought the general rue is that a child under 5 or something can/should share with you, might have made that up tho

    csh- I think, from reading colleagues' FB pages, that my stand-in has recruited an ex-employee who I have BIG issues with. I really hope it's crossed wires, but I will be mightily peed off if that is the case and no-one contacted me as the previous employer to check references. I'll pop into work this week and get the full story.


    We've been clearing out H's room today. It had become a bit of a dumping ground while he was in with us, but it nice and tidy.


    Eek I'd be !!!!ed off too! Do you not have a policy about not re-employing old staff??

    Oh, do we mean ex-employee at current or previous employment?
