    cool. 3 days would be great - I'll try to convince my parents they should come and live at ours 3 days a week!!!
    :eek::eek::eek::eek: Where will I go?
    I have emailed about nursery fees for a day but it looks to be in the region of £110 so not sure if a 3rd day would be viable

    They live 45 mins drive away. It will be worth asking them if they could do 3 days, - we could offer a compromise of taking the kids up to them from sept til nov, and then down to ours when they start school, or pay their petrol?

    3 days is just a bit harsh on them as they also look after our nephews for 2/3 days a week so they would end up doing 5 days of full time childcare and my father in law still works part time

    well i guess you have to weigh it up ..... i suppose a decision can be made after speaking to cccs re choices, its a case of the job .... i understand re fil i guess maybe could you ask some one who is nearer to watch the kids on the one day or i guess shop around some more for childcare fees... is it 110 a day or 110 a month ?

    It is a day as we have 3 under 3's so it is frightening. Hopefully the nurseries might be able to reduce a little with sibling discounts and given that the twins could be out at school for 3 hours of the day

    Would anyone buy them? I guess they could be handy to keep in a cupboard and get them out when there is housework to be done
