    EA hope your dad is okay. Does he live on his own? Is there anyone else who could pop in to visit him without it looking weird?

    Yeah he lives alone, i dont know if he's told anyone how he's feeling. I was going to call my nan, but if she didn't know she'll only worry.

    I get my phone back tomorrow so im going to text him to see how he is.

    EA - Super cute!

    Jack's new thing is scrunching his nose up, he looks like an angry dog!

    Aw bless! :D Earlier she was on DH's lap and i was on the laptop, she started to climb across him to get to the laptop.
    My arm was in the way though so she ended up with her mouth on my arm and was laughing when i looked at her :rotfl:

    Mine shuts at 5.45pm and is £5 for every 15 mins after that.
    Can you not change your working hours?

    My Regional Manager is very accomodating but asking her to change what time the shop closes might be a step too far lol :p

    I work for a ladies clothing company so we have standard opening times 9 - 5.30. After we close we need to take the tills off, count all the money and close everything up. Really management are expected to be there 8.30 till 6 but I was always home for 5.50 (I'm very slick at getting us out on time lol) but if the tills were wrong or we had a customer that wouldn't leave then occasionally it may be just getting to 6 so there might be the odd time that I'm late. I wouldn't want to be stressed every night dashing to get there on time.

    Aw, poor thing. What do you think is unsettling her?

    Not a clue but she has just fed nicely and seems a bit more settled. Early night for me just in case its a very disturbed one. Night all

    I think i'll join SalesS in an early night. ;)

    OH is in work til 3am :(, and i'm going to visit a friend in Cumbria tomorrow, staying overnight. It was planned months ago, before OH got his shift pattern - typically he's on til 3am again so V is going to his Mum for the night for the first time ever :eek: and J & L are going to my Mum for the night.

    I need to start looking at nurserys soon :( Most of the ones I've seen say 8am - 6pm. I don't get out of work until 5.45 so it's touch and go that I'll get there for 6 - does anyone know if in general they give you a bit of leeway? Ie would it be a problem if I didnt get there until 10 past? I might have to look at one near where I work rather than near where I live.

    Mine charges £5 if you are late - they are open 7-6pm but have 2 shifts for you to choose 7-5 or 8-6, if you want the extra hour a day you pay an additional £2 a child per day. Our prices are £38.11 under 2s and £35.48 over 2's

    Nursery is a hard thing to work out, I agree they cost too much but then you have to pay to get good staff, if they charge less then they only get young girls working there.
