Just catching up with you and you're doing fab as usual. Well done on keeping up with the exercise and healthy eating, looks like it's paying off Doing well on tackling those debts too, great idea to take them on one at a time.

Very cheeky of the family member to just assume you'd be ok with the later pick up, he could've offered extra cash at least. You have a life too outside of the minding.

You would be surprised how many parents think I don't have a life or other interests and that's I'm at their beck and call but I'm getting better at calling them out on it so that's a good thing I guess :cool:

Definitely not harsh, they are taking the mick! I wouldn't be dropping them at a relative either, what happens if they are not there when you get there?

My nursery and even school has penalties if you are late for pickup - I think it's £10 for every 15 minutes you are late at nursery and at school they get sent to after school club and you have to pay the fee.

Morning :hello:

Did two classes last night at the gym so that's four this week so far :T taking a night off tonight as have avon to organise as my delivery arrived early this morning plus it gives my legs a chance to recover :rotfl:

Sent £439.96 towards the Halifax :j would love this to be under the £2k by the weekend :T would be tight but doable :rotfl:

We have toddler group today so a wee trip into town via the bus so will be spending money :rotfl: need to remember to get bread tho

Also have a meeting to fill up a afternoon space two days a week not that I'm fussed about filling I think but the council want it so who am I to complain :rotfl: extra pennies xx

Plans for today are to sort the avon out tonight then chill out with the hubby

Happy hump day peeps

I don't think it is harsh. I have to pay if I am late, which is a rare thing, but can occasionally happen.

Love your motivation for the gym. I am still not exercise motivated in the slightest!

You are so busy!

I feel for my childminder as she works long shifts as well. I am the first drop off at 7.15am and tonight I saw some parents picking up at 5.30pm. That's over 10 hours work. I pick up my little one earlier, but she still has others. Thankfully my little one is term time only so she gets more of a lie in when we're not going!
