Fibromum-the paper work is horrible. crb check forms to fill in for me and DH, medical Q to be filled in and signed by Dr (which i will be charged for!) and then a whole ton of other forms and questions to be filled in/answered. i keep wondering if it will be worth it!

If my sisters experience is anything to go by, it will be!

She made the move a few years ago now, and loves it. None of the pressure of her previous job, she gets to spend so much more time with her own two girls, and they actually saved money, as she no longer needs to pay for travel, incidentals at work, the odd lunch out, or drinks after work etc etc.

She now has a full group too. It was expected as demand is so high in the area, but you just never know for sure until you actually do it.

Good luck! I am sure you will do great

Online supermarket shop done. Also ordered 6 pairs of yaktrax at significantly lower prices than expected (1 small, 2 med and 2 large of the walker, plus a pair of pro for me) so that's a whole lot of christmas presents sorted... They frequently run out when the cold weather starts. I have a US colleague who always keeps a spare of each size at home to give to people who need them.

Thanks for the reminder!!

:jYay! One 6x6 foot fence panel painted front and back (got to stop now before I over do it), wish i could post a photo of the work in progress - is this possible??, DP has put up 5 panels over the last 2 weeks (slowley catchey monkey).

Ashamed at not doing a roast today - Bunged pizza and chips in oven having a nice cuppa now and enjoying reading the thread. Thanks ladies x

I did a box reshuffle so it is stacked much more neatly.. and I found some knitting patterns, some books and some fudge! How good was that?

Cuppa glugged.. now off to fold some more washing!!! And see if DS1s stuff on the line is dry yet.

This is my biggest frog too, I have been putting it of for 2 years! It stares at me from a giant hold all in my bedroom. I had the excuse that we needed an extn built for a playroom before I start but that is now finished - builders left in June! Ah but fences not completed yet so still no secure boundary - no excuses any more will def get it out when school starts and I have piece and quiet.

I dont know about your registraation requirements but mine ar at least 50 pages!!! I will tackle it one page at a time.
Keep posting !

Good luck I registered 3 years ago, but I don't remember the paperwork being THAT daunting! They seem to add things all the time Valli is correct in saying that ANYTHING you have to pay out for, keep the receipts and put through your books as a lump sum of 'start up costs' when you start working. If you need any help, you can pm me

todays list consists of:
get trainers & PE bag for DS
[STRIKE]food shop at Asda (armed with list!!)[/STRIKE]
sort out pantry cupboard (chuck old stuff ) - maybe I should do this before shopping?
sort out junk cupboard above pantry - get rid of junk & make room for stuff I might actually use!

Not achieved much Shopping took 2 hours, including getting there and back (seemed to be a lot of traffic around).
DH just checking opening times at Sports Direct, but they may be closed now as it's BH. maybe I will attempt the cupboards in the kitchen....

im off to sort out another bag in the spare room. once ive got all this carp organised/thrown out/put in correct room it will look so much better and then once the loft ladders are in and the loft floored i will be getting help to put the things away that belong up there which will tidy up more of the spare room.
