The lady just said she would email her to get her to call me but don't know when she'll call. She's the local inspector so I'm not expecting a rapid response lol.
Just trying not to get my hopes up again! lol!

Congrats for coming off the ADs! I hope the inspector person sees sense and changes thier mind.

Also I am pleased that you have given yourself treats to match Steves football thing, only I hope you spend your money on something for you thats way better than sport!

congratulations about the anti-depressants - you definitely don't need them. OFSTED have made a decision today about something that was wrong months ago and I think you should appeal (especially as your GP now says you are fine). Good luck with the local inspector.

Right please don't shoot me but I think that it is very unlikely that the OFSTED inspector will change her mind (in such a short space of time) and register you as it was only 4 day's since her visit and they could say that you have only come off them as they have said this is the reason they wouldn't register you... did you read the letter your Gp sent to them as there must have been something in it that made OFSTED question your suitablity for Childminding at the moment. That said I really don't know how you would be able to cope with looking afer 3+ children while suffering with PD.. I know that when I had PD I found it really difficult looking after my son and that was only one child!! I take my hat off to you for feeling that you could manage that and the stress of life...
On another note I have been really biting my tounge on this one but........... I couldn't belive it when I read that you had used the citi card again for yet another console I know everyone's been saying that you/Ste deserve it as you never go out etc.... but whe on earth do you get the time to play on the XBOX360, PS3, Bass, drum machine, pc, and now senta sport's thingy..... also on that note I would really consider giving Ste the responsablity of paying the citi card from his weekly budget perhap's then the will get the idea of what you have to do on a monthy budget!! ( of course you must keep a look out so that it doesn't get out of hand and he doesn't get charge's etc... I also think that it will help him to be come more involved in your family finance's when he see's just how hard it is.... And perhaps then when the elite xbox come's out he won't winge about getting one of those too............. On another note your doing really well keep up the good work. And take each day as it come's with the PD you may have felt that you were ready to come off them but each day is another hurdle..
Best of luck I will be thinking of you! Jane

Well I'm not expecting them to magically register me but was thinking of the possibility that instead of withdrawing it completely they may just either reduce the numbers or put it on hold for a while...
But I guess you're right I should've just left it I guess. Me coming off the pills isn't that great a deal.....
As for the consoles etc it's probably me that uses them more as I'm here all day and the consoles are used every day for playing games, watching dvds etc. The music things are used a lot and Ste and I are planning on writing some music now we've got the drums, bass and pc downstairs as we can record straight into the pc and it's something we can do together when the girls are in bed. Plus Ash loves playing on the drums and trying to play the bass... so I see them as being educational for the girls as well.
What can I say about setanta sports.. well Ste's mad about football and instead of going out to pubs etc he gets his mates round for the matches.......
