    Being off work and on a bussmans holiday I have spent a lot of hours on the diffrent sites. I also enter the competitions and send for the freebies.

    Good Luck GG and David Webb on your new jobs, I am happy to know we will be starting new jobs on the same day.;)
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

  • Im also starting a new job on Monday, worried too as I've worked from home for that past 7 years, and never actually 'worked out and about' for/in a company.

    Good luck to you

    Kettle on, tea made, feet up, browse MSE and reflect on all the good things that happened today......
  • Well done, I would def say that your age and childminding are bonuses. Whenever I looked at nurseries and pre schools I preferred the ones with mature ladies. The other thing is that you are back in the workplace environment and can decide what to do next or stay put. Good luck and the children are lucky..
