    It depends which way round you want to do it - whether you want to express all sales in "old" money or all sales in "new" money.

    Please don't confuse me any further than I already am Z. Glad I got the hang of it before my head exploded though.:j

    God I sound incompetent dont I but I am quite good at my job really:o , well sometimes I am...hey we can all have a bad day cant we!
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    How the hell do you poach an egg? I have half an hour to get to work and I really fancy poached egg on toast but everytime I put one in the pan it immediately turns into an exploded jelly fish!! Tried to do one in the microwave...big mistake!

    Stir the water before you gently put the egg into the middle :)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Lol, I think this thread is a bit over my head today. :o

    Just rang nursery and Natasha is okay, but she wouldn't drink her milk, and cried for a bit but then fell asleep.

    Wish I could go and cuddle her. I had no idea I would miss her this much.
    Awww hunny... don't worry. She's in good hands and the sooner she gets used to the idea of being away from you the more independant and confident she'll be when she's older. I know that's no consolation to you now, but speaking from someone who's eldest started nursery at 13 weeks and worked in a nursery, she'll be fine, and YOU'LL be fine.. you're just so used to having her around 24/7 it's bound to take a bit of getting used to.. the settling in sessions are for you as much as her...

    Was this meant for Snaggs or Natasha?

    It's awful when your baby starts nursery!
    I sat at home not knowing what to do and if I did go out, I felt like I'd left my handbag somewhere...I.E I kept having little "S**t, where is she?....Oh yes, at nursery!" moments
