This woman must think I have time to kill! A potential parent was meant to come over today for a visit. She is 25 mins late. It was such a struggle to get the kids to sleep and now I have she is not even here. I could have taken them out... Shes lucky I am even considering taking on her child with the challenges it will involve.

Ooh that's my pet hate too, lateness! In this day and age it's so easy to phone or send a text to saying running late, will be there at.. Especially for something like an appointment. Did she show up in the end?x

Her first visit she was 1 hour and half late and sent me a email half hour after her appointment to ask about buses. I saw it too late to cancel. Today she didnt bother to turn up. I have decided if she does contact me I am going to say I need reliability from parents and I dont think it is going to work out.
