Had a phone call from lady yesterday who said she got my phone number from Somerset Information Service website but she wasn't ringing about childcare she wanted to talk about how caring I was and how she had a great business opportunity for someone who was as caring as me and I would join her in her business and run it along side childminding, and how often people who worked in a care or health based job really did well in the new business - bla bla bla bla - I had a good idea of what this company and the product was as I have heard it all before from someone I used to childmind for and an old friend who rang me up out of the blue after no contact for 20 years!
I then told her how busy I was with my very successful childminding business, how busy I was with helping set up a new independent childminding group in my town and how busy I was with my newish grandson - thought I would waffle on back for a while and waste her phone bill! Any way I eventually asked her what the product was and my hunch was correct, it was Forever Living products - which don't get me wrong are lovely products, I used to buy them from a mindees parent, but it made me very angry that this people are now using internet data bases to contact us about things not childminding related - today I see that this woman has viewed my profile on childcare.co.uk - so be warned people in Somerset - she is working her way through the list!! I had time to waffle yesterday as it was my day off but wouldn't have normally spend that long on the phone.
