Some weeks ago I agreed to hold a place for a couple from poland for their 7 month old baby, we met briefly and I told them I could only offer a mon or fri as thats all I have for an under one @ mo.(they only wanted the mon, fine!)
Anyway all went well and I decided not to ask for a retainer or to sign contracts as they were returning to poland for five weeks and on their return I would do contracts with them and baby g could have mon or fri for settling in few weeks b4 mum goes back to work.
Anyhow, yesterday I got a call from a lady wanting just a fri for lo, gr8 I thought, I have a fri to fill....BUT, I have offered baby g fri 4 settling in ova next few weeks!
cut a long story short, I dont have contact no for baby gs parents but dont want em to get upset if I give someone else a fri when I said they could have it 4 settling in, but, I could do with the money this other lo will bring in...
This would all have been much easier if parents had left their details, silly me, I know, but meeting was very rushed and in middle of afternoon when all was bit hectic with my dds!
Shall i just give new parent the fri an tell baby gs parents he will have to do settling in on eve/weekend? if i give them fri too i will be over numbers, ahhh!!!
