I have had a mindee since June last year and the mum has always been a bit flimsy with payment. I've always had to chase her up for it and would get paid eventually. Just before Christmas she owed me a months money(around £300) and in the end I refused entry to the child till the bill was paid. I didn't charge for the month that he was off becos I knew I'd never get the money. Anyway,new year came and she paid wat was owed and I thought she was sorting herself out.. But today I get a msg saying work(NHS) have fluffed her money up and she's not getting paid tomorrow(my pay day) so can she pay double next week? I'm so fed up of her mucking me around,I said actually no,afraid not. I've got bills and a business to run,so long story short ,today was his last day. I won't get paid for this week but sometimes I think you've got to cut your losses. I've now got a full time vacancy and will insist on money upfront so this doesn't happen again!!!! Just wanted some reassurance that I've done the right thing???
