Feeling much better :)

[kellyskidz!]

Hi and happy Friday!
As many of you will have seen I've not had the best of weeks this week and it almost got me and made me admit defeat as a childminder. Not anymore!
I'm love my job and am good at it and I'll be dammned if anyone tries to threaten me into giving up what I love.
I've decided that the parent who did not pay fees and threatened me with OFSTED may well have £90 of my money but she has revealed herself as a liar and a thief. I know I can sleep at night now, I don't know how she can.
If I don't get it back at least I know I'm an honest person and have a clear conscious and, to me, that's worth far more than £90
I'm so glad I found this forum and am SO grateful to every single person who gave me advice yesterday in what was a scary horrible time for me. I never thought id be feeling so positive so quickly again and it's thanks to knowing everyone was so kind and I had support here!
You're all amazing!! I only hope I can offer the same good advice too and help another childminder in a bad situation to see there are solutions and to not give up
I feel like I'm typing an oscars acceptance speech here lol so I'll wind up now, but thanks again! Off to have a long fun day out with the kids in the sunshine

I'm so glad you feel better today.It's a horrible, horrible thing when another person makes you feel the way you did.Remember-she was in the wrong not you.
You sound like a fantastic childminder and the families that you care for are lucky people.
The parent who let you down doesn't deserve you, and what goes around comes around-she'll get her just desserts one day.
Have a great day with your mindees-keep smiling!

Glad you are feeling more positive.

My friend has a 48hr theory. She says that no matter what life throws at you, 48hrs later you have got the initial upset/worry/shock/anger out of your system and can feel better/positive/ready to plan to move forward. (Even when her ex hubby asked for a divorce!)

Well done you. You did it in 24 !-)

So great to hear you are feeling positive. What goes around comes around and one day she will be paid back in her own way.
