    Default I wish...

    ... parents would stop asking me to work my Fridays off as a one off... Oh especially on the 3rd Jan as I would have had some time off over Christmas so they thought I might consider it

    And of course you have nothing better to do than look after their child. It's a laugh innit, can you imagine Tesco's, Metro or schools, asking their employees to come in on their day off because they have had a few days holiday over Christmas and they thought "they wouldn't mind" HA HA HA that would get in the papers. UNBELIEVABLE but not really!! Nothing surprises me anymore.

    Of course I said No!!!!

    It just annoys me that people just can see why I might want some time off. I haven't had a full week off since Easter!!!!!

    We're not allowed a life. Same mum sometimes sends her daughter to me on Monday for the morning so she can shop in peace. She at the beginning of December asked could I have her daughter for the whole day one Monday in December as she wanted to go to meadowhall. I've asked every week if she needs me and she never lets me know till last minute. Think she's expecting to do it next Monday but she's not asked yet. Not a chance I'll work I'm finishing for Xmas tomorrow. Yippee xx

    I used to occasional work my days off now I won't do it. In what other job would a person do overtime 8-6 or more for £4 per hour. Cos normally if I work my day off its just for one child.
