    Default At a loose end!!

    Hi all i had a phone call the first one!
    The parents were coming to see me tonight to sign contracts and an hour before they were due i got the dreaded call.
    ITS CANCELED
    They have tried to find cheaper and cant and then they cant get child tax credits and so cant afford to send there 2 kiddies i am so gutted its unreal but to make matters worse i was told my number had been passed to another mum who was in need of care and they havent called so im doubley gutted Things need to start looking up for me...

    Hi Chez,

    I know how you are feeling!

    I mind on a Tuesday and Thursday so on the other days I feel like I am wasting my time and registration.

    I have had quite a few enquirys but not much has come of them for one reason or another.

    I really hope that you get some more phone calls soon, keep us posted.

    I hope Sunday goes well too.

    Love

    Debbie

    Sorry to hear it didn't work out. Hang in there and try not to feel too down. It's very slow right now where I am but coming here to the forum keeps me motivated and inspired.
