    I come online when the little one is asleep and sometimes after lunch when they are on the sofa next to me having a rest... I usually leave myself signed in so I can pop in and out without too much hassle

    Depends what children I've got and what we're doing

    I usually try to pop in at least once in the day otherwise the withdrawal symptoms kick in

    I usually get 5 minutes while Graham is in charge of the mindees, just so I can keep an eye on my other charges (you lot )

    I'll pop in if the kids are asleep, or when they are at nursery (and I am supposed to be doing my QF or NVQ - hah its you lot who are too blame for me not getting on with it )
    If they are chilling watching tv I occasionally have a peep in too.

    This week I am on a "short" week so I have a fair bit of free time (which I should be using for my coursework)!! lol

    I leave myself signed in the whole day and pop on when I can

    I have been lucky lately had a lot of children ill etc

    When baby is sleeping I will pop in and If my daughter is here we take it in turns sometimes to have a break so I will leave her with the kids she is registered before anyone asks !

    Sometimes I can be here 10 min and reply to heaps of posts so that is what I tend to do through out the day

    I always pop in at around lunchtime. Mindees like an early lunch and then they all nap for a couple of hours - bliss.
