Well R started yesterday and it was great. Communicating was a bit tough what with the language barrier but I am sure we'll get around that over the next few weeks.
While he was here, I received a phone call from a parent who wanted me to take on his two girls starting tomorrow (now today). They came to see me pretty much straight away - definitely keen! Anyway, they called back and said they definitely wanted me to have their girls. I had a "bad" feeling about them though. First impressions... well they weren't great. I'm not a snob, far from it but to be a little presentable wouldn't have gone a miss.
Anyway, after loads (and I mean loads) of calls from them (I wasnt answering as I wasn't 100% sure whether I wanted the family), I decided to go with it. They start today. 10 - 2pm today, Tuesday 7am through to 2pm and then the following week although not known times due to both parents working shifts.
Am now dreading it all as parents went away happy with fees and then later questioned me over them over the phone - grrrr :angry: . Will be interesting to see whether Dad brings cash or a cheque but if it's a cheque, I am going to turn away. We agreed cash yesterday.
Anyway I hope I dont live to regret my decision of saying yes. So wish me luck, am very sceptical about today!!
