Thanks Everyone!!!
I really dislike the picture tho, Alex was really playing up at the time and hid behind the curtians and wouldnt come out. I had to bribe him with chocolate (great childminder huh? lol) when he did sit on me he kept on hiding his face agaisnt me, so i was pushing my face againt his to keep him looking at the camera and obviously forgot to smile lol.
I think it would have been better if it was a more natural, sometihng like me playing with the kids.
As far as the article goes i like it, wish they had included what schools I can do they cut that out and there was a couple of other bits, now im just waiting for the phone to ring.
Thank you once again to Kerrie, I owe you big time, cant beelive you did all that for me, thank you.
Gareth

Well done Kerrie - that's brilliant.
Can we make you the official publicity manager for the forum? If you ever decide you want a career change you should consider journalism.
Good luck Gareth - I'm really rooting for you mate. You deserve a shot at this childminding lark. :D
I'm keeping everything crossed that the phone starts ringing soon.
That's fantastic, let's hope the phone never stops!!!!
