That pint of milk quote really irritates me! How on earth is that a justified 'point'? It just makes me wonder who the heck they are and why they can't just sort out the shopping. Stoopid.

[mazza58]

me too, does she think that we are not capable of making sure that we get milk with our weekly shopping or we can go to the shops when we have no children, or maybe we are quite capable if we do run out which I never have of going to the shops anyway. we do visit the shops which i feel help the children in uw, cll by allowing them to find food items that we might need and then talk about this and let them pay for them and I am able to do this with 3 not sure i would want to do it with 4 but that is my own personal preference

[jackie 7]

this is the woman who said that children should not be made to learn first aid that it should be added later if they wanted it. She has no idea on anything, not even what political party she belongs to. first a socialist then a lib dem and now a conservative. What next the monster raving loony party, oh sorry she is a paid up member.

On the update statement NCMA posted today I would like to see a link to our petition. Perhaps there are some CMs who aren't on here or Mumsnet, so possibly unaware.

I'm able to keep in the loop as I'm not working much at the mo - but many CMs might be out of the loop. I've been tweeting, posting and emailing all day long, but wouldn't be if I was looking after little ones. Some CMs prob not reading Mumsnet webchat until this evening.

at my local childminding group yesterday morning....not one of the 11 childmnders there had heard of these proposals!!! needless to say I updated them and invited them all to join the forum to read it for themselves......I also took along some print outs of the proposals

[SammySplodger]

Exactly - we are all working so hard it's easy to 'live under a rock' from Mon to Fri and be knackered over a weekend so not manage to stay in the loop. Am seeing a bunch if CMs later this morning and will make sure they know.

And some people still don't use forums or social media on a regular basis.

[SammySplodger]

Yes - can report back same - not everyone knows. Mainly due to heads down working and not being in the habit of using fora or social media.
