Times are hard

[wellybelly]

Ive lost 3 mindee contracts this week and have just done my accounts and noticed Ive only made £300 profit. Im now into my 18th month of childminding and am seriously considering cutting my losses. Yes it works round my own children (school hours and holidays) but I feel like such a door mat to the parents I work for - its only around their terms, because Im so broke, I feel I have to oblige.

Im advertising but not heard anything yet.

Ive just put some of my multicultural resources on ebay aswell as some of my uni books. I wanted to keep them for if I go into teaching but needs must.

I hope things pick up for you soon.

It is so frustrating when you want to do the work, but it's not there. I think this is a tough time for so many people.
