    UNBELIVABLE,, mind you i had a call from a parent saturday morning asking for copys of her invoices and her contracts from last april till this april for tax credits,, I didnt answer the phone cause its THE WEEKEND for goodness sake,, not only that she should have copys of her contracts and I stopped doing invoices as parents said they didnt want them AND she said they dont want the info until the 15th May so why bother me on a blooming weekend.

    Oh thats so unfair Mushpea. I definately wouldn't respond to a call like that.

    If it was a call abpit new business I might though because if the parents work i can see that the long weekend is an opportunity to look for childcare. One advantage we ahve over all the Nurseries that are closed.

    Said mum said she would call back in a few minutes as she was talking to her husband about the fact that I may have family here when her son was coming (I offered her a compromise - child could come but may have to join in with my family's Easter - she actually asked if I was going to be there!! No I will just give your child to my in-laws to look after and go somewhere else ?????)
    She didn't call back (I didn't mind as it was my Saturday night after all.)
    Until tonight...
    I got a text at 10pm saying that they didn't need childcare tomorrow as they had sorted something out.

    Ummmmm..... ????????????????
