    Default 1 week to go!!

    Hey all, well one week today and fingers crossed it should all be over.. the dreaded first full inspection!
    I'm not too panicky (yet) but am being kept awake at night by very random worries..
    things like - if I change one of the LO's nappies (one is 15mths other is 17mths) then is it ok to put it straight in the outside bin if the LO's are stairgated in the lounge where they play? Are they ok to be left in the room if the inspector? I use a anti bac hand wash and normally keep this in the nappy basket is this ok?

    How about when taking one LO up for a npa is it ok to leave other LO in lounge, its a quick trip upstairs and snuggle down, 2mins at the very most...

    Do I need to sign Mrs O in my visitors book?
    Do they check your finances? (I'm guessing not but just would like to know so I can have all paperwork out ready)
    Do they nosey in cupboards and fridges etc?

    Aaaargghhh - I know I might sound a bit panicky but these are these are the silly things I'm fretting about for some reason..

    please, any reassurance would be good.. really need a good nights sleep

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    If you have a visitor's book then yes I would sign Mrs O in (after checking her ID, of course!).

    No, the inspector will not check anything financial.

    I have never had an inspector ask to look in either cupboards or the fridge.

    On the day, don't change your usual routines or you'll probably trip yourself up (or worse, the kids will notice and comment ). The general rule is children should be within your sight and/or hearing at all times but whatever you do you should be able to justify it to Mrs O if she asks.

    Try to relax - hope you get some sleep tonight!

    Miffy xx
    Keep smiling!

    thanks Miffy, you've helped already
    am trying to keep calm and just think all I need to do is plod through a normal day but its still alittle worrying
    Just worry that my 'normal' day isn't up to scratch lol... as my husband says though if I wasn't worrying over something I wouldn't be me

    Thanks
    xx
