**emmadines** · 21-10-2008, 09:30 AM

carrying on from lissy's post "What do you do to set up in the morning?" i just wondered what time do you all get up and what time your 1st mindee's arrive??

mines 7am so i get up at 6.30 (i dont do mornings!

)

**haribo** · 21-10-2008, 09:35 AM

supposed to be"just after 730" but it is always about 5 to 8 so i have to be ready in case they do arrive earlier

i just make sure everything is ready then drink lots of coffee till they arrive

i get up at 7 (well my alarm goes off at 7 but i normally get up at 7.20) then mindee arrives at about 8 although this morning he arrived at 8.35 i normally leave for school at 8.30!!

Mine differs depending on what day it is but it can be anything between 7:30 and 8:15. Usually set alarm to get up 6:30 but just lately knock snooze button on till more like 7

**gemhei** · 21-10-2008, 09:58 AM

Im up at 7am and my first child comes between 8.10 and 8.20 depending on when mum turns up lol. I try encourage them to bring them between 8.10 and 8.30 as before then im half alseep wondering round getting my own kids ready and 8.35 we go to school so it can be too late.

Well I have had two enquiries so far from shift workers wanting me to start between 6.30am and 6.45am, this actually suits me as I am up and dressed by then any way.

**Gherkin** · 21-10-2008, 10:50 AM

i am up at 6 to start work at 7 although 9 times out of 10 the mindees turn up at 6:50.

Should say that first alarm goes at 6 then 6:15 then 6:30.....

**devoncm** · 21-10-2008, 10:56 AM

I have just after school at moment but in holidays mindee will be here at 7am so will be early for me, get up at 7 at mo so will have to change that to about 6.30

**shopshelleyd** · 21-10-2008, 10:57 AM

My first mindees come at 7am and always arrive on time! I get up at 6.50am and can get washed and dressed and kettle ready for opening door with a big smile even though still feel half asleep. I hate getting up!

**Bushpig** · 21-10-2008, 11:11 AM

I get up with hubby at 5:45, he leaves at 6:15. I bath, set up, have a hot cuppa *sip* etc. and first mindees comes btwn 7:30 and 7:45, depending on the day

**LisaH** · 21-10-2008, 12:40 PM

My 1st arrives at 7am so i get up at 6.45 (can't bare to get up any earlier)!!

Have half hour of quiet play then I get my own 3 up for school, thats when the chaos begins. Other mindees arrive between 8 and 8.20 pm.

**Chatterbox Childcare** · 21-10-2008, 12:42 PM

Start at 7.15am and then I am up at 7am. Most things get done before I go to bed as I am not a morning person

**shelly04** · 21-10-2008, 12:48 PM

I get up at 6am, get ready and then do housework, washes etc. Set table for breakfast. 1st mindee arrives at 8am, by then everything done. If I get up any later I am running about mad.

I thought i had already replied cause this is exactly what i do

I actually had words a few times because she would arrive at 6.45 and sit on my bench outside my door and make such a noise,she now knows not to come until 7am she can walk around the block for all i care at that time in the morning, my caring attiude does not kick in until 7am

I am up at 6.15am but don't start till 7.30. I am up so early just so that I can wake up before my youngest gets up & have a cuppa in peace.
