    Talking just had to pester ofsted again!

    Hi everyone,

    Last week my son's crb came back (including his police caution ) but Ofsted, on Friday, had not received their copy so they said that all being well they should have it by today & be able to make a decision this week. Well, that was friday, I had the weekend when I couldn't pester them and today I couldn't resist just ringing again to check on the progress (thank goodness it's a different person each time I rang!!!) AND.............

    It's in the post!!!!!

    A letter & my reg certificate!

    Woo-Hoo

    Hmmmm, shall I write out my resignation for work tonight or wait till the certificate is safely here???

    Just want to thank everyone for all the help & reassurance you have given me
    And to those still waiting hang in there.
    I know I have been very lucky to get it thru this quickly. (sent forms off Nov 30 2007)

    Just need to find some children......

    Karen

    Thanks Cheryl & Sue,

    I need to give 4 weeks notice.

    As you can probably tell I am a touch impatient!!

    I have one mindee lined up, my gorgeous 18 month old grandaughter which is one reason I am so impatient! She will be 23 hours a week so I could do with another one or two to help recover my wage. I am a single parent so the sole breadwinner in our house. I suppose working family tax credits will go up if I'm earning less tho?

    Going to have to put on my serious & sensible thinking head on

    anyway I'm still
