    Phew!! You earn your cash don't you!

    Couldn't check in through the day as computer is in the spare room.

    No really I 'think' I had I good day (a bit shell shocked at the moment) The morning was fine, dropped off DD and Mindee S (both aged 4) at playschool so was left with just Mindee J (aged 2) - I thought this bit would be a doddle but a 2 year old with no other playmate needs some serious entertaining

    The afternoon I had all three which was noisey, but in a good way (laughing and singing not crying and shouting). S and my DD bickered a fair bit - as 4 year olds do - they are both SO ready for school in september

    The mum collected at 3.45pm but stayed chatting for half an hour - however so IS paying me until 5.30 so ................

    All in all not a bad day I think it will go smoother once I have planned themes/activities in place. Which is difficult as these are my only mindees atm and only Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Need some more warm bodies I think

    Im really pleased it went well for you!

    Im the same with the planning thing, I am doing it all but only have M Tuesdays and Thursdays. She is only 17 months and not remotely interested in anything other than tipping the toy box upside down! And I have J on a Thursday who is 3 so does enjoy the activites but I am feeling it is a lot of work and planning for just one child!

    Hopefully more people will sign up with us both soon!

    Good luck for tomorrow!

    Love

    Debbie
