New starter a no show

**berkschick** · 22-02-2008, 10:14 AM

I was meant to have C today 9.30am - 11.30am for settling in period.

She hasnt turned up and I cant get hold of Mum!

She is the one I was sharing with another minder. The other minder is on hols so I dont know if she has heard from them or not.

I am annoyed because I had a phone call for twins on a friday only yesterday that I had to turn away because of C starting

Why do people do that? They have no consideration for us at all sometimes.

Maybe there is a genuinely good reason but if not it's not a good sign for the future with this family - in my opinion anyway.

Have you got the phone number for the twins incase?

**Wiggly** · 22-02-2008, 10:23 AM

Oh dear - that is such bad manners not to contact you. Could be a genuine reason though.

Fingers crossed it works out.

Hi some parents are soooooo rude
Maybe there is a genuine reason...they could still pick up the phone or even text you.
If you have the twins phone number i would contact her good luck K

Ive just been back through my phone and managed to get the twins phone number.

Now I am kind of hoping that C doesnt turn up

because she was only temp 5 hours a day till July and the twins are a full permanent day.

I am wondering if I have been caught out here because we ran out of time and didnt have time to sign the contract so I wrote down my reg number so she could sort out her tax credit.

I know, I know, what a silly thing to do!

How annoying Debbie

I know you gave her your number but it happens and sometimes when we are rushing we dont think
We just hope they are all honest too

Hope you hear something soon

I hope you get a call and it is a genuine mistake... let us know xx

**charleyfarley** · 22-02-2008, 11:12 AM

Hope there is a genuine reason for not turning up.

I'd see if the twins still need someone , fingers crossed they do

Now I feel mean

Mum been in hospital this week and forgot all about this morning.

She starts work on Monday so no time now for settling in session. She says C still coming next Friday so I cant have the twins. Bummer!

**angeldelight** · 22-02-2008, 11:20 AM

Oh poor mom is she ok ?

Shame about the twins but at least this mom has not let you down and shes still coming next week

xx

**berkschick** · 22-02-2008, 11:23 AM

She is ok now I think.

Feel really sorry for her actually. She is a lone parent trying to get back to work so I really want to help her.

**Rubybubbles** · 22-02-2008, 11:38 AM

Debbie, parents have a habbit of making you feel

at them then make you feel gulity don;t they!! At least you know she hasn't just taken your number

**Banana** · 22-02-2008, 11:42 AM

Glad that she hasnt messed you around and it seems to be a genuine mistake she has made!

Bit of a pain in the bum about the twins - never mind, at least fridays wont be so mad!!

**deeb66** · 22-02-2008, 04:19 PM

At least she hasn't messed you around or used you for your URN to claim benefits.

Hope it all works out

**Spangles** · 22-02-2008, 04:23 PM

Oh well, it's good she's a genuine client then.

I'm sure you'll get more calls soon that will fit around her, don't give the twins another thought, it was obviously not meant to be at this time.

**Mollymop** · 22-02-2008, 04:26 PM

Glad you got it sorted out Debbie. Hope the mum's ok and the settling in session goes ok next time X

**LittleMissSparkles** · 22-02-2008, 06:04 PM

glad you have had contact with the mum x

**miffy** · 22-02-2008, 07:23 PM

Pleased this parent hasn't let you down Debbie

Shame about the twins - no chance of a variation?

Miffy xx

**Monkey1** · 22-02-2008, 07:33 PM

glad its worked itself out Debbie!

**berkschick** · 22-02-2008, 07:49 PM

The twins Mum has rung me again this afternoon.

The poor woman cant find anyone.

I rung OFSTED and they said they would consider a variation as I have one space but cant take them both on and they wouldnt want them split up.

Mum is going to come and visit me next week if she doesnt have any luck over the weekend.
