    Smile suprise parents on my doorstep!

    I've just come downstairs from bathing my 15 month old and there's a knock at the door. Parents with their 7 month old little boy!
    Arrrrrhhhh They wanted prices and some info about my service.
    I'm covered in Baby Power and my hair's a mess! My lo's running around with no clothes on!!!!

    They seemed really happy and i've directed them to my website and told them to phone me if they need any more info!
    Completly caught me off guard! Having a sign up on the house can be a good and a bad thing!

    Hope i get the job though cos their lo was a sweetie!!!

    This happened to me! Luckily it was just a front door step chat, but my lo was running around covered in something or other! It's all for a good cause!

    This happened to me the day after boxing day, covered in paint with my pjs still on, and then proceeded to ask me to have their child on new yrs day, that was all before I had even had time to speak...... had to ask them to come back later in the day......quite funny when i think about it now, was in right mess at the time...... Hope you get the job.....
