    Default Feeling like Pinocchio :)

    Not that I am olfactory organ challanged or have issues with the truth but more like "Now I'm a real boy".

    Because, after upset, tears, frustration, whinging, dummy and toy flinging, I FINALLY HAVE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I feel like a real childminder LOL, or I will next week anyway.

    Woohoo! I'm so excited I have 4 (yes 4 - a sibling group) starting on Wednesday. I haven't met them yet as they are away with their Dad. Have met Mum and she is coming round tomorrow to sign contracts and I meet the gang on Tuesday evening.

    *wanders off singing "I'm so excited"*

    Thanks Ladies

    And well done to Singlewiththree and Scallywag on your recent successes too

    I'm feeling rather nervous now It's all very well and good proclaiming "I'm a childminder" but now I've actually gotta do the job LOL hope I don't mess it up *grin*

    At least none of them are Early years so I don't have to worry about the EYFS paperwork, on top of getting used to 4 kids and getting into a routine

    Mum is coming round later to complete the contracts (as she has 4, I gave her 4 blank contracts to fill in all the kid's details on) and add my Ofsted number etc and discuss the children in a little more detail. She is really nice and knows exactly what she wants in terms of terms and conditions (which happily match mine anyway) so, so far I have got away with nodding and saying things like "yes that's fine" lol.

    Oooohhh its exciting
