My Baby Has Gone!

A very emotional day today....we've just dropped our son off at Uni for the first time and driven home to a very quiet house! It's been a horrible week, I haven't been able to sleep, concentrate....anything! He couldn't have made it easier for us, he's so excited about the whole thing and very positive - but it's still been an incredibly hard "end of an era" to deal with. Lots of alcohol for us both tonight I think - at least we've still got another one at home (who says she's knocking down the wall between their bedrooms tonight so that she can have a bigger room)! Anyone else going through the same thing?

Hi all, Okay this situation in a nutshell is as follows: : Our nursery changed ownership in July this year, new owners, but i am still a manager there. we have had a few teething problems, namely myself having to ajust to one of the owners being in work daily, but she is lovely and things have gone okay. However, as many of you probably know in childcare money is always an issue.

I have been totally honest with the owner and have told her that i have seen jobs for more money. sh…

Am surely not the only one to be baffled by all the goings on? After lots of discussion with lots of different people it seems 50/50 ish but most seem to believe all the hype!! How many think they did it? I refuse to believe it but it is so hard not to be influenced by newspapers isnt it?As other people have demonstated to me but with not knowing them I find it hard to fight their corner i feel so sorry for them after all they have been through to now face this!!

1st Day With The Kids

I had my 1st day with my new class today after 2 days of inset. There were 2 missing, one is still in respite care till the weekend and the other is new and is starting on Monday. I've had such a lovely day. It's so nice to be back in the early years with the little ones. They are such a cute bunch although cheeky personalities and they all have their own little ways. Really looking forward to the rest of the year. How did everyone else's day go?
