something to do with the film "the help"?

i think a bring and share buffet is good. then you do cake and free drinks.

No wonder couples do not get married. A former colleague got married last year and it was held at a venue which specialised in weddings. in the evening there was a disco with bacon butties. he had to pay ?7.50 per bacon butty. Its all a rip off.

the police- they can track the car reg number too

how about a massage/ manicure/ pedicure? see if she notices?? ;)

The screening, training and interview process take a few months-crb etc- so if you applied now it would be perfect for Septemeber :)

:) " LIke"

walking I think. Mine is a 20 minute walk or 8 mins on bike.There are so many schools!

Its really better for part time workers/ retired- or students/ undergraduates. Maybe a SAHM or DaD.

Whoops I had forgotten about that- and Imran Khan :(

Last night was particularly bad then. Maybe it was a quiet day in Syria.

Saffron, let me know if you find anything then. I might just switch on at 10.30 for the weather :)

The 10pm news last night was full of child killers and abusers for about 20 minutes. It looks like we are in for a long season of people coming forward reporting historical incidents. I really don't think I can watch the news any longer. It is so depressing. Is it just me?

Caravan might be cheap??

I want to recommend the Beanstalk charity ( used to be called the voluntary reading scheme). You have to commit to 2x 1.5 hour sessions a week term time, where you will listen to and help 3 children read ( the same 3 each time) at the same primary/junior school. You need to go for 2 days training, but it is extremely rewarding. http://www.beanstalkcharity.org.uk/reading-helpers/how-to-apply They have funding to train and support you and are short of volunteers. They place you in a school less than 30 mins away from where you live.

novotel in troyes is a favourite of ours. very child friendly.

and walls to put the rails on............

where is your partner in all this? can you make the big bed a star chart reward -ie go and look at beds and duvets and 10 nights in a row = new bed etc?

let us know then......

you could always feed another baby while you are there!!

LOL I think you will find that one of the main attractions for many teachers/ancillary staff at private schools is that a main part of their package is substantially reduced school fees. Eg half fees at Dulwich college for a full time lab technician- ?7k per child- 3 boys= ?21k mm or at least it was 5 years ago when my friend did it.

i think you can just express a bit out each night- and throw it away:(

;)

i would also think closely about location and the ease of "play dates" collection/ taxiing. How easy would it be to take darling children to someones party in a palace in regents park etc? I think local is an important criterea .
