childcare search for ad-hoc hours January to March 2017


Recommended Posts

Hello EDF,


I'm a freelance performer and the company I'm working for 9 January - 10 March 2017 only issue a weekly schedule every Friday for the week that is going to follow. I have a 2.5 year old son called Joe (potty trained!) and a just 5 year old called Theo. Theo is in reception at Ivydale primary school. Joe goes to nursery on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I'm searching for someone with a relatively free timetable who could let me have first call on their time.


Here are more certainties I can guarantee:

- an exact list of care times required every Friday by 4pm for the week that follows

- a minimum of 15 hours a week, potentially rising to a maximum of 32 hours a week

- that a day would never start before 9:30am and would always finish by 6pm

- on Mondays and Wednesdays if you were needed it would only ever be from 3:30pm (picking Theo up from school)


My husband and I realise an au-pair might be simplest solution but we'd rather not have anyone living with us


Hoping EDF will wave its magic wand and fuse some super connections for us,


thanks for reading,

Miranda

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
