hi soul just a thought but our local council offers a service for parents of disabled children in that thay give you an allownace of per hour so that you can employ a person chosen by yourself to look after your child either in your own home or elsewhere, your resonsible for their tax n national insurance tho,
May be worth checking with your council to see if they can help.
just found it on the website......
Social services - direct payments
Service Description
A direct payment is a cash payment allowing clients to buy their own support instead of Social Services providing it. The money can be used to employ a personal assistant or to use an agency to provide staff for you. A client can 'mix and match' and have some support provided by Social Services and take some as a direct payment. Recent 'Self-directed care' schemes have involved managing adult social care in general on the basis of the individual choosing their care package based on a fixed budget.
sorry if you already know about this, n good luck withn the job hunt x

Not a lady here... but doesn't the pill stop you having periods? Isn't that why you have to take a break from it each month?
maybe she not on the pill cubes?
Have took said tablets a few times without any side effects, reading the leaflet on any medication can make you think twice.
refering back to cubes maybe the pill might be a good choice for the future when i hit 35 i had to start taking the mini pill due to my age n being a smoker, i put off changing for ages as i felt i was being picked on cuz of my age n the fact that i smoked, put it off for another 2 yrs, kept using the excuse but i'm not overweight, turns out was the best thing i did, not had a period since so no need to worry about it at all now
Do what you think is right n enjoy ya hols ya lucky thing

i saw this on gmtv yesterday morning & tbh i think it's absolutely ridiculous, to think that if you look after a friends child you have to be a registered childminder, as previously quoted this has gone on for yrs.
However on a different note i have just completed a ccld (childcare learning & development) course, as part of that course i had to obtain a placement in a school, in my case working with children with special needs, the most vunerable of society & i was appalled that no checks were done. No students or voluntary workers had a crb check or any other sort of police check etc.
My 'work' there involved taking these children to the toilet, undressing them for p.e & swimming albeit supervised, but still not right by any stretch of the imagination, I was frequently left alone with these children in the classroom ok may have only been for minutes but thats all it takes.
Seemed to me that if you was there & not getting paid for it then it didn't matter who you were..literally anyone could just ring up say they wanted to do voluntary work, have a 5 minute 'interveiw' n hey presto you were in
So I am all for these checks to be done, within the correct setting ...tis just a shame common sense cannot prevail

my daughter has just started 6th form college n theres a lad in her class who she describes as being an annoying little f*****, forever putting his hand up during class saying 'but sir, but sir can i just ask this question' etc etc etc, apparantly the teacher is getting rather peed off by him as are the rest of the students.
When i asked my daughter why they dont just tell him to shut up, the reply was we cant......he's black, n shes scared of being called racist.
if the racism card wasnt used as much, or rather allowed to be used by our legal system then we wouldnt feel like this, so i wouldnt really blame the teachers as they are put in ridiculous situations but rather our goverment & the wonderful pc brigade

i dont belive singles can be swingers if we take into account the media belief of swingers its the chucking ya car keys in a bowl job n going off with someones wife therefore a cpl... not that i'm into the media belief but jus thought i'd chuck that in for good measure
having finding myself single after 6 yrs as swinging as a cpl i no longer think of myself as a swinger to me now it would be jus finding a shag for the night, jus like a one night stand or a 10 to 2'er but without the vodka beforehand.
Swinging to me is for cpls, single peeps are jus after no strings attatched sex, that aint swinging thas summat different altogether!

brb my artichokes need harvesting on farmville
like you mrs b i too plan my planting around whether i'm gonna be in lol.
I went away for a weeks holday n had to make sure both farmtown n farmville were all harvested so nothing died....gave my daughter strict instructions to look after my animals n trees lol tried yoville but couldnt get my head round that one.
Perhaps i should get back to being a swinger instead of a farmer, any offers

what about floristry?
our local college does things like cake decorating (I did that and loved it), balloon decorations (the type of displays for weddings and parties)
it also does night courses in things like reiki, hot stone therapy, hopi ear candles, reflexology and aromatherapy massage
floristry is rather academic actually as all latin names n common names, soil type, flowerin times, climate etc etc have to be learned its actually quite specialised n not perhaps like flower arranging as i think you might have meant.
On the other hand floristry is a very interesting subject to study i should know have spent 10 yrs at it
