Thanks...we were happy for a long time with this carer - its only in the last month or so things have gone bad. Her heart is no longer in it, I think. But when children are concerned, it has to be the best ALL the time, not just when she feels like it. Next year I will be working less and we have 2 days of preschool booked at the church run centre my son attended 13 years ago, and many of the same staff are still there!! [Big Grin] I'm looking forward to a good year.
