Calling all potential Babysitters......

As per the Kay rules for new babies- no christmas shopping will be done in the Kay Family household this year. We (well - really me!) have decided instead to run a free babysitting training service for anyone interested in learning the noble art.

We will offer unlimited access to our child between the hours of 5-10pm - whilst we are out having fun! Coffee, tea and hot chocolate will be provided though applicants to our scheme will be expected to provide their own food.

At the end of your training session we will provide you with a verbal evaluation of your progress - and improvements that we think you could make.

This free offer will be for the christmas period only. We expect to start charging for our training service in the new year!

Hopefully this scheme will save my bank accounts from the pillaging that they are undergoing now that Tara has started her maternity leave! Silly me for thinking that maternity leave was for resting and relaxing (and possibly some house tidying!), it is apparently for shopping, and lunches with the ladies!!!

ps - latest midwife appointment shows that all is well with mother and baby. Bump now measures 37inches, and head is engaged (I think that means that everything is downhill from here!). 2 and a half weeks to go and counting! Going to the labour ward tour today, and got to finish tiling the bathroom!

My husband's new name is apparently Scrooge. I WILL be buying Christmas presents for family members.

Also, he seems to think I am (and my baby will be) a giant... my bump actually measures 37 cm not inches. Boys always think things are bigger than they really are!

ha ha ha ha ha! I love it. If I can save up enough to fly to the UK I will take guys up on the thrilling offer of babysitting training camp. It will remind me of why I am not ready for motherhood just yet! hahaha. oxoxox
