meh, just lost a huge post. If your DD goes to CC then the staff there usually have a number of carers on the books who do babysitting, or you could try nanny places to get someone to come stay with her while you & DH go to hospy? Good idea to get arranged early though, so she's comfortable with them. I'm subscribing to this thread too as I just had a huge fight with my g/f who I had lined up to look after Pip...
