Hi all
I haven't located the end of the last thread so I'm a bit behind the news - been pre-occupied with a household of sick people of late - We're all much better now tho
Hiya MN - wow what an early walker you have! After much pre-amble Orla is finally crawling - or doing her 'bunny hobble' as I call it - 2 hands, one knee and one foot on the ground
I'm about to start back at uni next week - a practical subject shadowing final year students in the clinic - can't wait! Will have to dust a few cobwebs off the old brain cells tho! Been investigating childcare options for next semester - bu88er all available in my area unless you want to pay thru the nose The council places are great and I've got Orla on the waiting lists so maybe by the time she's in kinder she'll get a spot! Otherwise we may have to team up with another family and hire a nanny! I'm totally confused by the CC rebate thing - can someone clear this up for me? Does every family get a 50% rebate quarterly and then may be eligable for further assistance based on income? Or is the rebate itself means tested? Would we still be eligable for a rebate if we hire private CC in our homes? (ie am I better off sending Orla to an expensive centre and at least get some of it back later?).
Sorry for the the very 'me' post - will have to catch up with everyone's news - hope you are all well
