OMGoodness!!!This December is setting the record for most crap being dealt out to me!

[bright sparks]

The notice period is when I am off so the mother has forfeited most of it as I am off but she said she wouldn't be bringing her child back afterward and her last day will be Thursday. Thats her choice to not to use the deposit. Its just a shock to be honest.

Thank goodness my husband just got an amazing new job and will be able to make up my loss untill I fill the spots.

Oh that is at least good to know ~ when I first read your post I thought she was trying to pull without any notice period or payment

So you have at least some little buffer of income over the holidays to get some ads up and secure a new client for the New Year!

Congrats as well on hubbies new job as well cause that should help from the sounds of it!

I admit knowing I have a spouse as a back up plan is truly helpful and the fact that we planned our household budget by downsizing mortgage and smaller home and so forth to allow for only 'one income' to be needed to keep a roof over our head and the fact our home as a second income is basically for 'extras' in life like retirement savings, college savings, household improvements, entertainment, hobbies, vacations and so forth things that can be 'cut back' should either of our incomes take a hit ~ my hat goes off to those who do this as a single income cause the stress of knowing how unreliable the income of this business can be and your daycare enrollment can turn on a dime with no control or wrong doing on your part would do me in!
