nightmare! I have been trying to sell my nursery school and yesterday all of my staff found out and have given a weeks notice - I cannot believe it! It means no money as the sale will fall through and they have destroyed my business as well as I have no emergency staff! Parents are saying they want to leave so I am absolutely knackered! Can't stop crying. My parents trying to get me to try and rectify things but absolutely exhausted. Didn;t sleep at all last night and feel like my eyes are on stalks now! Just feel so unhappy and desperate! It will get better but this timing is dreadful. I'm having a baby and the countdown is well and truly on - doc told me to take it easy and relax - how the hell can I do that now -

 

[Emmylou]

Oh No!! Thats really dreadful babe I can't offer you any advice, but wanted to wish you all the best

thanks -just wish the hormones were not so full on at the mo and I could be more professional! Must go to bed in a minute - mum always talked about a new day etc etc so I guess I will aim for that. New perspective and new approach.

Positive point is that I am fine and baby is kicking well - I was just hoping to be a stay at home mum for a few years and have no money worries - it won't happen now - sob.

 

[Emmylou]

We run our own business too...would love to be a stay at home mum too.....OH wants to get someone in so I can just go back part time...gotta hope we can afford to do it though!

Try to get as good a sleep as you can....I know what its like when you can;t get your mind off work though, I usually wake up thinking of things I need to get done.

Hope it all turns out for the best, glad to hear the pg and baby is all going well.......x

Im so sorry to hear this Sarah, not what you need right now

These things usually have a habit of working themselves out though, try and be strong and concentrate on bubba through it all to give you hope

I really hope things turn out ok for you xxx

Thanks you for your support ladies - I hand delivered letters to all the parents today so will wait for all the calls. One surprise though was a parent wanting to buy the nursery! Weird! It was on the condition that the staff stay though and that is my problem. I think I am going to grovel grovel grovel. I'm sooooo stressed

 

[jocymum]

Not my trimester- quite !
but just wanted to say I can so relate, my hubby and I have just sold our opticians business which was seriously going under for a pittance and the stress involved is huge
I hope you can persuade your staff to stay and get a good sale

Can you ask your staff why they have all resigned? If you have an offer already to buy, maybe that will allay any fears they have about being made redundant by a new manager as the offer you have specifies that they stay? Good luck
