She'll be leaving him to cry come September whether she wants to or not. 
You can't eat spag bol with your hands. Well, you can but *shudder* Although, to be fair, I semi baby-led weaning with Ben, sort of by accident. I started on the purees but got fed up with all the faff quickly enough so would just give him things he could pick up and eat himself for breakfast/lunch/snacks and a smaller portion of whatever we had for dinner. I did feed it to him though, until he was capable of holding a knife and fork...well the fork anyway, since he still seems incapable of understanding the basic function of a dinner knife... or, indeed, keeping his food on his plate and not wearing it.
Good luck tomorrow. Hopefully you'll find someone soon. Or not and fate will decide.
She came back for another chat today and brought with her the Nanny that looks after her child three days a week (she only wants me for two, which suits me fine 
), and it turned out we knew each other vaguely and she knew several of the children I've looked after in the past. She used to work at a certain nursery and had a great deal to say about why she doesn't work there anymore - very interesting
