Q. I work at toys r us and my boss says that because december and january are our "peak" time, i have to quit if i want to go on vacation during those times. My vacation is a christmas cruise...
A. This subject is quite complicated and much depends on whether you have a written statement of the terms and conditions of employment, that the correct notice of your request for a holiday is given, that the employer gives the right notice of refusal and whether any agreements regarding holidays exist.

If you are still unsure of how this affects you personally, I would recommend making an appointment with your local Citizens Advice Bureau asap.

What would be a good first real job for a teenager?
Q. I turned 16 a few months ago, and got my license about the same time. I am thinking hard about getting a job after school so i can hopefully get me a fairly nice Silverado/Sierra before i go to college (am a Junior as of now). Anyone have any ideas of something I could look into as an alright after school job?
I know we don't live in the same town, but all towns have a sort of general job selection.

A. Get a seasonal job, companies are hiring now and hiring plent of teens too!
Two industries you can count on to hire extra workers during the holiday season are retailers and restaurants. Party suppliers and holiday decoration centrals, like Party City and Target, and clothing and toy stores, like Old Navy and Toys �R� Us, all hire seasonal workers. You�ll often enjoy store discounts at places like these�and you can�t help but get into the holiday spirit when surrounded by wrapping paper and twinkling lights.
With employers hosting holiday parties and visiting friends out for nights on the town, restaurants see booming business during the holiday season. You�re likely to find plenty of hours available for work and enjoy larger tips, as people feel more generous around that time of year.
You�ll also find seasonal jobs at hotels and winter attractions (like ski resorts and ice skating rinks). And don�t forget the mall�Santa could probably use a few extra helpers in his winter wonderland this year.
Companies hiring now nationwide :
Amc Theaters
Jcpenneys
Toys R us
Sears
Macys
Burger King
Good year
Dunkin Donuts
Ski Resorts
Mcdonalds
Pizza hut
Dairy queen
Grocery Stores
All these are great first jobs for a teen, I like hostessing though.
Also try linkedin.com to look for local job postings, good luck on your job search!

Ideas for things to make with a nearly 2 year old?
Q. Hi my daughter is nearly two. We paint, draw and colour. I have cut out pictures for us to stick to paper. We have done potato paint stamp too.
Can anyone suggest anything else we can make together please?
Thanks!

A. Here is my suggestions for a simple toddler craft. I have experience! I have 6 children! All of my kids could spend hours doing "crafts" with me. Buy washable markers (go cheap, because they often leave the tops off) Let them color popsicle sticks. You can glue them into a square and put a picture in them, cut out of a magazine, or a photograph. Tie a string on two sides to hang it like a picture. A favorite of my kids 6 down to 1 1/2 yrs. old let them color with a marker on a sheet of paper towel. Paper towels have different, fun prints nowadays. You can even get holiday themes. You probably have a roll on hand. The markers give a soft, watercolor look on the paper towels. Markers color easily, with just a touch for the littlest ones, and the older ones can make designs my marking along the raised texture of the towels. They will get a kick making it look like a quilt. Try it!

Toddler Crafting Macaroni!
Macaroni necklaces, bracelets, anklets. Put straight macaroni in a jar, drop in a few drops of food coloring and shake gently until you get the desired color. You may need to add more food coloring and keep shaking. Make several different colors. Spread on newspaper or papertowels to dry. Put each color into an old butter tub or other plastic container with a lid. Again, provide child with shoestring or yarn with end taped and let her/him make necklaces. This is also a good way to teach sorting and order after a while. In the beginning let him/her string whatever appeals, later you might suggest a pattern.

Please check out theideabox.com. This is the most awesome site I have found for crafts. Not only do they give ages and tools required on each kids craft, but also offer a "craft of the day" and the complete archives are available. I am a homeschooling Mom and use this site a great deal for ideas for my 3 crafters!

Sock Puppets
When my daughter was young she loved to do the same thing as I did (oh, how times have changed now that she is a teenager!). To occupy her while I sewed I gave her a couple of old wool socks, a selection of large buttons (too large to swallow), a plastic needle (purchased in the toy dept) threaded with a length of colorful yarn. As she became more able to work with small articles we added felt pieces too. She turned out many, many puppets and had the benefit of playing with them and giving them to friends as gifts. When she started school the teacher was amazed at her hand co-ordination. And today, she does her own mending! Big bonus!

Shrinky Dinks
Take the Styrofoam meat trays cut (big) shapes (smiley faces, Christmas trees, etc.) , color with markers (poke hole if you want to hang anywhere) and put into micro-wave for a few seconds. Voila! Shrinky dinks! Simple and inexpensive crafts for a young child!

Is Toys R Us open on Christmas Day?
Q. I need to do last minute shopping. I was wondering if Toys R Us was open on Christmas day. I was looking at business hours but it said nothing about holidays. Please help.
If the store itself isn't open, is shipping still available? Would it still come in the business days that it requires or longer because of Christmas?

A. I noticed that just the Toys R Us Express shops are open. Not the big stores. Shipping is still available and would come the time that specified.
