So what do you all have planned? I only have 1 mindee from Wednesday -all the others are just term time - so that means I have TWO yes two whole days off.

One of them is reserved for Uni work - that is a must.
I MUST start my accounts..... I must..... I must

Friday we are meeting up at a c/m friends house as we have arranged for a ST Johns ambulance to visit (hopefully it will help my middle son with his phobia).
Wednesday/Thursday I am leaving loose to see what the weather is like.

Today I am going shopping and a visit to Hobbycraft and dare I say it perhaps, maybe just a little Xmas shopping:eek:

Up to yet nothing planned. Only have a mindee for two days and she is 10 so unless my ad hoc holiday mindee needs any days will be a nice hloiday again :thumbsup:

I have a busy Mon-Weds.
I applied for a variation to allow for a sibling who is almost 4. - It was granted on Friday! Nothing like the last minute!!

So, I have 4 under 5's m-w and my 8 yr old. Then Thurs and Fri, just my 2 and a 2 and half yr old.

Tomorrow I'm opening up my toddler group. I dont normally in the holidays, but thought we might all need it if its wet. I'm going to do it as messy play and not toys, so we can cater for the older ones.

Might have a day walking in the woods.

Baking day - maybe homemade pizzas.

If it stays dry, we might go to the seaside at the end of the week when only 1 mindee.

We need lots of dry weather for the week! :thumbsup:

i am not planning anything major this week. my mindee who is nearly 4 is term time only so havnt got him, so ive only got the 3 babies all around 12mnths (differetn days of course) and a just 2 yr old for 1 day. so we are going to have an easy week. long walks in the mornings and hopefully long sleeps in the afternoon!
it will be nice for me not to have to think of things for the 3 year old too do and i will actually get a break while the babies are sleeping.

got my screamer coming thurs and fri tho:panic:

I have my ex-mindee, so now a visitor, on Monday and we are going to go out and about, Tuesday I have twin 2yr old mindees (grandsons) till early afternoon, Wednesday may have to cover with one twin while the other goes to hospital for grommets, then Thursday (when my Network Co-ordinator is coming) and Friday I have a 6yr old girl, will probably depend on weather as to what we will do.

my kids at the grandparents so on my three days off will be studying (as I am now) and going to uni as they dont have half term this week! BOO!

This is my plan too!!:laughing:

Tomorrow I have 6, Tuesday 5, Wednesday 4, Thursday and Friday not sure yet - hoping to get Thursday off!!

Got to pop to local town tomorrow to pick up a printer I have on reserve at Argos - should be fun with 6 in tow!!!

Weather permitting we will go to the park afterwards or soft play if not so nice.

Not sure about the rest of the week but definitely some Hallowen crafts in there.
