Mine all break up at 2.30 on Friday. I'm going to do my first Mindee Christmas party as it will be my lasy day of work as well, as they don't need me through the holidays. :D

Pre-school broke up on Friday though they have their christmas party today between 11 and 1. Then school finishes this Friday and I finish work at lunchtime on 21st December til 4 January :clapping: I never work between Christmas and New Year as DH's office closes and I like this to be family time. I was working til 4.30pm next Tuesday but both sets of parents of the kids I have only want half day which suits me fine!

All the schools break up on Friday all a little earlier than normal.

I am working until 3pm on Christmas Eve and then I am off until 4th Jan.

I can't wait its the first real break I have had this year all the rest have been to work on the house.

We have all the Toddler Group Christmas Parties this week. Next Monday we are taking the Mindees to the Natural History Museum, Tuesday prob out to lunch with a few other minding friends, Wed Mindees birthday Party and Thursday our Xmas Party so it should be a fun week. I also have a new one for 3 settling in sessions before Christmas, only 5mths old.

Kids break up from school wed 22nd. I prefer them to finish as close to xmas as possible. If they finish on the 17th of 18th its a whole week til xmas and i find they get bored as i am still working so can't take them out for treats etc.

I am working til 5.30 xmas eve:( I have never worked on xmas eve before but 2 of my parents need me so i dont mind too much.

Especially as i'n off til the 10th Jan:clapping: My kids go back to school on the 6th so i'll have 2 whole days to myself - a VERY rare occurance!

Primary breaks up on Fri 17th, when most of mine will finish, secondary finishes on Wed 15th, so may have one 'dropping in' when he's got fed up of his own company and wants feeding, lol!
Have got a couple of older ones on the Mon and Tues, and 2 lo's on various days but so far nobody needs me on Christmas Eve, so fingers crossed I'll get it off.
Then I will be back as normal on Tues 4th but school doesn't start until the Thursday, so will have a house full of pre schoolers for 2 days!

I have my 20 month mindee till tomorrow if she turns up (ill) and then have an 8 year old next tuesday, thursday and friday. So i'll be working up till 5.30pm on christmas eve which I dont mind really. It all money and she is so easy to look after. Perhaps I can get her to wrap somee of my presents for me. ;)

Then I am off till 4th January. I am looking forward to the break and get to spend some time with my family.

mine has changed already! Just had a message from dds school to say they are now closed for the holidays due to the snow and a mindee has swapped a day this week from mon to wed so I am now actually working mon-wed with more children than I thought being stuck at home as I won't be able to go out with the double buggy in the snow as it is at the moment!

Kids off school now...and I must admit I am quietly thankful that all my schoolies are term time only!!!

I finish for christmas on Thurs...back on 4th and then off the week after as DD having an operation. Hardly seems worth going back for 3 days but oh well!!!
