I have one in today and two in on Friday, in between I have 3 days off...

This is the first time since I've been a CM that I've been asked to work bank hols so it feels a little strange. The upside is of course great rate of pay which I can use to treat my own children on our 3 days off.

Anybody else working?

I am working them all but really don't mind in this weather as I can get out and about with the children :) Thinking I may book one off in August though!

Enjoy your bank holidays all x

Nope I am not working bank holidays. I would if asked and I would have to charge £8 per hour. Lukily all my parents also have them off so not needed.

I am enjoying tis lovely weekend, although I did work Saturday 9.30-2.30. Three days work this week for me and another lovely long weekend off. Cannot wait.

Whoops, good job I text mum as Lo doesnt have chicken pox apparently and spots all gone. Glad I text to ask how she was or I would have not been expecting to work next week and child would have turned up...lol
