    I am working odd saturdays now but mum works every other and I let her know when I am available. I have worked it out so I only do them when hubby is working and also when I dont have anything else on. I was prepared to work Good Friday as mum has to but she managed to get it off, but wouldnt have done Monday as well. Incidentally I am doing my final first aid on Saturday so glad got Friday to do my housework
