    I don't refund unused hours because of snow because they will still be getting paid for it and you are available for work.

    poor mum, its not nice, perhaps she'll not go to work tomorrow to make up for it! I would still charge like already said, just one of those things, perhaps have a nice hot cuppa waiting for her and a biscuit

    If you start offering refunds they might expect it in the future?

    Still no snow here :-(

    I would still charge and would not refund, like someone said, you do it once and you leave yourself wide open for the future x

    I would still charge full fee, if not your loosing out just because mum is collecting early. She may do this all the time if you start.
