I didn't "dump them" on her!! They're spending quality time with their grandparents

Megan (the 17 month old) goes to hers every Tuesday and as the other two are on holiday they come as a package!! (The older 2 had a choice and they wanted to go as well - I think they get a bit spoilt there!).

In answer to your question, yes my mum probably would have yours tomorrow if you lived close enough - she loves having kids around her!

Does she fancy two more??

**rickysmiths** · 26-05-2009, 05:01 PM

Sorry you all, but I've had the day off. lol

Out with a friend this morning, we went to the garden centre and the craft shop and I spent far too much money!!!

Then lunch out in the cafe at the garden centre very relaxing.

Only got two mindees on Wed, Thurs and Fri so an easy week for me.

The weather has been lovely so I'm going to spend some time gardening before the scout meeting this evening.

**sarah707** · 26-05-2009, 05:04 PM

I've had a nice day in the garden with mine today, no rain thank goodness!

My mindees only get a week but dp has 2 weeks from his school then finishes a week later for the long holidays.

It's a bit silly really

Our schools only had a long weekend but they finish up 4 summer on the
26th June

**Twinkles** · 26-05-2009, 07:00 PM

I'm 'zausted too , I had five today and it rained this morning

We made up for it this afternoon though and went out for a walk and had a picnic tea.

Your schools go back in August though don't they Joy ? I'd hate that - having to go back to real life in August

Off for a bubble bath and a glass of Champagne..........oh well ok not really Champagne, a glass of diet lemonade , but a girl can dream
