    Happy Bank Holiday everyone. Is anyone working today or have we all got the day off?

    I reminded all my parents last week that I’d be closed today. One of them said I must love all these bank holidays (this one coming so soon after Easter), until I pointed out that I don’t charge for any time I’m closed, so that’s another day with no fees! But yes, I told her I did enjoy the days off

    What’s everyone been up to this weekend? DH has been away so I’ve taken the opportunity to have a good sort out. He’ll be back this evening and I’ve got plenty of bags ready for him to take to the tip or the charity shop tomorrow. He’ll be thrilled It’s actually quite nice having the house to myself for a change and having a quiet day off.

    good morning!

    After a busy 2 days with DD dancing here, there and everywhere, I was planning on spending today catching up on all my paper admin and getting ahead ( HAHAHA ) with stuff for the next few months whilst she spent the day sleeping ....

    DH was meant to be away ALL weekend ... but the weather turned, so he arrived home yesterday afternoon !!! I'm still going to do all my admin, but now he's here and is distracting me! I MUST BE STRONG ( AND STOP LOOKING ON THE INTERNET! .. I was looking up some pictures to print out, but got sidetracked whilst waiting for them to print !!! )

    Have fun everyone xx

    No not working today . Cleaning , gardening etc.

    I don’t charge for bank holidays,
    one of the parents said to me Thursday “ another bank holiday, you get another day off!” Nearly said I’ll have your child if you like but I’ll charge double!. They are self employed so wouldn’t be working either.

    Enjoy the rest of the holiday.

    I don't work Bank holidays and I don't charge but I have a friend who charges and doesn't work them either, her theory is parents get paid and they don't work them.

    I spent the money cleaning and getting ready for the week then this afternoon I popped over to the local garden centre with my parents, they have a nice little cafe there so we enjoyed coffee and cake. Since when my dad was ill a couple of years ago he hasn't been able to drive so they rely on us to take them out.

    Anyone got any exciting plans this week? Hope you got some of your admin done loocyloo.

    I went to the bookshop yesterday and managed to get a copy of The Queen's Hat, I asked them about any jubilee picture books coming out and they weren't aware of any.


    Just to add incase anyone doesn't know but Baker ross have some free Jubilee colouring pictures to print off, I have printed some out for my older ones.
