Dare I ask?........what's HSM?

I'm looking after my ds' friend and sister today. They are quite a handful and, thankfully, it's only for a few hours! The mother is really nice and always offering to help me out but her children are a pita!

On the plus side..........only one more day of work then it's holiday time!! We're going to our caravan in Wales and I can't wait. I am so looking forward to having some time off!! I'll have one day back at work before school starts back and I can't wait for that either!!! I often wonder whether I'm suited to childcare!!

How exciting planning next years holiday I fancy doing that but shouldn't as have no idea whether or not I'll be pregnant and able to fly etc. so will just have to wait. Do let us know once you've booked

Well, it's 9.40am and still no mindees. Sisters should have been here at 8.30 and my old mindee at 9am. I think the sisters are late as staying for overnight care and of course no au pair so mums having to sort everything!! As for other one, maybe her dad is just behind today Oh, old mindee just pulled up on drive!!

We will be settling in Scotland somewhere within a radius of Alloa eventually, DH is from there, and house prices are so much better we can buy a 4 bed house there for what we can get a 1 bed flat here.

dd's school have told us, they've stopped producing holiday forms. There's no point, because holidays aren't allowed. I think if we did Singapore though, we'd take 3 weeks and visit my cousin in Oz too. DH hasn't been very far, so he's keen to go to Greece or the islands. I do worry that the temp seems to be over 40 degrees in August these days. I'm sure we'll go round in circles with this one and end up in Glen Coe in the Highlands. We're like a magnet to that place!
