To spare I thought for Northern Irish Mumsnetters

[Tryingtogetonwithit]

To English , Welsh and some Scottish mums please keep it in your thoughts that us in NI with school age children have our schools breaking up this week if they haven't already and shall not return until end of Aug/early September. That is 9+ weeks and it's pissing down. To be honest by week 7 they are basically feral 😂
I am of course joking (I think) but in a few weeks time when your posting about the 6 weeks please think of us poor sods already 3 weeks in .

Scotland here... Finish Friday til end of Aug....

7 weeks today DD will be back at school!

My eldest is at college and finished at the beginning of June. She’s been my housekeeper for the last few weeks when she’s not been out on the farm. My youngest finished yesterday and will spend most of the summer farming with his dad. I finish on Friday and not back until 24/8. I won’t be going into school any days over the holidays either. I love our long holidays but only because I’m off with them.
