Hi everyone

Today and tomorrow I do not have any mindees. Then on Monday I start my first week holiday. We are thinking of going on day trips with the kids. Not starting again until Mon 16th.

Its been so busy this year so far. I really am grateful being able to relax a bit. I took three of my kids to the park and just sat down and chatted to another mum I know.

What are you doing now (if off) or getting ready to do? Paperwork!!!!!!!!! or something very enjoyable

May everything go well for your special day RealityKickArse.

I know for sure that when we get time off we appreciate it, I am sure you will all say yes to that!

Had a morning at toddlers (with my DD skulking at home), followed by an afternoon of naps and creation.

Tomorrow .... local parks I think and maybe a walk up to Church in the afternoon (Ofsted approved activity).

Hurray!!!

Last day of childminding today. Jetting off for two weeks in sunny spain in a couple of days!

Havn't had a holiday abroad for 4 years so very excited.

We will need a rest as when we get back my DH is joining me and we go from 3 children to 8!!!

I will be downing that sangria and lounging on the sunbeds ( if my own 2DS will let me).

Bring it on.....

Have a good rest cupcake......

Its good to rest, as you feel refreshed afterwards.

I wonder if anyone is taking time off but just doing paper work. Sometimes you have to ensure that you stay balance between having family time and having paperwork time. How do you balance your time?

Reality... hope your wedding went well.

Still off.. Must let you know that my mum is with me, she is ironing for me, doing a great job.. My husband has been cooking, smells lovely.

What do you think I have been doing? Getting my policy and procedures ready for my oldest son to complete. I feel so honoured to get some help.

Anyone getting help so you can do your paperwork?

Excuse me if you are still working.
