The joys of being a working mum

Posted 10:01 AM on Thu-19-Jan-2012

As many of you know I do home-based childcare. Today my own girls are in care and I am supposed to have 4 others. One is on holiday (but I didn't find out until he didn't show) and the others are getting picked up after lunch (a family party). So I find myself unexpectedly with the afternoon off and no kids. I rejoiced for a minute and then the list of jobs hit me. So (if I can get appointments at such short notice) will be having a smear test, taking my daughter to get her ears checked and doing chores around the house. It would be lovely to spent the time shopping, reading or even sleeping like I would have pre-kids but there is always something to be done.

I had over 70 items sell and it was more than I hoped for. Made a tidy profit and if it was every week it would be like a proper job!! But its Christmas and a si Read More...
