Are all the WAHP's having a nice relaxing weekend or busy working?
We are a bit skint so anything we do needs to cost as little as possible. I am determined that by Monday DS will be able to ride his bike confidently. The little monkey can ride it but likes to make a fuss and say he can't. :laugh:
I'm doing my first big (well big for me) exhibition so I want to get prepared for that. DH is going to bring the laminator home form work so I can do some price lists and things. Other than that and a PO trip tomorrow I don't plan to do much work.
What is everyone else up to?

Tomorrow am I'm having my brothers kids for a while, it is the last few days of them being here so no doubt we will be busy with them. Not sure what we are all doing on Sunday but we said we would take the kids out for the day (me, with my three, my sister with her two and my brother with his two).
I think tomorrow afternoon my DS is going to play golf (bless, I have trouble getting him away from the golf course at the moment - not only am I a golf widow, I've now lost my son to the dreaded green fields!)
Monday we are going out with a crowd of friends to monkey kingdom (or something like that) - there are five families going so that should be fun!
HOWEVER, ekm have just implemented a huge upgrade and at some point I need to reset the stock figures for all my products, that is going to be one huge pita but it is an upgrade that is long overdue.

I'll be working apart from Monday. I think I fell asleep about 8pm last tnight so I am up and working right now, stupid I know, but I can have some sleep later too if needs be. I have ads to do for the brochure too so will be catching up on those.

If I get any orders then I will be working :cheesy:
However, today we're all off up to Doncaster for a family "do" as my dad's 65 this year and I reach a milestone birthday next month (sssshhhhhh! - don't want to talk about it).
No plans as such for the rest of the weekend, and the kids are of school all next week so will probably be out and about a lot.

I am working and I also need to do a massive clearup in the office space and sort out storage as I've got a huge delivery coming next week...

This morning I have some orders to sort out and hopefully get into the post. I have got lots of items that need to go to the tip - having a major clear up and I have got a dining tabe and chairs that are in the boys clubhouse at the moment. Tomorrow I am at a bead fair and on Monday we were going to go out but DS2 has informed us that he is at Cadets all afternoon for a social gathering, so that has put stop to those plans.
Have an enjoyable relaxing weekend everyone.

A bit of work as I want to have a stock clearance sale - so need to set up a sale section on the site and sort out which stock I'm reducing.
Other than that we'll be out and about - we've got National Trust passes so we'll probably find some gardens/house to visit.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Avoiding work and sitting in the sun, plus checking out new kitchens!
However, I have an 'email advice' client in the US who needs help as she's got onto a national TV show over there, so need to keep checking the mail!

Panicking that I'm due a baby in less than a month and I've still sorted *nothing* including a car that will transport us all at the same time. No WAHM stuff apart from finally finishing my Mat Allowance form and posting it off so I get my £££
We've just been in to town and now I'm doing a bit of work. School holidays next week so I'll be trying to entertain the kids and fitting the website stuff around them. Might try and do a few days out depending on the weather next week. Also need to do some gardening and plant some veg although I'm not supposed to be bending or digging so will have to just point and give out orders instead!

Work for me, between working till 2am yesterday and working today in between the littlest sons naps and the bigger son making me watch harry potter I'm hoping to get all my stock pictures resized and get them on the site by tonight (have a whole massive order of hair accessories to photograph too:woot:) .
I want freedom tomorrow. Think I've developed RSI the hours I've spent at the PC this week"violin"1

Antonia, was it sunny were you are? It was really cool here today as it was windy all day.
Knotjustjigs, I'm suprised you aren't at a fair since it is the bank holiday. Enjoy your weekend off.
We've been out all day. I left the house with the two children and got the bus to town. We then walked round with my Mum and Nan which was hard work. My Nan is really frail and confused so it took ages, not good with a three and four year old in tow. I then walked home with my Mum and the children which is about two miles, DD walked it for the first time. We then had a quick rest and went back out with both children on their bikes. I'm shattered now, all the fresh air has worn me out. All the printing/laminating that I want to do will have to wait till tomorrow.

My lovely parents have kept the children at their house till 5pm so I am chilling out, watching Come Dine with me and surfing the net. I might be good and search for Jiffy bags online, I should at least do some work.
