HELLO NOVEMBER!!
Hands up who's homes are totally upside down after the October half term?
I'll start, MINE!! Admin has taken a back seat, there's baskets of clean laundry, furniture in disarray, and middle beans birthday presents neatly organised in a way that makes sense only to him right in the most inconvenient of places 🤷♀️ my sanity has well and truly left the building, though its questionable how sane I ever really was in the first place... I feel like I need a week off to get over the kids being home - anyone else feel like that or is it just me?! 🤣
This half term many of our MerMaids have been working reduced hours to make memories with their families, we've been blessed with mostly dry weather, glorious sunsets and no early morning alarms (save for my children who have an aversion to sleep of course)
I've been able to take a few days off to explore Camel Creek, pumpkin pick at the Cornish Maize Maze and wander through Plym Bridge with my little family and aside from my daughter slicing her hand open from a fall in the woods, being patched up by my sister and a trip to the UTC at derriford its been really really lovely
I am 100% ready for the kids to go back to school and hit the ground running with our MerMaids as we slip slide towards Christmas... how is it November already? Where has the year gone?!
We are winterising more holiday lets this week and have another shiny new Henry on the way, all domestic cleans are continuing on their usual rotation and we have more meet and greets planned with some lovely new clients
1 month to go until its socially acceptable to put the Christmas decorations up, so if anyone would like extra time on their visits to prep please remember to let us know in advance to ensure we can accommodate
Keep smiling
Team MerMaid
