Hello again readers
Absolutely amazing - already August is on the horizon and before long those grandchildren of yours will be back at school, you will be wondering where the time has gone and they will be wishing they were on holiday again!!
It's not too late to plan what to do for the rest of the time they may spend with you this summer - and spend is the word! Grandparents are often on a limited budget..... but do their grandchildren realise this when wanting to go here there and everywhere? With spending money in mind, Granny Look has been trying to find some special deals and summer savers so you can still spoil them and save some money. |
