2) I need to borrow 1 more mattress for the holiday. We have a full house again! Any time will do, but preferably before the end of school as I would like to set it up before I go away (for 8 days) on 12th December.
3) Please could you give me some idea of the last dates for laundry, and also the holiday schedule for the housekeepers? I know that they need a break too, but I would appreciate any help we can have since I will have 11 people in the house for an extended period.
