*g* We shall see what happens. It being an academic bookshop it isn't usually too busy at this time of year - most of the students have bought what they need for this semester and don't have their reading lists for January yet.
I can see your Mum's point about you spending time with her - not a problem I have because even when I am at home, as I am at the moment, both my parents are at work all the time. If we're lucky we all eat together in the evenings. Are there times of day when she has something she likes to do? When we go on holiday everyone in my family (if we're not out specifically doing something in the evening) likes to spend the evening reading. In that time I've always taken to doing a bit of writing. Or first thing in the morning when everyone is faffing about having showers and breakfast before we leave to go out for the day. But I guess I'm still at the point where I'm used to having my parents dictate some of my time (although when I was at univesity I used to hate it when first came home for the holidays, always made me feel like a child again, although I know they were trying really hard not to make me feel like that) and when you are used to organising your own life and dividing your time as you want to I can imagine it's difficult to have an extra demand on your time, even if it is a valid one.
