In NI the school holidays are normally 8-9 weeks! I can't even take any time off this year.

Ours are 6 1/2 finishing 17th July and going back thurs 3rd sept. As an mse tip when I looked up hols a few weeks back for the 7th week the prices dropped, worth looking into if your kids aren't due back at school till 7th september - quickly tho, before the holiday companies spot it.:D

What site is this? Does it list all holidays for all schools? I'm terrible I am... I usually find out when the holidays start on the Thursday before they break up... But then if the school sent out a list of all holidays at the beginning of term then it would help!

I guess im in the minority of loving school holidays!
no alarm clocks, no bleary eyed school run

im really looking forward to this summer too, DD will be 9 and DS will be about 18 months, so we can spend some quality time on the beach (was a bit difficult with the baby last year) and have picnics in the park etc

DS has never even seen a sand castle! i have plans of him being a proper beach baby just like his big sister by the time boring old september rolls round again!
