    Hi,
    My son breaks up at school today for his summer holidays.

    In a couple of weeks we are going to Cornwall for a week.

    We plan for a couple of day trips to a theme park.
    Also Wales and West trains have a train that runs direct to Weymouth, the fares are £6 or 7 for adults and the children are charged £1.00!

    If the weather is bad the library and local museum do some interesting activities for an afternoon.

    It's the fear of being harpooned while I'm there that worries me though!!

    :rotfl: I know the feeling! :rotfl: I am out the changing room and into the deep end in around half a second, and the same in reverse when I get out! :D

    Well, we've had a quiet day at home today. DD has been out and about playing with friends apart from a bit of time on the computer this morning.

    I was considering going to the 'Kids am' viewing to watch 'Race to Witch Mountain' tomorrow morning but I think my ex wants to see it as well, so may suggest we take dd at the weekend.

    So, I think we will go and see my mum and dad instead and maybe have a mooch round town.
