  • Will you have to pay a fine for taking the boys out of school?
    We have to down here in the south. £60 per week, per parent (So that would be £240 for two children for one week)

    So happy for you that it's all booked and sorted now.

  • The fines are supposed to happen up here too S-G, but I’m yet to see them enforced. I think as long as your child usually has good attendance otherwise it’s generally ok. To be fair though, even if we do have to pay a fine, it would still be a very cheap way to go to Florida!

    Yes - definitely. Hopefully they won't enforce it. I think even if people do budget the costs of taking kids out of school, it's still heaps cheaper than going in the holidays..............:T

    Holiday is booked and confirmed :j.

    Yay! :D :j
    £40 Oakley’s flea/worming stuff.

    Crikey - that's close to the annual cost for Musketeer - including protection against sand-flies! Did your vet persuade you to buy one of those "pet health plans" or something?
    And a fortune (haven’t added it up yet) on DS2’s Birthday on Friday!

    Happy Birthday! to DS2 for Friday, hope he, his mates and you all have a great day! :)

    No Robin, that’s just the cost of 3 months supply :(. I can’t find it any cheaper online either Xx

  • Woke up to thick snow this morning. Alas the schools were both still open and our normal 20 minute rush hour journey to DS1’s school took an hour :(. They’ve both had a good day playing in it though!

    Today has been a NSD :j. Much needed. I’ve just stayed in apart from school runs, and DH went to the gym with a friend. He’s been irritating me again so I was glad of the break :o

    DS2’s birthday tomorrow! 8 whole years old :p Xx

    Boo to the snow, it just keeps raining here, we had a downpour of biblical proportions at lunchtime.
