    If it is an "outward bound" type of outdoor residential then they will have a lot of the kit needed for the various activities, like waterproof jackets and trousers usually in Yella or Awgrunge colours...
    Once you have the kit list send a PM and I'll let the lads know what's needed.

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    He's a size 3 US

    I'm scared :rotfl:

    Can't believe he's growing up :o:(

    Beanie that sounds amazing! My smalls always tell me they are never leaving home because bills are rubbish. DD1 over dinner today was discussing paying 'rent' and utilities and couldn't get over how expensive they are :rotfl:

    Maybe this is why my 32 year old DD is still living at home (bills). Don't say you haven't been warned :rotfl:

    Fab news on the CT gone :j

    You are doing really well :)

    Right now that sounds good SA but maybe when she is 32 I won't be thinking it :rotfl:

    DS has asked for the deposit for his birthday. Nice thinking but I wasn't planning on spending that much on birthdays :o I told him to get in bed and stop worrying about it! He should have been asleep ages ago. Anyway he took some cake and has gone back to bed. Think I might jump in the shower. I have ironing and the floors to do :o but might leave it until morning! Lazy

    Well he's obviously decided he wants to go even if it is in September :rotfl: Are there limited places - there weren't for ours and how much time have you got to pay the deposit?

    It's Friday night, leave the ironing and the floors, get on the sofa and put Heartlands on. You've got me addicted to it as well. :p x

    Theres always something - just when you come up for breath by clearing some debts a residential pops it’s head up. It would be amazing if he could go though....
