Alex the holiday sounds so exciting, such wonderful memories you will make as a family.:D

I take it your wife is going on the holiday too Alex? It does sound amazing, but yeah, expect a fine for missing that much school!

An amazing experience for you all.
Ouch to the cost.

Sounds brilliant, Alex - and looking forward to it is part of the fun

:rotfl: Son will be having 3 weeks off school for it which I'm sure they won't be pleased about but he'll be spending his birthday on the Serengeti and he can catch up.

I was thinking the same RS.

It sounds like an AMAZING trip Alex, but I hope your holiday pot has a bit more stretch room in it as well: my dentist told me lately that taking children out of school during term time where she lives is charged at £250 per child! :eek:

We are really looking forward to it. To be fair, mother has paid for our flights but has said now things are different with the business we need to pay for accommodation. Mrs. K. thought it amusing she booked business class for us but mother will be in first ... :rotfl: I'll be honest it's going to come from profits I would normally reinvest. No need for another saving pot that way.

Son can't stop telling everyone he's going on a safari but doesn't know he'll be there for his birthday. Regarding school, they are on questionable grounds fining, IIRC.

Easter next weekend. Seeing the in laws which means snooker rematch with father-in-law. Been practising at my parents' this evening and not looking too good. :rotfl:

Can't sleep tonight, lots on my mind re. moving the property business forward. A few years ago I wouldn't have took it seriously, been very happy with the income it brings in and spent it all. Apart from the holiday, I plan to reinvest everything. The income scares me these days. I don't want to go back to my old ways and don't want my son to grow up thinking money grows on trees either. Mrs. K. doesn't really like it.

Not really sure I should be on here anymore.

Morning Alex, I'm slightly confused as to the above comment?

Not anymore, the Supreme Court ruled against the parent whose appeal became a test case.

The fine will be a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of your holiday though.

Have a nice Easter with the MrsK side of the family, good luck in the rematch!

Of course you should be on here (as long as you still want to be). For instance, learning to spend appropriately is definitely an mfw thing. And if you want to be here, you should be. I'm mortgage free, I'm retired, even, and I still need to be on here, there's a lot of financial issues I need to work through, especially in the next few years.

Of course you need to be here
You are not getting rid of us that easily :rotfl:
