Old Speckled Hen Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 School holidays, well this ridiculously long summer one anyway Cue vandalism, extra security in the pound shops and bored children underfoot everywhere I loved the school hols with my daughter. We used to have such great times. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 It's hard when you have to work though and can't be with them 100% of the time. I wish they'd break it down into more manageable sized chunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 It would be better in some ways if it was only about a month, but it can be hard to fit in a holiday when everyone wants the same time off, so I suppose it has to be 6 weeks really. I love the time with my children and the feeling of freedom when they break up is lovely. Having said that I am lucky to be able to work from home a lot of the time and now the children are older I am happy to leave them for the odd day when I do have to be in the office.

Plum Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 My OH who keeps nagging me about things when I have been tolerant and held my tongue for nearly 34 years. I might take him out if he stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 There seem to be an awful lot of family members in this room, it sounds like a nightmare place, which is the idea. Perhaps they'll make wonderful new friendships? Someone's parent & someone elses offspring or OH. Manual tin openers and sardine tins. There!

I wanted to try them a few times just to make sure I really did hate them....and I do! I will third this one - they are awful things I am always tempted to try them again,but the 2 times I have had them raw was just the worst experience. Don't mind them grilled though,with some Parmesan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
