My two broke up on Friday until 2 sept. We may go for a day out here & there, but not much as were saving for a decent hol next year. When the sun comes out, I will take them to pets corner in the town park Elaine x

My six year old son broke up yesterday and is bored already (deep sigh!). We've arranged lots of get togethers with his mates so lets hope the sun keeps shining. Actually, with the teacher training days bunged on the holidays are closer to 7 weeks :( Sheila

My daughter breaks up early today and I am looking forward to the next few weeks. Unfortunately she has a part time summer job so our time will be limited but we plan to make the most of it. I love the school holidays and not just now when she is 15, but years ago when the garden and house was full of friends in the paddling pool etc. Jacky:-)

Not just Mums. I'm a Nana who looks after Grand children while my daughter's work. Unlike when my own two were little I enjoy it though! Maybe it's having more money, time and patience as I get older. Oh and living at the seaside now so there's so much more to do. Jane

Thanks! My son breaks up from school, and my daughter breaks up from playgroup today. I'm taking a few minutes break at the moment from preparing food for the teddy bear's picnic that is the traditional end to the playgroup year. I work full time (though I've taken a day's leave today) so the next few weeks is going to cost me an absolute fortune in extra childcare. I have a couple of weeks off in August but can't take the whole of the holidays off unfortunately. Angela
