And other stuff! Here goes-
DD2 (10)was going on 5 day trip with school. On a ferry. DH and I take opportunity to have 4 nights away on our own abroad. Much needed after stressful past year with DD1- but that's another story.

Due to flight times our best option was to leave on Sunday aft and return last night. DD1s trip sets off early Monday morning. No problem DS (24) agrees to stay over on Sunday night and drop DD2 off in the morning.

Needless to say, I leave her packed and ready and give DS checklist (shows disinterest in this) and £40 to take DD2 out for some tea so he doesn't need to cook anything. All he has to do is make a sandwich for her packed lunch as everything else is already in lunchbox in fridge.

DD2 too excited about trip to be bothered we are leaving her. All good, but after landing abroad get call from DD2 at 11.15 at night saying DS is asleep on sofa with tv on too loud and she can't get to sleep. Also that DS gave her cheesy chips from takeaway for tea ( with £40 to spend!!) am cross but calm her down and she says she's fine after s

takingiteasy · 15/06/2012 15:14

Short hold, do you get them in the same shop as long stands?

McKayz · 15/06/2012 15:14

Is there more to this? I feel confused Confused

MissMogwi · 15/06/2012 15:21

I reckon OP means 'short holiday'. But then I've got too much time on my hands.

phantomnamechanger · 15/06/2012 15:23

so the grown up DS took the DD to go off on trip and did not lock up properly, or else they have been broken into?

Pascha · 15/06/2012 15:27

Yes I think the grown up DS didn't lock up properly either. I would be mighty pissed off if that were the case.

Where is DD1 in this anyway?
