It is at the end of half term, from the friday pm to sunday lunchtime. I am working the sat am before, and otherwise all the family are off and dh has the week off work. He says that he wants us to 'do something as a family'. My argument is that as much as it might be lovely to go away, we spent loads of money camping at June half term, and 3 weeks camping in France over the summer, plus my car needs to be repaired soon. We don't have the money for more holidays. We are lucky that he is able to take a week off then, but in the absence of firm plans we will probably do a few day trips, visit grandparents etc, all of which can be arranged around the brownie holiday. It will also be nice to have a bit of 1to1 time with our other two children. Dd was excited that she might be going, but she is fairly compliant (at the moment) and probably won't make a big fuss if he says no.
