I've got his bags ready, and think everything he could possibly need is in there

but I have never sent him away for this long (16 days) before and know I'm likely to have forgotten something!

he's going to the coast of France

Hi Ellie

Calpol or something like that in case he gets poorly

or better still a whole first aid kit with the works in it

I made sure he'd got his EHIC card, was the first thing I did, I just know he's gonna have an accident

wow, I'm jealous of him...what an idyllic time he will have on the coast of france with adoring grandparents!

I wouldn't agonise. I'm sure you've remembered the important things. They do have shops in France, apparently maybe you could include say £20 for your parents to buy anything that ds may unexpectedly need?

i'm jealous of him too!
he's actually going with daddy and his parents, and SIL with her family
quite glad we've split up, not sure I could do 2 weeks of that

Sun hat, sun cream, after sun cream, just in case they miss a bit of bare skin!
