Hi Tea, he had an absolute blast. Loved every minute and didn't want to come home - in fact cried before they left and then again for half the evening because he wanted to go back! Highlights were archery and getting lost whilst pot-holing apparently! 
(They had to pull them up through a manhole-cover! )
Huge stresses this week. Had a meeting on Monday to discuss our application for his statement, only for the poor ASD inclusion teacher to have to break the news to me that the school hasn't kept any records for ds1's support and intervention - so we can't apply until we can make them come up with the necessary evidence. 
Basically, he needs additional support because of his ASD and the school being crap, but because the school is crap they can't provide us with the evidence we need to prove he needs additional support!
Fortunately I have kept meticulous records since he went into the Juniors and also have all his classwork and homework books since year 1 and we can at least use a fair amount of that as evidence.
We still can't apply yet though - no point. The inclusion team and new SENCo are going to try and fast-track it so that the application goes in no later than the first week of school in September. I am so angry I can't even express it.
Health has seriously taken a backward slide this week, what with all the stress and I've now got horrible all-over-the-body-ache, really bad headaches and chronic brain fog which is stopping me from being able to sort the whole bloody mess out.
Might help if dd would actually sleep for more than a two hour stretch without waking me at the moment as well. 
Sorry for rant, folks. Will be off now and return when I'm in a better frame of mind.
