Hi happy mamma, what will your son be up to over the summer holidays? Are there other things going on locally. If he is 15, I am sure you will be wanting him to be out and about, rather than hanging around for 6 weeks?

Hi Anna

Im trying to book some time off and he has older sisters and 3 nephews so he wont be bored.

We have cancelled our normal week away and off doing several camping trips instead.

I live on the edge of a council estate (i was lucky to buy my house) my kids know the local kids but tend to have friends furthe away. They run the general school holiday schemes but they get taken up by the locals any meetings they arrange tent to be when im in work I have voiced this several times but to be honest i would rather arrange something else for him there are a few trouble makers that get involved - my son although 15 makes me a cup of tea for when i get home. Im greated with a hug and always asks how my day was (who needs a husband??) He 5'10 size 11 feet and a real gental giant - im very proud of him. I get called a snob off a few people where i live which is funny im proberbly more common than them at at times

Ive worked hard so of the locals dont and wont work - oh im getting carried aware again x

Have you ever looked at a PGL camp for him? They can sometimes be expensive, but other times not too bad.
