When you think how much you might spend on a meal out, or a (rare!) night out with friends, it was maybe double that once we've paid for booze, food, petrol etc on top of the accommodation. The best bit was we were responsible for supplying and cooking one meal each - so the rest of the time we got fed delicious food without having to think about when/what to cook!

No don't wait another 4 years, I should have done it before having my youngest but just didn't get around to it, and then wanted to wait till he seemed happy with it. I know loads of people who leave their kids overnight with Grandparents all the time, from really young ages, but it's such a subjective thing...and it depends very much on the Grandparents! Ignore my schedule and start planning a little break next year...it'll do you the world of good. xxRainbow Vintage Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074537730057546641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645488985982877384.post-50243930017724015762012-11-12T10:07:10.810-08:002012-11-12T10:07:10.810-08:00Oh lovely, have a great time!
