What have we all got planned for half term then?

[redhed]

Current weather forecast down here (though we all know how much that can change :rolleyes: ) is to be fine if a bit chilly Mon/Tues/Weds, cloud over Thurs, rain Fri.

I was planning to get a last shot out of some of the annual membership cards - Legoland is open all week, and we have membership to Marwell zoo too. :nod:

What's everyone else planning?

[Lilacgirl]

I'm so excited about this week.
We have my best friends coming who emigrated to Canada before Zach was born. Also we're off to Italy for a few days (first time abroad since Zach was born), and also down to were I grew up to meet foreamentioned friends again and some others too.
Can't wait.

[DillyDally]

Errm, well DH is off for 4 of the days, so we'll probably visit family, we're definitely going to see Quantum of Solace on Friday, might go and see Ghost Town on another day (great having teenagers, I get to see films I like, too!). We'll probably go out for lunch on one day, too. J will no doubt be off with his friends, playing football in he park, or tennis, some of the time. I have some studying to do, but hopefully I can fit it round other stuff.

[Amanda36]

Not got anything definatley planned for this week, will just see how it goes, what the weathers like, but me and dp are going out friday night for his birthday to see think floyd a pink floyd tribute band, after we have taken ds trick or treating if we've got time lol if not grandad will have to take him when they come to babysit.

[ChelseaHarvey]

Tues my nan is coming down for the day

Weds Dancing Queen & the girls are coming over at 11am

Thursday not too busy so may stay at home and do some halloween stuff with the kids

Friday I have the afternoon off so we may take the bikes up to Greenham Common for a ride.

[Princess Fiona]

Absolutely nothing :oops:

Well our friends Nan and Grandad are coming to visit on Thursday so we're taking them out for a pub lunch and me and DH are going to see Steve Coogan at the NIA on Weds night so Lucy is stopping over at MIL's Wednesday but other than that i've not even thought about it tbh :oops:

[Bettie May]

Nothing! My older ones are all off without me. The car goes in for an MOT Wednesday so expect to be without it for the rest of the week! :meh:

DD is doing a "Hairspray" and a "Wicked" workshop at a drama group, DS is off to a big karate fighting competition and the other three little ones are stuck with me for walks on the beach I guess!

[Jelly]

A few play dates and I plan to search for other activities that are on. DS1 went to a volcano workshop today at the museum. There are some other things being run.We went to St Fagans yesterday afternoon.

Out and about as often, and as cheaply as possible is my goal :thumb:

[noo noo]

Nowt! They go back to school/nursery tomorrow after TWO WEEKS off! :brainache:

[Destiny]

Nothing - my neighbour has asked if they can take ds2 away with them to the caravan from mon-fri:brainache: He's 10 in 2 weeks and apart from the odd sleepover hasn't been away without us before.:cry:

Ds1 is nearly 15 and he'll be off out with his mates, so I have the week off work on my own-some. To make things worse, I got paid on Friday and some fecker has hacked into my account and cleaned me out, overdraft included:hissyfit:

[DillyDally]

Oh no, Destiny, that's terrible - will you be able to get it back? :higgies:

[BigB]

Hope you manage to get it sorted quickly Destiny.

We've got a friend down with her 2 LOs tomorrow for the day. Tuesday another friend over with her baby for lunch.

Then Wednesday we go away in the caravan for a couple of nights. When we get back on Friday we're going to a friend's for a kiddies halloween party then DH is taking DS to fireworks afterwards.

Next weekend will then hopefully be peace and quiet so the kids can recharge their batteries for back to school!

Have a good week everyone.

[Elle Driver]

Lilacgirl have a super duper time, sounds very exciting! :cheer:

We have Dita's little one's party tomorrow, Max turns 3 :lurve:

My Dad is having the girls overnight Wednesday and all day Thursday :cheer2: and then Friday it's Ruby's 5th birthday and also Halloween so a little party at our house for her. Her cousins are staying over and we're carving pumpkins, dressing up and trick or treating (aka begging :wink: :teehee:) Then her 'big' party is on the Saturday - a trampoline one for her and her school friends. She is soo excited! :ellie:

(however she is upset bless her heart, that there is no school for a week!)

:angry: for you, hope you can get it sorted!? What have the bank said?

[clowe74]

I seem to be welcoming other peoples children into my house all week:yeahright:

I "think" we will be taking the cat to the vets tomorrow, just waiting to hear from the PDSA to see if they can help us due to our current financial situation:oops:

Wednesday a houseful of kids
Thursday Alex is off out for the day with his club
and that is all we have planned:oops:

[*kate*]

Another one probably welcoming other kids into the house, I have stupidly :doh: said DD1 could have a Halloween sleepover.

If I get through this half term without decapitating one of my older kids, it'll be a success.

[Destiny]

:angry: for you, hope you can get it sorted!? What have the bank said?

Well I'm hoping I'll get it back. I rang them late Friday night after I realised and was a tad hysterical down the phone. It is in the hands of the fraud dept so I imagine they will investigate and if found to be fraudulent they will refund me.

There was 7 payments all made on Friday to an internet betting site.
