Half-term and they fall into two camps, the get up and go set and the get shot of them quick set. Equally valid. I know a mum who shops at midnight so that she can spend all day doing fantastic stuff with her little darlings. There's another who won't part with her pyjamas. Her brood of six will be glued to the X Box. Now there's another lot who will be consulting the forum.
This is where the busybodies tell everyone else what to do. Someone is sure to suggest papier-mache. Or scrabble. There'll be a hike to Scafell Pike planned and a bike around Wastwater. The usual. Wears you out just scrolling it up. Time was when the only busybody you invited into your life was the mum-in-law and she could be sent on her way with a cup of tea and a sharp word. Such a whole world of advice out there. Most of it useless. Might as well stand in Tescos and yell "Anybody know a good brand of loo roll?"
Frankly, I'll make up my own mind, so it's a swift walk in the rain with the dog and bowling. Now why don't you do that?
