Leave them with your Dad! Might teach them a bit of gratitude.

Off to Oz for a month in February. Will probably aim to get away in the summer too.

Intend to work as little as I can get away with this year.

Go for it old son, life isn't a rehearsal

I'm nearly 50, have been married for over 20 years, have three kids, and my wife and I often have weekends away. It all depends on how you arrange your life.

Tip: have the kids while you're young. My youngest kid will be 21 this year.

I can't book my summer holiday yet - need to know when the kids are taking theirs, so we can ensure someone is home to look after the cat. We're going to get a holiday home somewhere in Portugal for a week or two.

Maldives? We had a look at lots of different places, Singapore also came up, but that's a mission away. Pretty sure Cancun is getting warm at that time of year isn't it?

If I'm being forced to 'adult' then I shall adult in a way that makes me feel better.
