Going away for a week

[jrc]

During the half-term I'm going on holiday to visit my cousin who emigrated about a year ago. Just thought I'd let you know so no-one wondered where I went.

[Legend]

I will miss all these fit pics of Charlotte Church if ya go lol. :P

[BigSister]

[Lance]

Is it half-term over there already?

[Legend]

End of october is half-term over here so he might just be telling us in advance lmao.

[jrc]

Yes, I am telling you in advance. :bigsmile:

[Kaz]

Cheers, jrc. :thumbs:

When is your half-term holiday then? Here in Scotland the schools finished on Friday for their 2 weeks' autumn holiday. :spin2:

(Commonly known as the Tattie Holidays, because schoolkids used to earn some extra pocket money by picking potatoes during these 2 weeks .... nowadays they're usually harvested by machine - the potatoes that is, not the schoolkids!!!!!.)

*End of Scottish history lesson!* :bigsmile:

[Corkie]

[jrc]

Our half-term ends on Friday 21st October.

[Corkie]

[Corkie]

are dont worry maybe we could post each other saying

[jrc]

Yeah, lol. :laugh:

[Corkie]

than i would reply back saying that was complety pointless

[jrc]

Yeah, I bet you would!

[Z]

Oh I'm off at the end of Friday! Then I go back on the Friday two weeks later, just for the day? *weirdness*

Again, I think Scottish holidays are totally disjointed, they're never the same, my older brother gets the holiday already, and my younger brother gets an extra day *he stays off on the friday when I go back*

[Fangz]

Have fun, jrc. I'll miss your brilliant posts!

[Ruth]

[jrc]

[Dan_]

[jrc]

[Ruth]

Wow, I bet you will haave a great time. Don't forget to tell us about it when you get back!

[jrc]

Thanks Ruth, Grut. You'll be the first to hear about it when I get back! :spin2:

[Legend]
