The week he says goodbye to friends that will not be going on to the same Juniors. The teacher assured me that it would be better for him to go as they will be doing really boring stuff, so we have agreed.He knows nothing about it yet, I need to pick the right moment as he is quite sensative too. I am sure it will all work out. Anyway, have a lovely time, enjoy and let me know what its like to let the boys know!Emma Herianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892551629938413389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-24597121076860991482008-06-03T23:30:00.000+01:002008-06-03T23:30:00.000+01:00Oh have fun, I've been to the Sherwood Forest Cent...Oh have fun, I've been to the Sherwood Forest Centre Parcs and was lots of fun, love your new pics<BR/>Twiggy xTwiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-56396751478778015482008-06-03T21:21:00.000+01:002008-06-03T21:21:00.000+01:00Have a great time at CP I've never been should ple...Have a great time at CP I've never been should plenty there for the kids!
