Apologies for posting a non-stock thread but I thought some people may be interested in planning what could be a break of a lifetime - with the kids !!
A mate of mine decided to have a 3 month life break last ski season - took the kids with him - and everyone came back energised. The greatest "risk" was their concern over how such a break might affect the kids - particularly their educational needs.
He has now sorted that and is looking for a few other families to join him and his family - by taking the schooling with them.
