Budget Credit Crunch Ski Holiday February Half Term 14/2

In our school out of 60 teachers over a third ski - so that's quite a lot.

We don't all try and blag free school trips - our PE Dept run them and usually accompany the kids. Although saying that as my kids are now grown up I may be going on the next one... And yes I agree that it is a fantastic trip for them and for some the only opportunity they may get when young to try it.

And I did blag some £7.00 session tickets for Chill Factor on a 6th form trip on Wednesday.

If I wasn't a teacher I would take my kids out at term time too but schools are becoming a lot stricter - we have turned down some holiday requests but usually have to concede as the holiday has been booked already.

I read above that someone thinks estate agents are expensive - it's the opposite - they're inexpensive for lets by the week. You could save 40 percent on a 2 star hotel for an ensuite studio room which includes cooking facility (and perhaps a coffee machine!).
