Hi ladies, I'm way over tired, but with the way things are here at the moment, I'm not really sleeping!  Ds2 is going to Alton towers in less than 2 hours (leaving school at 6am), and this is the first time he has been willing to travel to England!(He is a very Welsh little boy, prefering to stay at home), however although I am not 100% about trusting him, my concern is this.  The boy that was bullying him earlier in the year is also going on the trip, dh doesn't know yet, but ds2 has said that he will be hanging around with this kid in his group while he is there.  Apparently they have become friends (but up until last week I know there were still a few issues between them), and I can't help panicing.  If dh knew he would stop him from going, as he doesn't trust ds2 very much, so I am sat here waiting to give ds2 and hubs the wake up call at about 5am, so I can go to bed, and then dh can take him to the bus!  But as you can imagine because I am over tired, and exhausted my mind is just working, and now I'm rambling. 

Sorry ladies just had to let this out!

Hiya Vix,

I agree with Emma, they'll be amazed when they get there by how much there is to do, so the last thing on their minds will be falling out and arguing!
I'm sure things will be fine and he'll come back later and chew your ear off for hours telling you about what they've done.

Maybe a really exciting trip out together having fun could just be what is needed for them to get to know each other a bit better, so i wouldnt worry about him, he'll be just fine!
