Trying to remember the school tours we went on, but I'm sure it wasn't the best part of a months wages. Mad stuff. My brother has 2 so it would be 2,200.. Ursula - ah, sledging - happy memories of the sledge field a 2 minute walk from where I am right now. All houses now, but we did get snow and spent the day there - not even on a slegde - we used big plastic bags! True Grannymar, it is a mental amount of money.

Ursula – ah, sledging – happy memories of the sledge field a 2 minute walk from where I am right now. All houses now, but we did get snow and spent the day there – not even on a slegde – we used big plastic bags!

You do know you made one omission, don't you? You haven't factored in cost of broken leg and associated hospital care, anguish (mother's) and lots of Toblerone to be consumed to numb all the pain. Skiing trip - my foot. It amounts to child abuse to send children from countries where snow is so absent as to render the place into virtual standstill during the few hours a year it falls. On the other hand, AJ, if your nephew had been invited to go on four days' of sledging down some benign little hills 550 Euros would have been well spent for the sheer joy and fun of it.

It is no way to teach children about handling money. In fact four days under canvas would teach them far more about life in those early years. Leave foreign travel until the children are old enough to appreciate it.

What happens to the family with more than one child?
