Just find out who you have a contract with and take them to court.

It will not cost you anything as they have to pay court charges, you will be awarded interest and hopefully you will get your money quickish.

As said above clients that dont pay are not worth having

“If you have someone that wants to take the child out of school prior to a school holiday to save costs etc then I don’t see the harm in that”

The trouble is that if it happens once it is likely to happen again. I get sick of talking to supposedly supportive parents who “have the best possible intentions for their kids” but as soon as the see the pound signs pull them out of lessons for an “educational trip”, sometimes weeks before their exams.

“Is 5 days such a big deal?”

Yes, because it starts to set a bad precedent both for parents and kids

As a teacher here is my 2 penny worth

1. Taking kids off school give out the wrong signals about the importance of education.
2. Dont come to me (or whoever) and complain when you kids is messing around in lessons and not achieving because he’s no longer bothered ( and thinks his parents have the same attitude)
3. Dont come to me (or whoever) and complain when your kid underperforms in his GCSE’s.
4. What is the educational value of seeing Micky Mouse?
I personally think it is very selfish of parents to take kids outof school so THEY can save money on holidays.

Well I actually like Sams Town, and Spaceman is an excellent track.

The clash lost something for me after give it enough rope and kosheen when they went all guitars and indians

I broke mine years ago. At the time I was told by a specialist that if it did not heal properly I could develop arthritis later on. Might be something like that.

I seem to have throw a fair bit away on the stockmarket

There will be loads of biking around the area, and there should (normally) be no problem with the with the weather. Carcasonne is only 25 mins from Narbonne, not much higher and the coastal areas usually have decent weather in Feb.

Prades is miles away from Carcasonne.

check this site http://www.utagawavtt.com/randonnee-vtt-gps and search under dept. Aude. There seems to be loads in the surrounding area. Also, the is a centre VTT at a village called Aragorn just east of Carcasonne with waymarked routes.

I have been looking for a MPV recently and have finally decided on the FRV. Its smaller than the touran (a disadvantage) but all the surveys and reviews are very positive where as there are loads of nightmare stories about the touran.

It drives well for an MPV, is much better looking than the multipla.
The AA man who came to sort my renault said he never got called out to them.
On the down side, if you have the front seat slid back, you cannot get all the rear seats flat.
