I Don't Get It (translation thread)

[DanaC]

Well, my Bro and his family do have a family holiday each year, sometimes two, for about a week at a time. But they also have separate holidays sometimes as well. So, for instance, my SiL and her sister might go away for a week leaving Martin and the girls. Or Jen and the girls might go away and leave Martin to have a bit of peace and quiet for a week:P Very rare that Martin goes away without Jen though. I think that's probably happened maybe three times in the last decade. When they were first married it was more common for Martin to go on holiday without Jen, because he used to do caving/potholing trips.

But yeah, most years Jen will go for a holiday with just her sister/friends/the kids at least once. I don't think it's that uncommon really. In fact, I think Jen and Amelia are going away this year. Just the two of them off to Tunisia I think.
