Is that right? Did you really say that?

@Sister I certainly can't imagine spending a week in the same apartment with them. I wouldn't get any sleep with the kids. It would NOT be a holiday. I'm just going to ignore it for the time being. I certainly wouldn't be contributing any money. I don't really have any desire to go to NC either; it's not part of France as far as I'm concerned. Should become independent. 

I like the idea of a big national party with everyone bringing their favourite tipple to share!
