What are your hopes and fears for the summer holiday?

Summer holidays is always an interesting one in our house of a single parent to three, two of which at university, one's moved out and two come back. One's just left secondary school. The only thing that gets you through summer holidays, unfortunately, is credit. It's my credit card. So I'll be splitting the payments up over at least minimum of two credit cards from my overdraft, unfortunately, and getting into debt. And then hopefully that is cleared by Christmas. And then we start all over again with Christmas. And it can be a bit of a never ending story or cycle of in debt, out of out of debt. But I'm hoping this year is not as bad and I'm hoping to get, to get it all cleared a lot quicker. But unfortunately, yes, I foresee me getting through this summer holiday on just lines of credit.
