A mum has told how she used the money she saved by giving up booze to fund the holiday of a lifetime - only for her daughter's school to refuse permission.
Kerensa Robertson, 48, from Essex, and Delphi, was denied permission for the three-week tour to Thailand during term time - despite the break being "more educational than school."
The mum-of-one, who started drinking at 13, has been sober for 29 months, and says the holiday was an important way to reconnect and strengthen her relationship with her daughter.
