Thanks guys. Little development in that her friend was available and has S2 and is picking S6 up from school (same age kids and at same school), so no problem there but I am having them overnight again.
Mike, I hear ya and that is my conundrum. Thing is, it's my work time I then have to make up or take holiday for and if I were to regularly do this (as I am pretty sure she would try), I then lose time when I could have days off with them both as planned and not just S2. S6 gets so little time with me on his own as it is that I don't want to eat into that.
In a way, I'm glad it's not a definite answer as that make me feel I'm not being awkward or a bad dad or something
