Holidays

Oooh Claire aren't you a good'un. Yes I would go there, probably AI (willing to pay a bit more for that really).

I dream of being able to go away outside of the school holidays ☹️

Work?? I'm sorry, what is this work you speak of?? ?

But waterparks are great! I was once went on holiday to Tunisia with my now ex husband and our two youngest daughters, the hotel had a brilliant pool area with a huge waterslide, kept the girls, aged 14 & 16 (& me) very well entertained for the whole fortnight!

We're going to Devon this year, staying in my grandparents caravan which is about 20 minutes from the beach, really looking forward to it!

Next year we've decided we'd like to try a last minute holiday but i've never done one before so I'm a bit nervous about it, has anyone done one before? Who did you go through?

Sames... ?

I know - I told him to get back to work himself and stop texting me - someone has to pay for whatever I book!!! ?

Our honeymoon was the only holiday we booked in advance!

Lastminute.com to Egypt, booked 5 weeks before we went. 2* hotel, a little way out of town but clean and food was very good.

Teletext Holidays to Morocco, booked 5 days before we went!! 2* apartments, lovely, big and clean.

Teletext Holidays to Egypt and Turkey, booked 2 weeks before we went. Spent a week in Turkey in 2* apartments (a few issues with the room but at £65 for the week we couldn't really complain and the staff were great!!), flew back to the UK for 24 hours then off again to Egypt in a 3* hotel, clean and well located (was cheaper than flying from Turkey to Egypt!)

All holidays were good, as long as the apartments/hotels were clean we weren't too fussed!

Oooh Claire you are amazing! Have you been to Portugal before? I reckon H will be tempted by the cheapy s/c option ?

Hmmm true, surely I should get a discount for this?

H is coming to my work now to get the keys, I shall ask him. ?

I have been to Albufeira before... there are some lovely restaurants in the old town as Claire said and the beaches are lovely.

The "strip" is an interesting place!! Think clubs and bars and neon!

The other place I have been to is Vilamoura, which is a marina town... lots of expensive boats!!!

The suite princess in Gran canaria is also adults only. Thomson do quite a few of them. We went in September. Nice and quiet, no screaming or brats splashing. Food was better too as they were not catering for kids so less of the chicken nuggets. (ps. I love kids just not on my holidays)

Even better, I shall meet Mummy Claire for some vino and we can be synners together.

I've found the hotel on a holiday company website, rather than a review site, and it does say Adult Only! Phew!

Cool, thanks for that - I'll look them all up tonight and let you know how we get on!

This is where we're off to this year (You can get cheaper if you scroll through the dates) http://www.thomson.co.uk/thomson/page/byo/accomdetails/accomdetails.page?packageNumber=0331981338185100000133820610000042813388151000001338822900000429&locationName=Altinkum&tuiCtryCode=TUR&tuiDestCode=001559&tuiResortCode=000444&tuiAccomCode=033198&numAdults=2&numChildren=0&childInfantAges=&searchPageName=HomeSch&searchFlag=FHPISearch&maxPartySize=9&moreDestinations=false&moreResorts=false&holiday_type=&timestamp=1329844082215&type=&day=28&monthYear=5%2F2012&displayDay=22&displayMonth=Feb&displayYear=12&departureDate=2012-5-28&departureMargin=7&duration=7&dayTripSearch=false&checkOutDay=4&checkOutMonthYear=6%2F2012&checkOutDisplayDay=4&checkOutDisplayMonth=Jun&checkOutDisplayYear=12&departureAirportCode=*LN&countryDestCode=207%7C920&resortAccomCode=1123%7C373&countryCode=207&destinationCode=920&resortCode=1123&accommodationCode=373&departure=&accommFeaturesBitValue=0&accommodationType=0&rating=0&numberOfRooms=1&roomConfigurationFormBean.room%5B0%5D.adult=2&roomConfigurationFormBean.room%5B0%5D.children=0

Looks lovely and 5 stars on Trip Advisor which is a must for me.

We're also off camping in the Lake District in April and hopefully a city break or two later in the year

Mexican five star luxury for us...

but I love Gran Canaria for a cheapie!

I take back my no holidays for this year... just had an email about a hen do in Ibiza in the summer... woooo!

No where [:'(] Honeymoon is cancelled so we *may* go camping for my birthday. Which is in April. Which wont be cold at all.

We're off to Mexico 5* for honeymoon!.....although we havent been away for 14 months by then! Groupon often have good breaks as well, or as previously suggested teletext....my uncle and aunty swear by it

New York...and trying to cut down my weekly grocery bill so that we can afford to go twice (once with our son and once by ourselves)

We arent going anywhere but hoping to have a few days in Rothesay just after the wedding. Its really beautiful there!

Lucky you! ?

We're going on a family holiday to Crete for a week in August - AI and a private pool, can't wait!

Got a couple of weekend trip plans with the Hubby and I'm hoping to combine one with a meeting of a good friend of mine - hopefully two!

We' also going to try and book a holiday in October half term - I'm hoping Blackpool as I love the tackiness and it would mean a trip to Liverpool...

My friend books her holiday as soon as the brochures come out to get free kid's places etc.

We've got a 10 week honeymoon to look forward to Thailand, Australia, Dubai, Doha and maybe Vietnam. Too excited!

I want one! ☹️

Sounds AMAZING!

I really can't wait! Feel like we deserve it though, over here we are only entitled to 10 holidays a year. I had around 35 before I left the UK, so it was a massive shock to the system!

Yes, I think you definitely deserve it after that. I could not cope with only 10 days holiday.

I'm going nowhere. The fact that my sister is off to Australia for 3 weeks in April to visit my mum is making me even more p*ssed off!?

Well in the 2 1/2 years that my mum has been gone I have got married and brought a forever house - she could have moved when I didnt have big things to pay for!!

The plan is to try and go next year but it all depends on money and we now also have the dog to worry about.

Northern Ireland next month to visit the in laws then south of france in Sept! We have been really lucky/jammy with this, my SIL has a time share thingie there and they have decided they wont be using it this year as they have a baby due so have offered it to us!

both of these are cheap as good old cheesy jet and free accom but probably not much inspiration im afraid!

Thailand (Koh Samui) in April- can't wait! But that's not cheap. The rest of our holidays will be closer to our home so we can drive to most of them and only stay for a long weekend. We are going to be heading back to the UK at some point, that'll be a holiday too.
