    I have a campervan. If I see a really good deal then we will go abroad but if I don't camping it will be.

    My wife wants a UK holiday. Will pop over to Spain tho for a couple of days for a load of duty free!
  • We won't be having a holiday this year but not because of the recession. Just because a holiday with a 1 and 2 year old isn't much of a holiday! As a 2 week holiday in Spain when our eldest was 3 months old taught us. Didn't like the sun, didn't like being in the shade, didn't like the cot, didn't like being out while we ate dinner, spending money on a meal out when we had to take turns wheeling the pram round the block and getting indigestion from eating at top speed when she went into meltdown while waiting for relaxed waiters to get us the bill... no ta.

    Would probably not be so bad as they are a bit older so would have fun in the day but they like their routine so would be very grumpy if we were out past 7pm. So... it's summer at home for us.

    Lots of days out in Broadstairs and Camber Sands is the plan, weather permitting. Then home by teatime.

    Not had a holiday for 15 years - and that was a week in the UK in a flatlet above a B&B with my sister. I got the sofabed as it was only a 1-bed flatlet.

    I think I saw Judith Chalmers do the same itinerary on an episode of 'Holiday' back in 2003.
