awwww you're all talking about hols .. never been on one ... ive had day trips but never a holiday ... one day eh? x

If it's any consolation, i've never taken my girls on holiday. Neither mother could have gone on holiday without freaking about everything and these days I cannot afford for us all to go. Bad father :rolleyes:

I hope to one day before they get too old, hopefully within a couple of years, even if it's only to Butlins or something :rolleyes:

me and philip promised ourselves the first time we could afford a holiday it would be barbados where we'd get married ... very long time away me thinks ... to be honest motm i think id freak as well for some reason new things places and people can sometimes (not all the time) can really panic me x

MotM - nowt wrong with a camping trip! Sadly hubby isn't a camping fan or we'd be away loads - baby and hound too I love camping!
And if you get 2 large tents or 2 large and 1 small for you it'd probably be a hoot! I think you can even get 8/12 people tents is you wanted all the family to be in the tent together
Shouldn't work out too expensive with a little work and lots of freecycle requests

The best holidays I ever had as a kid was a week in Devon and another in Wales. They are by far the most memorable.

There's a gnome reserve in Devon: http://www.gnomereserve.co.uk/ and I remember dancing in a circle with my friend and her mum and my mum and brother wearing gnome hats in the pouring rain. It was really magical. I cant wait to take Leila.

Oh I am so glad to hear some one say that !!
I have never been camping in my life and we are going on Monday for 2 nights !!
I can honestly say I am a little bit scared, but looking forward to it at the same time

I don't know about camping in a field. Not sure the girls would be too up for it. My girls like their hair clean and their beds indoors :rotfl:

I think they'd enjoy Butlins, but it's the cost of all of us and the size of chalet(s). Does anyone know if you pay per person or per chalet?

My Dad was really into potholing when we were kids so we'd all get packed into a car and driven somewhere for a weekend of camping... Usually on a pub car park lol... We loved those camping trips! Once hubby or I can drive and get a car we'll be off every weekend in the summer!
